That question reminds me of my father talking 50 years ago. He kept asking, "What is wrong with Black people."

I think one problem is that we concentrate on WHITE PEOPLE too much.

Why do White people have so much power? Do you ever think that it is because of technology? What would have happened if Indian's had had AK-47s when Whites showed up. Would their skin color have mattered?

When I started reading sci-fi books my mother called it something crazy. I learned more about science and technology because of those books than i did from my grade school teachers. Too many of us act like education is just getting a degree and it doesn't matter what subject and then go for easy subjects.

Don't expect the White people to give kids good books. They hide important information from each other.

A Fall of Moondust by Arthur C. Clarke

The Moon is a Harsh Mistress by Robert Heinlein

The Gods Themselves by Isaac Asimov

Now how many Black women would not give those to their sons because they are written by White men?

I tried getting a Black woman to read a book by Octavia Butler. She gave it back. Said it was too weird. She even disliked the cover.



Don't you think the Chinese used knowledge they got from White people to build Three Gorges Dam? But no we are too busy getting emotional about stupid palefaces to sort the wheat from the chaff.
