Review Of Nigger By Randall Kennedy

The word nigger is like many other words, it is what we make it. Nigger by Randall Kennedy gives a nice history of the word nigger and how it became a violent word by one group over another. Nigger also shows how the victims of the word nigger took the word and made it a term and managed it differently. Kennedy tells us how the word nigger can be a term of affection or harm depending on where it used or who is using it on who. The fact that a word like nigger can still create so much chaos while our empire is literally falling apart shows how insane our society is. We tend to pour too much into some words while we let other words fly. You can read Nigger by Randall Kennedy to see for yourself the power that the word nigger has on consciousness of the United States.

Review Of Negro President By Garry Wills

Negro President by Garry Wills will teach you more about presidential politics than any political science class are willing to teach. This book teaches how slave votes were used during Thomas Jefferson’s day and how the votes of the descendants of those slaves are used today. Not much has changed in this regard. Many people have criticized Jefferson for writing all men are created equal while he was holding slaves and got elected by slave holders. Jefferson was not a hypocrite because he did not think that dark people were full people. I do not think that there is evidence that Jefferson was brutal to his slaves. I do not think that he was overly kind to them either. It seems as though slavery was an institution that had to be managed like any other institution. Negro President also taught me a few things about George Washington that I did not know. You know what happens on the surface of presidential politics, but you may not know what happens beneath the surface. Negro President by Garry Wills looks under the hood and takes apart the engine that drives presidential politics.

Review Of Windtalkers By John Woo

The film Windtalkers by John Woo is a film about empire. In one sense it shows two empires that were fighting for the western world in World War II. The main point of Windtalkers is to show what those at the bottom of an empire can expect from the people who rule and manage the empire. In the film indigenous people of this territory called the United States helps to defeat German Nazis by using their language. The Nazis could never break the code of the indigenous peoples. As you watch the indigenous people kill and bleed for the U. S. you wonder why they would fight for a people that tried to wipe them off of the earth. We also know that nothing has been done by anyone to benefit the peoples who maintained this beautiful land until outsiders came. Watch Windtalkers by John Woo to see who you should fight for. 

Review Of Malcolm X: The Last Speeches By Bruce Perry

Growing up without a father and a mother that was raising other people’s children I had to find elders who cared. Malcolm X was always, and will always be, one of my favorites. Malcolm X: The Last Speeches edited by Bruce Perry shows exactly why. Perry put together a group of speeches by Malcolm X that are just as important today as when Malcolm spoke them. I always loved Malcolm because he gave analysis of whole systems and tied them to our daily lives. He also never stopped growing. If Malcolm saw that an organization was lacking he would move on, creating institutions from scratch if necessary. So many leaders become comfortable where they are. I wish more people had the courage that Malcolm X did. If you do not really know Malcolm X read Malcolm X: The Last Speeches edited by Bruce Perry and you may become a fan.

Review Of Fight For freedom By Carey Robinson

I picked up the book Fight for Freedom by Carey Robinson while in Jamaica. It was the best thing about that trip for me. Robinson tells about everyone from the Arawaks to Three-Finger Jack. As you read through the book you see that all of the slaves were defiant. Genocide could not stop the natives and the slaves from fighting against those who tried to keep them in bondage. After reading Fight for Freedom I began to wonder what happened to that fighting spirit in Jamaica. I saw a country that produces bauxite which is valuable and poverty of the masses. How can you have valuable minerals along side poverty of the citizens? It must be cowardice or some kind of mind control. The people of Jamaica need to read Fight for Freedom by Carey Robinson before they look up and find themselves in chains.

Review Of Terror Attacks By Vivian Head & Anne Williams

You would think that terrorism just started in the late 20^th century, but terror as a political tool has been here for centuries. Terror Attacks by Vivian Head and Anne Williams gives us a history of terrorism. I have been terrorized by the NYPD since I was a teenager, but other members of the empire of the United States are just catching on. Terror Attacks will show how governments are responsible for many acts of terror directly as well as indirectly. The easiest way for a government to implement police control with permission is to carry out an act of terrorism and blame the act on someone else. The state will spend an eternity looking for bad guys that do not exist. Terror Attacks also gives us knowledge of how many destructive groups are funded by western governments. It seems like the west can only deal with global thugs. Terror Attacks by Anne Williams and Vivian Head clarified a lot about who commits acts of terror on who for me. It can enlighten you as well, if you have the courage to see.
