Book Cover & Preview Text
INTRODUCTION
The reason for my writing of a book of this magnitude is to procure Black Americans to take a self-moral inventory of themselves. This is an open book for not only the Black Race, however I’d like to invite other Races to understand the demeanor of my own people. As a Black Man I have a responsibility to Black America to do my part in order to stop any farther regression of my people. I truly believe that GOD holds each of us accountable for our deeds toward one another. Jesus said, “I am giving a new commandment to you now, love each other just as much as I love you. (John 13:34)
I have no intentions of demeaning my people in any form nor fashion. However I must tell the whole truth in hope of shedding light upon our self applied downfalls. We must pull together as a determine race of people, and stop pointing our fingers toward the White Man, nor any other race. It’s time for Black America to accept responsibility for our own undoing. Either we are part of the solution or we are part of the problem. There is no other way to approach the demeanor of our self-inflected problems within the Black Race.
If Black American keeps doing what we are doing, then Black Americans will always have the problems we have within our race. We must change our black way of thinking. We must change our entire approach to racism, and use that energy toward the recovery from the regression of our people, in order to regain control of our youth. We have lost at least 35% of 3 generations of Black youth, and that’s being conservative.
I pray that Black America will wake up, and realize just where we are going wrong. I can only hope that I can help my people understand that each of us must stand accountable for not only each other, but also for the way we raise our children. There is still time for progress within Black America; however we must act together as one people in order to regain the respect in which we once owned as a hard working class of people.
Black people were the only race that did not come to this country under their own free will. We were brought here on slave ships in chains. We were put to work in fields with no wages, and we were beaten and abused. I realize that it was wrong to treat us in such a brutal manner, however that gives us more the reason to overcome ourselves. It’s time to take our place among other Races, and show the rest of the world that we are to be contend with as a successful people. It all starts with YOU today and YOU will make a difference in OUR Race tomorrow!

About the Book
Black Americans are limiting every effort so-called Black leaders are making toward a better
While we make up only 12 percent of the population of this nation, we are directly responsible for the murder of 95 percent of Black murdered victims in this country.
There is a reason to be mindful of racism, but not to the point of not realizing our own dreams. Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. had a dream that one day Black people would achieve just as much as Whites in this country. We have got to realize that Dr. King’s dream is very possible, only if we work together toward solutions to not only stop Black on Black crime, but Black children dropping out of school.
About the Author
David Glen Bowman was born the middle child of nine children. He was not by any means the smartest, but was the most depended on by the others in times of crisis.
He was a child full of hopes and dreams, only to learn that being Black would make it harder for him. At 40 years of age he realized that harder didn’t mean impossible. He had to make a change within himself. He had to stop his Black way of thinking and stop blaming white people for his mis-opportunities.
There’s just too many Blacks living the American dream for him to believe that being Black means being poor in this country. He has learned simply that being Black is not an excuse anymore, but a reason to work harder than everyone else.
