What's Wrong with Black People: What Blacks Will Not Say Publicly W Edward Makk

Publisher Marketing: What is my motivation for this social commentary? I might commence with the notion that my reasons are altruistic, but that would not be totally true. I might add that I am driven vindictively to attack some institutions and their representatives --maybe. Or, I just want to sell books and become affluent --to a degree this is true, but not the whole story Let's look at altruism. I do dream of having the money to donate to my favorite causes. I am fascinated with the world of news presented by Al Jazeera, European Journal, Newsline, National Public Radio, and British Broadcasting Corporation. The news from these sources is not the Newsglib (chatty exchanges) between newsreaders or the Glamor Political Opinion Forum that consists of commentary espoused by men, who may or may not be attractive, and by attractive, well heeled females. These newsreaders have connections to a political movement and parrot the party line from Fox News on the right or MSNBC on the left. I find the news more credible if the newsreader looks like someone I know: sans cosmetics for the studio lights. The stories from Al Jazeera or the BBC expose world conditions that evoke strong responses. There is war close up; children starving in Syria; women and children being raped by soldiers in the never ending African conflicts. Inasmuch, I am driven by altruism to set up educational funds for the children of Africa, especially Somalia, Mali, and the Congo. I would try to help the women of Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and the Muslim/Taliban world arrive at some type of self-actualization. It must be terrible knowing that you live in a world of determinism: your life is planned by the social and religious structures.
