The African American community has been affected negatively by Left-leaning Progressive, Liberal policies and causes over the past 50 years or so vs prior years when some of their causes were not as bad or maybe even beneficial under some circumstances. This book details how and why that is so and what some different or positive outcomes may have been had there been more Conservative Right-leaning forces to influence America over the past 50 years.

Ever since I was a kid, I have been curious about the world around me, so I used to read about other places, people, and things in the world. I started with a set of encyclopedias that we had at home when I was a kid and was amazed at what and how much actually existed in the world that I didn't know about and know I am seeing what does not make since and what does not add up.
