![]() ![]() ![]() Blacks are imprisoned for using crack cocaine while whites sniffing powder cocaine stay free. ![]() ![]() US policy, says Robinson, blithely destroys Caribbean economies at the behest of Chiquita Brands and demands that the IMF impoverish African nations. White journalists are blind to what blacks see clearly. Still, despite their contributions, blacks continue to be abused and insulted. Like Shakespeare’s Moor, they too have been of service to the state, from chopping cotton to helping build the Capitol. African-Americans are history’s orphans, deprived of what is rightfully theirs: a proud and vital heritage. Zipporah, wife of Moses, was black, too, claims Robinson. (Little is said about Muslim influence or black participation in the evil trade.) That the ancient Egyptians were Africans as dark as any others is a given. With the angry fervor of a street preacher and the artful rhetoric of a talented polemicist, Robinson’s impassioned brief offers a sampling of little-known black history and the somewhat better-known story of slavery perpetrated by profiteering whites. Robinson (Defending the Spirit, 1998), influential chief of the lobbying group TransAfrica, presents the long overdue bill, on behalf of America’s blacks, for centuries of social and economic abuse. ![]()
