How is this different from "Black labor, White wealth".
I didn't read Black Labor but this book is to be used in addition to that and Powernomics. It's written in Q&A format which can be read cover to cover or selectively since each question stands alone. He gives detailed legal components of reparations strategies based on Constitutional Law. Amendments 13-15 was written specifically for Black Americans descendents of slaves. Haven't read it completely but it goes chronologically from before US inception to present day Trump election. He also defines words that are used loosely like diversity. Slave Codes of 1705 were the first diversity laws to maintain dominance of a majority slave population (1 White to every 4 Blacks in the South and 1 Black to 4 Whites in the North as it was designated to the the management class) to the 1730 when the British government wanted to reduce the number of slaves imported and establish Georgia(a penal colony full of former prisoners and insane asylum patients) as a buffer to stop runaways from SC migrating to sanctuaries in Spanish Florida. Which also required White males to enlist in local militia and bear arms for slave monitoring (2nd Amendment) which set the stage for Blacks to be a permanent underclass and how immigrants have always surpassed Blacks because of the social construct. Also provides examples of secret black organizations and Supreme Court wins that allowed advancement. Won't spoil it but hope this gives you some insight breh.

This is probably what I been looking for! FINALLY a NEW book on medieval West African history. Hope this author drops some new gems, because most books on this part of African history has the same old info. The same old same old. Gotta pick this up.

Not to deflect but I wish more authors would go into the West African empires below the Sahel.....

Just copped it. Had to. Many people say this book has new gems. Lets hope so as many books on this subject has the same oldie moldie shyt. Lets also hope the author does not go overboard gay for Islam and neglect the "Africaness" of this history like MOST do on this subject.
