Product Description

“Those people are not Africans, they don’t know a … thing about Africa; with names like Shaniqua, Shaligua, Mohammed, and all that crap, and all of them are in jail.”
—Bill Cosby

If you found some truth in Bill Cosby’s infamous “Ghettosburg Address” (given in 2004, during the fiftieth anniversary celebration of the landmark lawsuit Brown vs. Board of Education), where the comedian denounced the dumbing down of black America, read on. Ass Backwards is even more abrasive and provocative.

Much like a hibernating bear, author “Kodiack” awakens after thirty-five years to accept his role as the underdog and heed his calling to condemn irresponsible black leaders who encourage the slave mentality in black communities. A veteran policeman, Kodiack critically analyzes his experiences in a city with a 70 percent Caucasian population—in which black individuals commit 80 percent of felony crimes. Kodiack has developed a near hatred of African Americans who hinder the progress of his race by perpetuating negative stereotypes.

In this timely and controversial account, Kodiack offers a bold voice to anyone who is afraid of being labeled a bigot, a racist, and a sellout.



About the Author

The Author is a veteran policeman and graduate of Norfolk State University, in Norfolk Virginia. Earning a degree in Mass Communications has developed Kodiack into an award-winning writer whose social commentaries are controversial and challenging. Kodiack now lives in Philadelphia with his wife and two daughters.

5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST READ FOR THOSE TIRED OF THE COMPLACENCY IN YOUR COMMUNITY!, December 24, 2007
By Rhonda MS (Newark, NJ United States) - See all my reviews
Ass Backwards: A Black Police Officers Hatred for Inner City Criminals and Their EnablersThis is a no-holds barred look into the complacency that plagues our inner cities from the perspective of an officer who wanted to make a difference in his community. He takes us through his times as a Kansas City police officer and gives us a bird's eye view from his perspective, which we don't always get to see.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who likes to look beneath the surface of what is going on in our communities all across the country, about the stereotypes that we face, and what we can do to make a change.

The book ends on a very powerful note on how no matter how successful we become, some stereotypes are just so hard to shake... A very good and interesting read!!!
