Reconstruction: African American (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781637951057)

The purpose of this work is to draft a broad course that makes the reform of African American society look straight forward. There are complexities in the details, but they are the responsibility of the individuals who carry out the work and not visionaries such as this author. In the African American population there are diverse views concerning what to do, what is important to do and what to do first. This essay is inspired by the belief that African American society has been losing ground in the great competition and must reform in order to survive. Members of the community needs to initiate a series of adjustments among themselves, that can be known and so can be practiced, to become their system of "national salvation". This means changes in the group dynamics, it is not an issue of one or the other individual, black individuals can survive anywhere; USA, Germany, China, Pakistan, etc. but it is widely accepted that a community of their kindred and culture is the best place for them to survive.

Humanity has made great technical and scientific progress but has also made advancements in social affairs. The progress remains impressive, so much so, it overwhelms some people's judgment, they think the millennium has arrived and begin to advocate individualism as the way of life. All such advocates have been carried away and have forgotten that human beings are animals, and most of their achievements are to satisfy their animal drives. When we contrast this with the "spiritual" achievements, we see that those come through deprivation and sacrifice, not the glory of conquering nature, science, or men. This leads us to believe there will be a contradiction in all physical benevolence, from friend or foe.

On achieving a credible movement towards African American reform, there will be naysayers and "Luke-warm" participants. We should waste no energy on them, their beliefs mean they have no direction, no zeal and no hope in themselves. We only need to "keep the faith" and keep the organization intact. They will pass away, and the organization will induct their children.

We cannot, under any circumstances, abandon our own good to others. Rather, all humanity must strive together, towards the good; together.
