As a black person, have you experienced racism in America? Is your default position to blame others? How can we change the way we react when faced with the issues around racism? There is no doubt that racism exists in the USA today. It can be seen almost daily, in major towns or cities up and down the country, and within smaller communities as well. But there is a problem that has appeared. For too long, black people have immediately blamed others for the racism that exists, even while killing one another and allowing the divisions to seem greater than the similarities. In this new book, The Agenda: Wake up black America! Now is your Time, black Americans are urged to change the way they think, and to form a front that is united against the racism that has so long been allowed to define them. There is no more room for excuses. Black Americans have shown that they can be successful and rebuild communities that can thrive and prosper. Now is the time for action!

First and foremost, I understand that history is not for everyone, so please bear with the first section of this book, as I have to explain THE AGENDA before I put it in context so that everything else I have written would make sense to you.
In this book, I use the references “white” and “white men/women” a lot. Please understand that those terms do not describe all white people, as I’m aware that not everyone in America is racist or prejudiced, and not all super-rich white people belong to the elites.
Also note, that I only use the terms “nigger,” “negro,” “African” or “Black American” to represent the eras under consideration. I am one hundred percent black and I already know it does not necessarily give me an automatic pass. So, let’s begin….
The Agenda
1917
East St. Louis Massacre. Woodrow Wilson was the president of this era. As soon as he was sworn into office, he had work to do! East St. Louis was brewing with local matters that would grab national attention. During the great migration of the African Americans from the south to northern states, most black Americans found themselves on a one-way trip to East St. Louis. Back in those days, communication was by word of mouth within the black community.
People of the white middle and lower class were demanding for more wages from their employers. Little did they know that their fellow countrymen did not feel like they owed them a dime. Therefore, in the urgency of white business owners to keep their businesses running, they opened their factories and warehouses to the Negros. Because of this, there were records of as many as 2,000 Negros traveling to East St Louis for work in a week. Before this time, the jobs were mainly occupied by white immigrants and white union workers.
