Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: May 26, 2020, is a date that no one will ever forget. That day, we all saw the terrible death of George Floyd on social media. Sitting at the computer in his New York apartment, opera singer, producer, and author David Serero witnessed this horrific video, which went viral and made headlines on every news channel. Never had he ever seen a man agonizing and begging for his life under the knee of a Police officer in the United States of America, and thus in the 21st century. He was outraged and sad. This behavior was unacceptable, indeed criminal, and righteously prosecuted as such. As a Jew, it immediately reminded him of photos of Nazis who proudly killed Jews during the Holocaust. Although he didn't know yet the details of Floyd's arrest, he knew it was not right. Following George Floyd's tragic death, David Serero witnessed a series of events that he wanted to collect all within the same book, in the form of a Diary, to understand how the event led to another. He hopes that future generations will understand the escalation that led from an obvious crime to a protest, then to an American revolution, to hopefully a change for the better in a country still struggling with racism. During the unprecedented time of the quarantine and lockdown, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and while strict rules of self-distancing were applied, thousands of Americans took to the streets to protest police brutality and support the Black Lives Matter movement. Some protesters were peaceful, others very violent, creating chaos, which ultimately required the presence of the National Guard and a curfew. For 8 minutes and 46 seconds, George Floyd struggled for his life and mentioned his sadly known I Can't Breathe...Mama.... David Serero's fact-based-only Diary, covered the events day by day from the tragic death of George Floyd to the protests, also the looting and burning of businesses, the curfews, demolishing statues, burning the American Flag, reporters being rioted, Police officers being attacked while others showed their support by putting a knee down for George Floyd, and the Black Lives Matter movement. While some protesters showed their support for the police authorities, others provoked and attacked them. This prompted authorities to even request to 'defund the Police' and passing new bills in order to have officers liable for their actions, while...innocents civilians were brutally shot during the deadly weekend of Independence Day in several cities of America and thus by other civilians.After reading this Dairy, you will find the 100 Questions that he calls ILLOGICAL. Illogical as the tragic death of George Floyd and other events. Illogical because we have the solutions in our hands, but no one wishes to use them. Illogical because these questions shouldn't be asked since we modestly think that we have learned the lessons of our history, and therefore, had already solved this matter. He decided to call them The ILLOGICAL 100 and hopes that it will open a healthy dialogue and reflection for everyone to debate in the most peaceful manner. David Serero is on the side of all Americans; it does not make any difference with anyone's ethnicity, religions, sexual orientations, or political views, though he likes to refer to a culture that defines us and is made to be shared and preserved. He often likes to say: Culture is what is left, once we have forgotten and lost everything. He was in the right position, as an Immigrant and observer, to witness a country sadly (still) struggling with race in the 21st century, at the time where History and education are so much available on the internet.Diary of The Events + The 'Illogical 100'

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A challenge to the doctrine of biblical inerrancy that calls into question how Christians are taught more about the way of Whiteness than the way of Jesus Angela Parker wasn’t just trained to be a biblical scholar; she was trained to be a White male biblical scholar. She is neither White nor male. Dr. Parker’s experience of being taught to forsake her embodied identity in order to contort herself into the stifling construct of Whiteness is common among American Christians, regardless of their race, ethnicity, gender, or sexual orientation. This book calls the power structure behind this experience what it is: White supremacist authoritarianism. Drawing from her perspective as a Womanist New Testament scholar, Dr. Parker describes how she learned to deconstruct one of White Christianity’s most pernicious lies: the conflation of biblical authority with the doctrines of inerrancy and infallibility. As Dr. Parker shows, these doctrines are less about the text of the Bible itself and more about the arbiters of its interpretation—historically, White males in positions of power who have used Scripture to justify control over marginalized groups. This oppressive use of the Bible has been suffocating. To learn to breathe again, Dr. Parker says, we must “let God breathe in us.” We must read the Bible as authoritative, but not authoritarian. We must become conscious of the particularity of our identities, as we also become conscious of the particular identities of the biblical authors from whom we draw inspiration. And we must trust and remember that as long as God still breathes, we can too.

Book excerpt: You Are About To Discover The Dark, Frustrating And Uncertain Life That Black People In America Live That Will Make You To Understand Why Millions Of Americans Have Been On The Streets Across The Different States Protesting That Black Lives Matter! Names are always being published every day of recent victims of racism in the country, and more people are emerging from the shadows to speak out their horrifying experiences under the hands of white supremacists and indoctrinated police officers. And no, it didn't start with the death of George Floyd or the 25-year old Ahmaud Arbery who was maimed while jogging through Glynn County, Ga. Throughout history, blacks have been living their lives like victims, dodging physical and emotional bullets and this book will explain to you how and why. Living in America as a black is indeed different from what most people around the world think. It's hardly the land of opportunity or the land of the free, nor is it the land of the brave -and in a minute, you're going to see what I mean. So if you've been asking yourself: What does the typical life of a black in America look like? How are they discriminated exactly? What's the historical background of racism in America? Does it mean the Jim Crow laws still persist? Are politics shaped to favor racism? ...then this book will answer all these questions comprehensively to give you an accurate account of life in the United States that most people (including those living in this country) aren't familiar with. More precisely, you'll learn: How it is living in America as a black person, including chilling stories that will make you wonder why some things should be happening in 2020 and beyond How being black affects your job, leisure activities and shopping, told in a way that will spur in you positive rage to want to champion for change How blacks die in America, including the sad story of George Floyd Whether or not black lives matter The history of the discrimination of blacks, from the time the first black people came to America, through the independence years and to-date to show you just how nothing has changed How racism works and why it is so engrained in American culture, systems, laws and society in general How blacks have been creatively set up by the laws of the land and condemned to a life of discrimination in a way that the situation is saddeningly helpless The effects of systematic racism on black lives How to fight racism - what you can do to improve the situation and make America the land of the free and brave that we all tell the world it is when it is not Politics and systemic racism, including why no single leader can change everything overnight and what can be done to fast track changes ...And much more! Indeed, fear, anger and hopelessness are some of the expressions that have become the default physiognomy of an average black in America, the same way protests in the U.S. against systemic racism and police brutality against the blacks are becoming a normal occurrence and a way of life. Even if you think you've heard countless racist stories, this book's level of detail will help you understand the deep rot in the system and American culture that may take years to end.

Book excerpt: THE TRUTH ABOUT THE BLACK LIVES MATTER MARTYRS “This book is essential. Don’t miss it.” —MARK LEVIN “A brilliant examination of the actual facts of the George Floyd case and the subsequent exploitation of his death by Black Lives Matter.” —LEO TERRELL, civil rights attorney & commentator In his latest salvo in the battle for America’s survival, David Horowitz exposes the racial hoax that is spawning riots and dividing the nation. Examining the twenty-six most notorious cases of police “racism”— from Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown to George Floyd and Breonna Taylor—Horowitz demonstrates that Black Lives Matter has lied about every one of them in its quest to undermine law and order, fuel race hatred, and destroy America. In case after case, the lies and mythmaking break down under Horowitz’s scrutiny. Even the chief prosecutor in the George Floyd case was forced to admit that he had no evidence of racial bias, while Breonna Taylor, the longtime accomplice of a major drug dealer, was killed when she and her boyfriend resisted arrest. The unchallenged myths about racist murders by the police have brought mayhem and crime to our cities, where the victims are predominantly black. They are also a slander against the United States, the least racist country in history, and against black Americans, the vast majority of whom are successful and law-abiding citizens. Now the Biden administration has embraced the false narrative of “systemic racism” and “white supremacy,” which supposedly infect every aspect of American life, using it to justify a witch hunt for “domestic terrorists.” Most Americans, black and white, know in their bones that this portrayal of their country is a lie. An unflinching and courageous accounting, I Can’t Breathe is the urgently needed proof that they are right.

Book excerpt: A Finalist for the PEN/Diamonstein-Spielvogel Award for the Art of the Essay Insightful and searing essays that celebrate the vibrancy and strength of black history and culture in America by critically acclaimed writer Jabari Asim In We Can’t Breathe, Jabari Asim disrupts what Toni Morrison has exposed as the “Master Narrative” and replaces it with a story of black survival and persistence through art and community in the face of centuries of racism. In eight wide-ranging and penetrating essays, he explores such topics as the twisted legacy of jokes and falsehoods in black life; the importance of black fathers and community; the significance of black writers and stories; and the beauty and pain of the black body. What emerges is a rich portrait of a community and culture that has resisted, survived, and flourished despite centuries of racism, violence, and trauma. These thought-provoking essays present a different side of American history, one that doesn’t depend on a narrative steeped in oppression but rather reveals black voices telling their own stories.

Download or read book Black Lives Matter written by Scott Campbell and published by . This book was released on 2020-11-10 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In June of 2020, more people searched the internet for "Black Lives Matter" than for "Trump."The tragic death of Black ex-convict George Floyd on May 25, 2020, at the hands of four policemen immediately triggered protests not only in cities across the United States but also in 60 other countries. It was almost as if the Floyd death had been planned. Was Derek Chauvin, the White policeman who put his knee on Floyd's neck for over eight minutes, a hitman? What about his new $100,000 BMW and hundreds of thousands in undisclosed income? Was it the unfortunate death of a convicted felon and heavy drug-user, or was it a professionally organized anti-Trump network just waiting to launch a street revolution?Chauvin dismissed Floyd's utterances of "I can't breathe," which were clearly audible to multiple people passing by with cell-phone cameras. This seemed a bit strange for a policeman's behavior in the year 2020, given Eric Garner's "I can't breathe" was one of the major rallying cries of Black activists for police racism and brutality. It seemed Chauvin was comfortable with risking his job.Although there were 13 or fewer unarmed deaths of Black men at the hands of White policemen in 2019, roars of "systemic police racism" and "institutional racism" shook the world, and looting riots plundered thousands of businesses and caused billions in damages and losses.Nearly the entire United States White population had been labeled "racist" once again by the Left, just in time to affect the June primaries and November elections. Trump's ratings plunged against Joe Biden even though Biden was hands down the confirmed racist and bigot of the two candidates. A rogue policeman's heinous act is the President's fault? Biden told one supporter that if he didn't vote for him, he was not "Black," making a racist statement that Blacks must vote Democrat because they are Black.Black Lives Matter (BLM) and Antifa led a charge to capture six blocks of downtown Seattle to create an "Autonomous Zone" with border walls and security. Then they made their demands, similar to the ones that radical socialist AOC makes when she talks in her sleep. These demands also matched up with those from the Black Panther and Black Liberation Army from decades ago and hinted at BLM's true origins.This book reveals BLM's dark truth, a feminist group whose idol and role model is Assata Shakur, a female felon, a convicted cop-killer, ex-Black Panther, and forty-year fugitive. It reveals how BLM was formed, the founders being recruited as mere puppets for larger, experienced anti-American and Black activist power groups.One of these groups is FRSO or the Freedom Railroad Socialists Organization, which has Communist Chinese roots and those from Vietnam and Cuba when the New Communist Movement hit America.Black Lives Matters' short term goal, like Antifa, is to oust Trump, and their long-term goal is to overthrow the US government.Both are goon squads for higher-ups like George Soros and other globalist representatives.Included is a close look at the history of supremacist Black power movements, including the Black Panthers. Plotting to kill Whites, Jews, and police of all races, and overthrow the US government through war is nothing new for them.This book also details the history of the ideology that underlies both BLM and Antifa, communism, and in particular, Marxism. Communism can be viewed as a form of Satanism in that results are achieved by continuous destruction, much like Satan continuously tried to destroy God. These were the thoughts and inclinations of Adam Weishaupt and Karl Marx, who are the two authors considered the early founders of communist theory.

Book excerpt: The best-selling look at how American cities can promote racial equity, end redlining, and reverse the damaging health- and wealth-related effects of segregation. Winner of the IPPY Book Award Current Events II by the Independent Publisher The world gasped in April 2015 as Baltimore erupted and Black Lives Matter activists, incensed by Freddie Gray's brutal death in police custody, shut down highways and marched on city streets. In The Black Butterfly—a reference to the fact that Baltimore's majority-Black population spreads out like a butterfly's wings on both sides of the coveted strip of real estate running down the center of the city—Lawrence T. Brown reveals that ongoing historical trauma caused by a combination of policies, practices, systems, and budgets is at the root of uprisings and crises in hypersegregated cities around the country. Putting Baltimore under a microscope, Brown looks closely at the causes of segregation, many of which exist in current legislation and regulatory policy despite the common belief that overtly racist policies are a thing of the past. Drawing on social science research, policy analysis, and archival materials, Brown reveals the long history of racial segregation's impact on health, from toxic pollution to police brutality. Beginning with an analysis of the current political moment, Brown delves into how Baltimore's history influenced actions in sister cities such as St. Louis and Cleveland, as well as Baltimore's adoption of increasingly oppressive techniques from cities such as Chicago. But there is reason to hope. Throughout the book, Brown offers a clear five-step plan for activists, nonprofits, and public officials to achieve racial equity. Not content to simply describe and decry urban problems, Brown offers up a wide range of innovative solutions to help heal and restore redlined Black neighborhoods, including municipal reparations. Persuasively arguing that, since urban apartheid was intentionally erected, it can be intentionally dismantled, The Black Butterfly demonstrates that America cannot reflect that Black lives matter until we see how Black neighborhoods matter.

Book excerpt: Trayvon Martin’s parents take readers beyond the news cycle with an account only they could give: the intimate story of a tragically foreshortened life and the rise of a movement. “A reminder—not only of Trayvon’s life and death but of the vulnerability of black lives in a country that still needs to be reminded they matter.”—USA Today Now a docuseries on the Paramount Network produced by Shawn Carter Years after his tragic death, Trayvon Martin’s name is still evoked every day. He has become a symbol of social justice activism, as has his hauntingly familiar image: the photo of a child still in the process of becoming a young man, wearing a hoodie and gazing silently at the camera. But who was Trayvon Martin, before he became, in death, an icon? And how did one black child’s death on a dark, rainy street in a small Florida town become the match that lit a civil rights crusade? Rest in Power, told through the compelling alternating narratives of his parents, Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin, answers those questions from the most intimate of sources. The book takes us beyond the news cycle and familiar images to give the account that only his parents can offer: the story of the beautiful and complex child they lost, the cruel unresponsiveness of the police and the hostility of the legal system, and an inspiring journey from grief and pain to power, and from tragedy and senselessness to purpose.
