This review is from: Blueprint for Black Power: A Moral, Political, and Economic Imperative for the Twenty-First Century (Paperback)

ECONOMIC DESTINY DETERMINES BIOLOGICAL DESTINY!This book although big and thick it really is the blueprint for power. It expands on what BLACK Labor White Wealth by Claude Anderson PHD talks about. This book covers all the bases. Mr Wilson's book shows how insightful he is about the problems we face today. He shows several ways how we can have heaven while we LIVE overnight if we do what he suggests. It shows how the power is within our grasp if we will only wake up and raise our consciousness of what is really going on, I was awakened several times in this book; Wilson names names of the organizations and the people in the organizations that are anti black. He names the black leaders that are anti black too. He explains what's going on and why it continues unabated. He talks about how the nation uses psychic warfare to keep African Americans down. He explains how they deliberately keep blacks out of higher education; yes, we do get an education but there are different levels of education. There's the education that will teach you how to use a computer and then there's the education that will teach you how to make a computer from raw materials. Big difference! He talks about how blacks have very few people who have this very high level of knowledge that can be used by blacks to be more valuable to the world. He explains how too many blacks have a consumer mentality not a producer mentality. He has charts and references galore showing startling comparisons between blacks and whites that should not be missed by anyone of african ancestry. He goes deep into the obstacles that are holding blacks back in spite of drive and determination to succeed(Think and Grow Rich a black choice IS NOT the last word on success). He really made me rethink whether or not it is probable not possible to succeed when starting with no money. Wilson says the odds are against it. Of course you can always find someone who has succeeded from all the ghettos in the world but what about the other people in the same situation who didn't have any money, no inheritance from parents, no references, no relatives, no insurance money coming to them because their parents just died, no money coming to them from an injury and no one to give you advice. This is why so many blacks find themselves in jail or working menial jobs according to Wilson. The author suggests an african centered consciousness that will help the weakest one of us and help all of us to see immediate progress. This book is truly shocking; over and over again he talks about the consequences of not raising ourselves up:BIOLOGICAL DEMISE! Really this is no joking manner; the author has me convinced and Black Wealth White Labor says the same thing that if we do not learn how to compete with white people we will go the way of the indians. It is imperative that we adapt this philosophy before it is too late.

5.0 out of 5 stars Blue Print for Black Power, March 7, 2004

Sunny Days "sparkle" (New York, NY United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Blueprint for Black Power: A Moral, Political, and Economic Imperative for the Twenty-First Century (Paperback)

A lot to read, but well worth the investment. This book, if taken to heart, should be required reading for all Blacks and anyone interested in the advancment of Black people. Every thing you ever wanted to know about the who, what, when, where and why of the Black condition and how to rise above White dominance is right here.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Manual/Rational for Action, February 9, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Blueprint for Black Power: A Moral, Political, and Economic Imperative for the Twenty-First Century (Paperback)

Baba Wilson died prior to getting this book released to our (intellectually) hungry masses. After 4 1/2 years of waiting it finally has become available for us to read and USE. Unlike a lot of European scholars and Afro European Psychologists and Historians, Baba Wilson believed in the subjective presentation of fact and history so that it CAN BE USED. All of his writings are important and must be read! PLEASE Do Not Forget to READ his other works (do not buy them to say I've got that one--those of you who know can hear me). Read Marimba Ani's work Yurugu. We must begin to build, it is the culmination of our intellectual pursuits. Action without knowledge is foolish/blind. Kwoledge without action is DEAD. Figuratively and Literaly. Damu...
