Urban America is a book by Khalil Gibran Muhammad. CLICK for an overview by Muhammad of the book.
==================
Bill Moyer Interview
I like the way Khalil addresses the historic ignorance of African Americans by all; and, how the ignorance has been by-design - how it has perpetuated the privilege mentality. How baggage is assumed and passed on due to ignorance and lack of wealth for sustainability. His convesation of history allows us all to do so much better.
The indepth discussion opens the windows-doors that allow review and honesty of the history of the United States founding fathers. Their lack of morals and criminal behavior. How the history books are devoid of truth and protrays the continuation of deceit and wrongdoings. How today's racism is so alive and well.
He talks about the dishonest wording of the Declaration of Independence by Thomas Jefferson, 3rd President of the United States and author of the Declaration of Independence - "all men created equal".
Thomas Jefferson was an owner of slaves, after the July 4, 1775 date - refused to free them and had children by an African American woman. His contradictions went further to articles/papers defending the privilege of Caucasians. This history as is so much other history then and now are NOT known and must be shared with our elementary thru college students to help set the framework for a better society - a society that is moving to a majority of People of Color.
The by-design criminalizing and perpetuating a climate of disparity for crime and unsafe environments also allowsd enslavement through lack of knowledge, ownership, wealth-building of African American and other People of Color.
