Invisible
Man by Ralph Ellison should be read by every dark skinned male as soon as
possible. I say male because dark females have their own problems and are not concerned
with our fates at all. We should read this book early in our lives because it
teaches a valuable lesson. Invisible Man tells us that if we do not control the
social institutions that we need to function in this world we will not achieve
anything useful for ourselves. Ellison explains that we are nothing if we are
dependent on other communities no matter how much work we do. Ellison should
not have to remind the children of a people that worked from sun up to sun down
so master could live a grand life of this reality. It seems that dark people
have some kind of mental block that forces us to have to learn the same lesson
every generation. Ralph Ellison did us a huge service by writing Invisible Man.
You should do yourself a favor and read this book.
