Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I Am Black But Comely" investigates the contributions of Black people in Scripture and it is absolutely exciting. This book looks from Genesis to Revelation on the presence of black people in Scripture, God's black messengers in Scripture, puts to silence the false teachings on the supposed "Curse of Ham", looks at racism, looks at the original color of man, the color of God, and the color that God's people will be for the ages to come. We are a new species now, old things are passed away and all things become new. The heart of this book is to give honor where honor is due in the great contributions of black people in God's great plan of redemption, expose any hidden racism in all of our hearts, and give us the correct vision to see each other as God sees us as we prepare ourselves for the ages to come and as we, being one people, eagerly wait to be changed into our glorified bodies!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Time is the great equalizer. No person, race, culture, or nation stands beyond its reach or can alter its inevitable progress. Timelines, lists of events in chronological order as they happened, allow us to understand the historical past as the evolution of events and eras. In the case of African American history, which has often been subject to blatant and subtle distortion, a timeline can both set the record straight, and expand our knowledge in new and exciting ways. America I AM Black Facts, a companion volume to the four-year touring museum exhibition, America I AM: The African American Imprint created by Tavis Smiley, offers an introduction to the rich, complex, tragic, and triumphal history of the forty million people of African descent over five centuries in what is now the United States. This fascinating volume features six timelines that chronicle the indelible imprint African Americans have made on the life, history, and culture of the United States and the world.

Book excerpt: We are in Northern Virginia during the late 1960’s and early 1970’s. In some areas races are still divided by a street. Blacks on one side, whites are on the other. Not all schools are integrated. Of course there are those who insist on change. Now imagine a young man is thrown from a cliff side, screaming until he lands on the rocks below. He is later beaten until he’s unconscious, covered with leaves and left for dead. NOW IMAGINE THAT HE’S WHITE!!! Follow Ronald Trent Robey on his journey to answer the question, Am I Black? Ronnie learns so much about discrimination, and the differences between whites and blacks. He faced many pitfalls, but never gave up, and in the end he made a tremendous impact on everyone who let him into their lives. Heartfelt and inspiring, author Greg Robinson delivers a touching look into race relations, and reminds us the great value of every person regardless of the things that divide us.

Download or read book I Am the New Black written by Tracy Morgan and published by Random House. This book was released on 2009-10-20 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The outrageously funny, heartbreaking, and surprising story of Tracy Morgan's rise from ghetto wiseass to superstar comedian. Who is Tracy Morgan? The wildly unpredictable funnyman who rocketed to fame on Saturday Night Live? The Emmy-nominated actor behind the sly and ingenious character Tracy Jordan on the award-winning hit sitcom 30 Rock, whose turbulent personal life often mirrors that of his fictional alter ego? Is he Chico Divine, the life of the party–any party, anytime, anywhere–getting ladies pregnant everywhere he goes? Or is he a soulful, tender family man who emerged from a hardscrabble ghetto upbringing and, against all odds, achieved superstardom, raised a solid family, prevailed over a collection of lethal bad habits, and is still ascending new heights and coming into his own? The answer is: Tracy Morgan is all that. And a bag of potato chips with a 50¢ soda. When he was just a boy living in the Tompkins Projects in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn, being funny was about survival. With the right snap, Tracy could shut down the playground bullies who picked on him and his physically disabled older brother. And with a wild enough prank, he could exact revenge on whoever stole his Pumas at the community pool. Later, being funny was about escape–from the untouchable sadness of his father's death, from the desperation of the drug dealer's trade, from the life-and-death battles waged on the streets of the South Bronx in the age of crack. But these days being funny is about living his dream–a dream born in the comedy clubs of Harlem and realized on shows like Martin and Saturday Night Live, where he was a cast member for seven years, and in movies like The Longest Yard and Half-Baked. With brutal honesty and his trademark take-no-prisoners humor, Tracy tells the story of his rise to fame, with all its highs and its many lows–from the very public battles with alcohol and diabetes that threatened both his career and his life to the private and poignant end of his twenty-year marriage. In his singularly warped and brilliant way he muses on family, love, sex, race, politics, ambition, and what it takes to bring the funny. Hilarious, inspiring, searing, and touching, I Am the New Black is a fascinating peek inside the minds of one of the most compelling and defining comedians of our time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most creative moments of African American culture have always emanated from a lower class or "ghetto" perspective. In contemporary society, this ghetto aesthetic has informed a large segment of the popular marketplace from the incendiary nature of gangsta rap, through the choreographed violence of films like Menace II Society, to recurrent debates around the use of the word "nigga," and even the assertion of this perspective in professional basketball. In each case, most of the discussion around these cultural circumstances tends to be dismissive, if not completely uninformed. In analyzing the ranges of images from the O. J. Simpson trial to Snoop Doggy Dogg, Am I Black Enough for You looks at the way in which the nuances of ghetto life get translated into the politics of popular culture, and especially the way these politics have become such a profitable venture, for both the entertainment industry and the actual producers of these topical narratives. The book follows the widening generation gap represented by Bill Cosby's pristine "race man" image in the mid-80's, culminating in the proliferation of the hard-core sentiments associated with the nigga in the 1990's. The book argues for a historical understanding of these contemporary examples, which is rooted in the social policies of the Reagan/Bush era, the declining industrial base of urban communities and the increasing significance of the drug trade and gang culture. In addition, the book follows the evolution of gangster culture in twentieth century American popular culture and the shift from ethnicity to race that slowly begins to emerge over this time period. Contrary to mainstream conservative sentiment, Am I Black Enough for You suggests that the criticism of gangsta culture is a misguided attempt which reaffirms traditional views about Black culture. This criticism is articulated across race, so that in many cases, African Americans articulate the same sentiments as their white conservative counterparts. Am I Black Enough for You offers astute analysis of the liberating possibilities of representation that lie at the core of contemporary black popular culture.

Book excerpt: There are several books already written about the bitter-sweet history of Tulsa's famed Black Wall Street. Doni Glover, author of Unapologetically Black, looks at the story behind the story. How did those Black people first get to Oklahoma? Who and what led them there? As Glover peels back the layers, the reader finds that Black Wall Street was birthed out of a 500-year continuum of freedom colonies.In I Am Black Wall Street, Glover counters mainstream thought with a book highlighting some little-known slave insurrections across the Western Hemisphere and their leaders, all the way to La Florida. That's where Black Seminole Chief John Horse emerges as a gallant leader to Oklahoma and beyond. Also, abolitionist John Brown and Exoduster leader "Pap" Singleton are recognized for their roles in making Kansas a popular destination for Blacks fleeing the horrors of the Deep South.This book is sure to enlighten the reader to some important yet lesser-known history that is hidden right before our very eyes. I Am Black Wall Street will also inspire this new generation of entrepreneurs by assuring them that they stand on the shoulders of certified giants.
