Damn the Talk; This Book is a Plan of Action!

Over the last 50 years African Americans have heard many speeches, read many books, and attended the marches and protest rallies; however, the descendants of African slaves are as dysfunctional as ever. Our people and our communities are suffering more and more from black-on-black crime, drug abuse, violent gangs, illiteracy, high drop-out rate, low college entry rate, lack of spiritual development and a host of other maladies that contribute to the continued marginalization of the African American.

The Black-print is a book with a bold and comprehensive plan that promises to empower the descendants of African slaves to control their own destiny. This book gets to the heart of the many problems African Americans face; and provides unique and radical solutions to these problems.

The concepts and strategies of the "Black-print" focused towards uplifting African Americans to a level of success that is unprecedented in these United States. The Black-print intends to remove the tarnish and stigma that has been a burden to the descendants of African slaves for hundreds of years. The Black-prints aspires to reveal the beauty, dignity and power of a once great and mighty people.

About the Black-print:

Chapter one is the introduction to the Black-print.

Chapter Two of the Black-print reveals the real driving force behind, and the perpetuation of the enslavement of the African. It also reveals, why to this day, the descendants of African slaves, especially African American males, are systematically disenfranchised.

Chapter Three deals with what I believe are the five major entities or institutions that lay obstacles to our path towards wealth, prosperity and respect. These entities and institutions have always made claims of being our ally; however, the Black-print exposed them for what they truly are; impediments to the progress of African Americans and the communities they live in.

Chapter Four is the actual blueprint. It breaks down each entity or institution and the obstacles it presents. It then proceeds to provide creative and effective solutions for overcoming these destructive forces that prey on the descendants of African slaves.

Chapter Five is a challenge to African Americans to test drive the Black-print and the solutions and strategies it suggest. The Black-print is a massive undertaking. That is why I am suggesting that we test-drive the blueprint in one of the most recognized African Communities in America, Harlem, U.S.A. This chapter offers us an opportunity to set a standard of how any African American community can be revitalized, rejuvenated, united and prosperous.

The reality is: Black men and women will never be respected in America as individuals, until we are respected as a people.

About the Author:
AUTHOR BIOGRAPHY Malik Green is a 52 year old African American, born in Harlem; raised on the Lower East Side of New York City. As a child he loved reading. He was particularly interested in politics, his ethnicity and God. His inherent passion for his African ancestry was evident at a very young age. At the age of 5; which was in 1962, he distinctly remembers African Americans not wanting or liking to be "Black" or "African". He; however, for no specific reason, felt a joy in being "Black" or "African". This was the beginning of his quest to find answers as to why his people were treated the way they were. Why his people didn't seem to appreciate their own heritage and ethnicity. Malik's biological father left him before his first birthday. Malik's first African American role models were Muhammad Ali and Malcolm X. These men epitomized what he always thought African American men can be; independent, strong, intelligent and fearless. These men were the early influences in his life and have lead him on a mission to find the answers to some life's most pressing questions. Malik has a unique perspective on the problems and lack of unity that impedes the progress of African Americans; and especially, African American youth. His perspective comes from his own experiences as an African American growing up in America. He dropped out of school at age 17; and with no where to go, he joined the U.S. Army. After spending 5 years in the military he came back to New York and was introduced to "crack cocaine" After two hellish years of crack addiction; Malik, by the grace of some unbeknownst force was able to free himself from this menacing demon. He has been clean now for over 20 years. Over the last twenty years Malik as been on a mission to make sense of the predicament his people are in. He has studied history, politics, business and religion extensively. Basically, Malik is an erudite; one who has acquired knowledge through books and personal experiences. As you read his book you will quickly see that this man has a lot to offer the African American people and America as a whole.
