Summary: A MUST READ FOR BLACK AMERICANS
Review: This book proves the absolute travesty of history education given to students in the U.S. As a young black man taught in public schools, one almost gasps in astonishment at how sinister US textbook authors are by completely marginalizing and minimalizing slavery and its place in american history.

The US economy was founded off of the mass exploitation of blacks, producing most if not all of the goods and services this country (and European countries) consumed and traded with other nations. When one quantifies the whole of what blacks experienced through 450 years of holocaust, one wonders how on earth we managed to survive in the first place.

An example of one of the facts mentioned by the author is that immigrants (either living in or arriving) to the U.S. are able to reap first class citizenship status and enjoy the fruits and benefits of this country while not having to lift a finger..even with millions of them having fought as COMBATANTS in major WARS AGAINST THE U.S; yet blacks, who have been here since its very beginning, are still seen as 2nd and 3rd class citizens, shut out of the ownership class in this country, and marginalized in every single facet of american society, and have yet receive their just recompense for centuries of abuse, exploitation, and genocide.

Guess its just the "american way"...
