The Nigger Bible

by Robert H. deCoy

A NON-FICTION AMERICAN CLASSIC

THE NIGGER BIBLE—"written by an acknowledged Nigger about the experience of Niggers, addressed and directed exclusively to my Nigger people for whom it was purposely conceived." Thus does the late internationally acclaimed author Robert H. deCoy introduce this explosive best seller. First published in 1967, THE NIGGER BIBLE is universally accepted as one of the true classics of the literature of the American Black experience. Robert H. deCoy has been praised and damned around the world for this volatile work. In his introduction to this edition, entertainer Dick Gregory calls deCoy "one of the literary giants of our time" who has dared to discard the traditional vestiges of Judeo-Christianity in order to find and reveal the spiritual truths of being Black." THE NIGGER BIBLE has been called "the most important book of our generation… It slashes through hypocrisy to reveal a seething, shocking truth that all men know but none have dared to express."

Reviews

[George Sanders]

A good read alternative for Black people that offsets the fabrications and myths of religious dogma, myths and propaganda hawked by religious zealots.

Its straight forwardness use of the "N" word may offend the timid, yet DeCoy is attempting to not only negate its negative meaning,but reconstruct its possible positiveness.

Using his own parables, short verses and an extraordinary sampling of ideas, deCoy launches his conceptual missles to a distance in the future that has not happened yet.

And thatis when Black people began to to think and will have shedded the husks of white domination off of them.

The book's title will probably offend a lot of potential readers and the content itself is even more offensive. But, if you take if your take the book for what it's trying to convey or at least what I believe it's trying to convey: a tongue in cheek/sarcastic message to African-Americans to think outside the box and not be overcome by racism, oppression, depression or anything else that may hold you back from achieving peace and your dreams.

very provocative book, but it has nothing to do w/long-lost african scripture.
this book confirmed what i have argued many times. the racial epitath "spook" refers to white people.

you gotta have a good sense of humor to read stuff like this.

[Marlon Smith]

This book is a combination of truth, opinion, what is going on behind the scenes, the front and back, and pretty much everything black dealings! The read that is a must for any and everything black...deal with it!
