There is, in America, an intangible university of sorts, invisible, self-propagated, and silently teaching Black Americans to disrespect and look down on their own racial kinsmen. This mis-educational institution is built on a foundation of demonstrably false ideas, long lingering myths, and hateful half-truths that have, over the years, legitimized themselves in our minds and decimated our power to effectively respond to our own problems, and, do for the world what we did at the dawn of civilization. All Black Americans enroll in the “schools” that make up this university, but, lucky for us, some enrollees fail to learn their anti-black lessons or master their confidence-killing teachings. I say with more sorrow than I flunked Sambo University.
I have decided to read this book because I had suffered from low self esteem and a lack of self after losing my job and dealing with people, especially with African Americans with the mindset described by the author and also from White People. Reading this book has helped me to regain my sense of worth and respect of self. Everything the author has mentioned is right on target. To combat racist propaganda even in the age of Trump, this book is highly recommended.
It was interesting to understand the main challenge for African Americans is not the lies and misleading information people have internalized but a spiritual awakening to the truth.
