Diary of an
angry black
man
showcases the ill-treatment of minorities in the US. Written by a black American author, it addresses white privilege and racism.
An insightful raw and unvarnished look inside the life experiences of an apoplectic man of color in America as he struggles with his rage, and disillusionment following the brutal slaying of George Floyd. This book takes you the reader along as he unapologetically confronts the subject of racial discrimination, and white supremacy and how they insidiously influence and continue to inform the treatment of minorities in present-day America.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
I was born in Haiti, W.I., and grew up in Jamaica Queens New York. I am an extremely private person who would not have written this book on systemic racism, if not for the killing of George Floyd. His murder was the tipping point along a long line of brutal slayings of people that looked like me by the police. I originally put pen to paper because I needed a way to cope with my inability as a father to comfort and console my youngest child, but I was quickly forced to confront my own disillusionment and rage in the wake of the George Floyd killing as a black American author. This book on George Floyd seeks justice for the departed soul. After all, how do I convince myself let alone my family that good works, ethics, educational, moral, or financial standing would or could overcome centuries of oppression when it is violently apparent the promise of freedom, justice and equality was all a lie?

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Although entitled Diary of an Angry Black Man, this book is filled with provocative, thought-provoking, and gut-wrenching, emotional insights on the subject of racism in America. Here’s what you’ll find inside the book on the treatment of minorities in the USA. I was born in Haiti, W.I., and grew up in Jamaica Queens New York.

NORMALIZATION OF SLAVERY
When confronted with the subject of racism in America, some quickly allude to slavery’s global and historical precedents as if the fact somehow mitigates or absolves America of its original sin. We claim to have abolished slavery when at the same time, slavery visa vie the penal system remains one of the most profitable and viable institutions in America. Why else would Blacks be incarcerated at five times the rate of Whites for the same offense? How can we continue to call other nation-states to account for their human rights violations without calling into account our own?

INSTITUTIONAL RACISM
People normally gravitate towards those who resemble themselves or share similar tastes, lifestyles, and cultures. Nothing wrong with that, except when others utilize those preferences to disenfranchise or marginalize others. This book cites other resources as well as his own personal experience to elucidate how institutional racism has historically exploited our dissimilarities to the advantage of one race over another.
RACISM IN THE WORLD’S GREATEST COUNTRY
America is a country plagued by its dichotomy. For many ‘America is the shining city upon a hill” that Ronald Regan envisioned it to be. What Regan failed to mention is that there exist two cities in one, but this book on the history of racism in America mentions everything about the treatment of minorities in the country. One is the beacon that the rest of the world gravitates to, and rightfully so — the book refers to this as white privilege in the US. The other is Gotham, the city of blight; unseen and unknown. To be White in America is to bathe in that light. To be Black in America is to suffer in darkness and desperation — Diary of an Angry Black Man is the book to read on racism and racial injustice in the US. “To be black and conscious in America is to be in a constant state of rage.” – James Baldwin. That rage is predicated upon over four hundred years of genocide, slavery, Jim Crow, oppression, and civil rights abuse and a promise unkept — this book about the history of racism in America probably mentions only a half of it. America cannot miraculously dispel centuries of bigotry, bias, and oppression as if millions of souls were not secreted away, made to suffer in bondage, brutalized, and bastardized for the sin of being black or other in America.
The word “Nigger” is the most significant and durable racial epithet in the American lexicon that says all there is about the treatment of minorities in the US. It is the branding of a race as inferior, useless, and untrustworthy to promote a White Supremacist ideal. As a black American author on racism, I believe this is an idea that will not die, until we reconcile its place in American history.
