5.0 out of 5 stars A must read and heed, a wake up call for African-Americans!, September 23, 1999
Bill Clinton's "sex scandal" and Richard Nixon's "Watergate" pale in comparison to the "Conspiracy to destroy Black Boys". The hardest part to accept about the Conspiracy is that there is actually a system embedded into the fiber of our society, that's supported by our tax dollars and society to destroy the African American Boys. This "Conspiracy" is part of a larger plan to render the African American in America futile, powerless and ineffectual. When I look back at how my classmates and I were treated by the school system when we showed educational promise is enough to make me sick. When we were promoted to the Jr High level (7-8) we were not placed in the advanced class with the white kids and had it not been for the efforts of our parents we would have been stuck in regular classes, never to reach our potential. Some of us never did! The book explodes with fact after fact about the very real concept of Genocide and how the Educational system is being manipulated to discourage our boys to dropout, focus on sports, lose intrest in education all together, and seek alternative means of survival (i.e.a life of crime and violence.) As repulsive as the concept of Genocide is the book also inspires me to action and not to sit idly by and not try to improve the plight of our young defenseless brothers. The suggestions to counter the Conspiracy are practical and relevent and holds each and every African American responsible for the saving of our children and assuring that our future in America will be one of prosperity and justice. The book suggest alternatives to the status quo, and it will take unity, courage, and resouces to turn this thing around.

Thank you,

5.0 out of 5 stars An Honest No Punches Pulled Assessment ..., June 14, 2006
Dr Kunjufu is one of the few public voices speaking reasonably and honestly regarding the Mis-Education of the American black male child as a result of the inadequacies of the American Public Education system. The current system has been carelessly designed, poorly assessed, and inadequadetly held to account. The best possible education seems no longer to be the goal of the sytem; and creativity, flexibility and passion on the part of those that administrate and guide it is woefully missing. My apologies to those few caring souls (teachers and administrators) who are struggling against the very system in which they work, in order to make a tremendous difference in the lives of our American children; my prayers are with you and I exhort you to continue the battle, though frustrating it may be! We must heed the words of Dr Kunjufu and bring ethnic and gender sensitivity to the science of teaching and relevant practices that maximize overall learning. We must work to bring more well qualified African American males into the profession of teaching, and draw them into the inner city schools, compensate them well, encourage and uphold them, recognize and empower them. We should once again look seriously at single gender schools, or at least single gender programming within schools. It makes sense and it improves school performance. Thanks Dr Kunjufu for all your tremendous works!

5.0 out of 5 stars Kunjufu: African American genius, December 14, 2004
In Reading Kunjufu's Countering the Conspiracy to Destroy Black Boys, I think that the book REALLY does an excellent job in discussing the problems, and implementing solutions as to how we as a people can save our BLACK boys. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading,period. I especially THINK that all educators (teachers, prinicpals, etc.) should be required to read this book at least once duriing their lifetime.
