Book Description
Malcolm X once said that "So we won't solve the problem listening to that Uncle Tom Negro, and the problem won't be solved listening to the so-called white liberal. The only time the problem is going to be solved is when a Black man can sit down like a Black man and a white man can sit down like a white man. And make no excuses whatsoever with each other in discussing the problem. No offense will stem from factors that are brought up. But both of them have to sit down like men, on one side and on the other side, and look at it in terms of Black and white. And then take some kind of solution based upon the factors that we see, rather than upon that which we would like to believe.". This book takes that approach as it looks into all the factors that have created generations of strife of BROWN vs WHITE. Racial issues persist for many reasons, one of the main reasons is that we refuse to address why Africans have traditionally been used as laborers not only by white people but by all other cultures which encountered Africa pre-industrial era, including by other Africans. Historically, some researchers have tried to answer this issue by suggesting a genetic deficiency or lack of cognitive abilities by Africans but clearly, this is not the case. BROWN vs WHITE explores the reality that Egypt and Libya are NOT the same as "black Africa" so when black people point to Egyptian history and achievements to imply Africans were and are just as advanced as other cultures, they are actually appropriating another culture's history. Ancient Egyptians came from Phoenicia. Egyptians, are not black Africans. Lastly, until the black man can accept that the African slave trade was operating long before Europeans came to the shores of Africa; that the Ashanti and Yoruba tribes were capturing and selling their fellow Africans to Arabs for centuries before the first white ship pulled up to an African dock -- until that day, the racial strife will continue between BROWN vs WHITE.
