Eye always look forward to reading the brilliant thoughts of Dr. Claud. He speaks up and sas what needs to be said in plain english. Eye've always admired his scholarship and respect him as a human being.
Dr. Claud Anderson, author of "Powernomics" spits out the truth faster and straighter than any amphibian can catch food in midair. Though published in 2001 (eg. 13 years ago) --his words will continue to resonate with clarity until we figure it out or die trying.

- It doesn't help that we have no significant "inner" unity based upon how we disrespect and abuse (eg. verbally, physically) one another.
- Nor does it help that we face "structurally hidden" racism every single day that we live and breath in AmeriKKKa.
- Let's not forget that centipede known as integration that now makes segregation look like a play toy by comparison.
- Least we forget those in our group who work day and night to make sure no significant changes or growth (eg. Boule', Black Conservatives, All run-of-the meal Sambos) take place.
- Calcified religious sentiments that stagnate --hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, annually decade after decade and are the core problem of our collective existence --a paradigm that is way outta control.
