Jerri's Live

The author mentions several Blackmen that formed their own religious organizations in opposition to slavery taught Christianity. She ends by talking about the ego of the Blackman playing a huge part in him not facing up to the fact that he has been misguided for hundreds of years. The solution is that he be re educated. He has to wipe his brain clean of all the falsehood.

She begins to talk about Jesus and how the bible speaks little about the history of the man. We know little facts like he was born in a manger with two parent home etc. She then talks how the supernatural things added makes us pay more attention. Immaculate conception, rose from dead.

She just goes deeper into the misguided religion that was forced on the Black man. She goes into the bible and points out verses that the whiteman used to trick the blackman into staying submissive to their wordly Master. "love your enemy" "turn the other cheek"

This section focused on the history of religion and how Christianity was put into the minds of the slaves. She talks about how the slaves sung negro spirituals that were made by slaves who before being able to fully speak the English language, were crying out and trying to get back to Africa. They would then connect songs with their new brainwashed teaching that they would die and be happy. Death became their relief. Going home to Jesus.

She talks about lack of rehab and how crack cocaine is very hard to get off of.

This Chapter is titled The Law 911 She does a great job with the statistics in this chapter. She points out that there are too many blackmen incarcerated to be a small part of America.

She gets into entertainment in this section. I like how she compares the role of the Blackman in Good Times (James) verses The Cosby Show (Cliff)

What stood out to me in this part was her mentioning that the Blackman because of his superiority in physical strength was still being treated like he was in slavery for entertainment purposes of the whiteman. Now he gets a pat on the butt and a big paycheck which normally pairs him with a white woman.

This chapter is titled recreation. She describes how the playing sports and other games is deemed as great but has a negative impact on the blackman

I love how the author talks about pulling our resources together to own our own stores, restaurants etc in our own neighborhoods. She points out how easy it seems to be for Chinese people and others to settle in the black neighborhoods with their stores. They heard that black people were some of the biggest consumers even with little money. We help others get rich and stay rich while watching our race fall off a cliff into a jail cell or a grave.
