A few weeks ago I realized I fukked around and bought like 30 books so far this year :whoo: idk who the hell I thought I was doing that, knowing DAMN WELL I don't read like that. Other books in the queue though that I plan to read by year's end:

  • "Ten steps to financial freedom" by Al Herron (a Dallas OG :salute:)
  • "Black labor white wealth" by Dr. Claude Anderson
  • "The ISIS Papers" by Frances Cress Welsing
  • "Black skin, white masks" by Frantz Fanon
Pretty sure there's more but idk wtf I did with them :lupe:

Like I said in the some other book thread

Afrotopia-felwine-Sarr-Anne-et-arnaud.png


Great book about how Africa needs to invent its own future and not try to copy the West's model. Not sure if it's translated in English (it should be, too good a book) but I recommend it to anyone interested in Africa. Author Felwine Sarr is a professor in Senegal, economics I think.

Shapiro reveals how the lack of these family assets along with continuing racial discrimination in crucial areas like homeownership dramatically impact the everyday lives of many black families, reversing gains earned in schools and on jobs, and perpetuating the cycle of poverty in which far too many find themselves trapped.

Guess I'll check this out feeling like they got me on a treadmill or something right now.
