IT MAY NOT BE RIGHT, BUT AMERICA STILL OPERATES IN BLACK AND WHITE

The Phoenix will set you off on your journey through Racial Clarity

White Flight Taken To A Whole New Level

Many dance around racial issues, while others dance to a tune of unity!

"...This lack of intamacy---born out of racial, social, economic, and culutal differences---logically leads to psychological and emotional abandonment as well..."

And last, the provocative commentary will challenge you! It will make you think! It may elicit some "Amens!", or it may make you blow a gasket. In any event, Racial Clarity will make you think about how you view the relationship between blacks and whites in America. The book was made to open up a dialogue, and keep the dialogue open.

Thank you for visiting racialclarity.com. Please sign the guestbook, and stroll through the site!

Racial Clarity is a digest-sized paperback that contains 198 pages dedicated to discussing and portraying different aspects on race in America. It is a literary journey that promises to take the reader on an emotional rollercoaster ride through racial perspectives from one black man in America. My hope is that the book will challenge many to question what type of America they would like their children to inherit, and help people to understand the dynamics of racism from the perspective of one African-American man.

Socio-economic segregation based on racism provides fertile ground for all manner of ills that can slowly rob a nation of life. America is showing the symptoms today. The socio-economic gap between blacks and whites is widening. Inequities and disparities in education, infrastructure, healthcare, etc. are the symptoms. And, they are foreboding.

The seeming unwillingness of those in positions of power and influence to make sure that all of America's citizens are prepared and able to add to the economic enrichment and creativity of our country is already causing America to lose its footing as the leader in the global economy. This doesn't even include America's loss of social and political credibility due to questionable policies by all divisions of government. As a nation, we can treat and turn back this disease. But first, we must cleanse our hearts and be true tourselves and God.

Racial Clarity is self-published---partly because I like it this way, and partly because there are too many unnecessary obstacles overcome to get a book published by a "major" publishing house due to seemingly arbitrary and subjective standards by executives that are not in touch with the average man. Every word was chosen, and every sentenced crafted to make this one-of-a-kind book second to none. The works span over two decades, and some of the poems that were written 20 years ago have a message that still applies today. The images are simple, but like the emboldened quotations that reside on some of the pages unto themselves, they will illicit much thought and introspection. Racial Clarity is simple, yet refined. It is a relatively short trip in pages, but the book opens up the doors of different perspectives that will take your mind on an unending journey through the complex and expansive racial divide that exists in America.

Racial Clarity is power-packed full of fresh and contemporary poetry that will inform, entertain, and affect the reader for the rest of their lives!

Simple, yet insightful images, will help conjure certain thoughts to the mind. For example:

Like the mighty phoenix, I will fly

Higher and higher into the sky

Straight from the blood of mother Earth

And spread my message for what it's worth.

This book is a great value! For the cost of a cheap meal, a night out at the movies, or a few cups of coffee at Starbucks, you will gain a book that will challenge your thoughts about race, and possibly enrich the way that you look at life in general.

Race! At times it seems like the subject is taboo. It's the dirty four-letter word that no one wants to use, but everyone knows exists. And when someone dares to use the term, various reactions come to the forefront---from apathy to feigned or real imagination.

Discussions and even remarks about racism between persons of the same ethnic group are generally civil. But when people of different races discuss the dynamics and repercussions of racism upon their respective communitites, deep emotions, irrational

thinking, and seeming insanity sometimes run rampant. Moreover, when the time comes to admit that racism is still a huge problem in America, the already charged emotions are multiplied.

Race relations have not improved in many areas of society. With the gradual erosion of programs like Affirmative Action, we will have to depend upon our own sense of humanity, morality and spirituality to lead us to the time when we will be judged by the "content of our character, and not the color of our skin," as first expressed by Dr. Martin Luther King. This book hopes to provide some meaningful insight about racial issues from the perspective of a black man in America. Each work in the book was done independent of another, but there are some recurring themes. Moreover, respective subject matter will at least have a subtle relevance to the effects of racism that may not be readily apparent to those whose hearts are hardened and minds are closed. Each work is a different place among a journey, with visual images and sayings as points of interest along the way.

The essays and poems. as well as the sayings and illustrations, are meant to facilitate a discussion about tough racial problems in America that are insidiously tearing away at the fabric of society in much the same way that termites destroy the finest wooden homes if left uninhibited. Some viewpoints presented within this work may be controversial, but it is my hope that they will elicit introspection and pull readers' heartstrings to action.

The future of America and her children will be bleek if she continues on her path, disoriented and oblivious to the profound impact of her choices that she makes today. Unfulfilled dreams and missed opportunities to truly let her light shine are not what her descendants envisioned for her. Racial Clarity hopes to bring the problems of racial and socioeconomic oppression back to the forefront of America's mind, so that she can build herself a gateway back to a course of economic and moral prosperity that she and her children desire.
