About the Book
In The Real-Holocaust—a title adapted from the well-known phrase “the real McCoy”—the basic premise of the author is that Americans have underestimated the damage inflicted upon the nation, especially African people, since the beginning with the European-Arab slave trade in 1441, and continuing to the present era. Simultaneously, we have underestimated the level of commitment required, in both financial and human resources, to solve our perennial, often ugly “race” problem that has created “a great racial divide” in America. Accordingly, the author documents a “guesstimated” 300 million deaths of African people during this nearly 500-year period of history, a figure that may be contrasted to the well known and much better publicized holocaust of World War II, the latter a major tragic event, involving deaths of a “guesstimated” six million Jews.
