Africans continues losing

Revisado: 07-08-24

This is an eye opening book.

The Chinese are replicating what the European invaders did in Africa. The only difference so far is the absence of continent wide genocide, chattle slavery, forced labor, widespread misinformation, destruction of ancient cultures/theft of ancient cultures.

Like the Europeans, most Chinese seem to be just as racist. It’s not their fault though, Western backed African leaders are the scum that continue to hamper the rise of the continent.

At China is building actual infrastructure, and developing countries like Nigeria, unlike the inherently racist Europeans, whose ideology seeks to keep Africa from developing at all costs.

Howard French is my favorite American Writer on the continent of Africa

BE VERY CAREFUL…

Revisado: 09-11-23

This and ‘story’ by Robert McKee are ok books that will partially help you understand how a screenplay works.

The most important part of this book for me was in chapter 2 when he categorized genres.

The problem with authors and books like these is they are too limiting, always speaking of “rules”, which some of the time are either outright wrong or contradictory.

These American authors are also virtually blind because their idea of what makes a good movie comes from watching only Hollywood movies.

If you are serious about storytelling, please do yourself a favor, watch non Hollywood movies. Countries like South Korea (which currently embodies the zenith of storytelling) and Iran make excellent movies. Hollywood stopped being the standard for great storytelling a long time ago.

Also, ‘Blank check’ (written by the author) was a terrible movie!

Like Fela said,”Look am and use your sense.”

Great History Of Asia. The Mongols helped civilize Europe

Revisado: 07-25-23

This is a very detailed historical book on the impact The Mongols on modernizing/civilizing Asia and Europe.

This book is one of the few books that helps put Europeans and their alleged contributions to Modernity into perspective.

Europe is not the cradle of civilization nor the genesis of human knowledge as we’ve been lied to.

Most people aren’t aware of this because since the ascent of British and American Imperialism, a relentless effort has been made to rewrite history/exaggerate the intelligence/contributions of Europeans and minimize/eliminate the contributions of non Europeans.

The negative reviews on this book are most likely from disillusioned Europeans who’ve been taught that the world revolves around them.

The only reason I gave this book 4 stars is because, like virtually every historical book ever written since the fall of the great African empires, Africa’s massive contributions to world civilization was completely Ignored. Arabia was never at any point the richest civilization in the world. The richest civilization in the history of the world was Mali.

Not only A Detailed Biography but Lessons in World History.

Revisado: 07-01-23

Fidel was probably the world’s most wrongfully vilified leader.America spent God knows how much on Propaganda and misinformation concerning him and his country.

This is an educative and detailed biography on the only figure in recent memory who not only started and finished a great revolution, but improved the lives of his people through that revolution.

This is a must read.

An essential In-depth History of neo colonial Africa

Revisado: 04-08-23

Curious to know the real reasons why Africa is the poster child for war and poverty? Read this book!

The biggest mistake African leaders of the past made was underestimating Europeans.

European greed/envy and African stupidity / short sightedness was the reason for Africa’s downfall.

A Great, detailed history with poor narration.

Revisado: 04-02-23

This is the most detailed book I’ve read on any African Empire. It is incredibly informative.

Unfortunately, the narrator is not so good which I believe is due to the dry writing style of the author.

If you’re seeking detailed knowledge on West African history, this book is for you

This book would be 5 stars if not for the weaknesses I stated above.

A MUST READ Book on World History!!!

Revisado: 11-21-22

If you’re of African descent, this is one of the most important historical books you’ll come across.

Virtually every book narrates world history from the oppressor’s perspective.

For centuries, lies have been told through pseudo scholarly works and mainstream media that so called West Africans have contributed very little (if anything) to world history.

Mr. French’s painstakingly researched work is ground breaking and of great importance. He reveals the essential roles of Africans in birthing the world we know today.

A well Written Biography

Revisado: 09-24-22

David Leeming does an excellent job in chronicling the life of a complex human and artist. I’ve yet to read any of James Baldwin’s work. I came across an interview of him on YouTube and was curious enough to listen to this book.

James Baldwin was a minority within a minority, during the height of Jim crow, yet he was able to accomplish great feats.

Download this book if you want to learn about James Baldwin the artist and human.

A Great Philosopher and a Flawed human being…

Revisado: 08-05-22

As much as it pains most Caucasian Americans and some self hating African Americans, Malcolm X spoke mostly the truth about America.

America is a country founded on racist ideologies; Racism in America isn’t going anywhere.

Malcolm X’s flaw (one he later realized) is that he followed and believed blindly. It’s why the so called “messenger” Muhammad was able to manipulate, deceive and eventually clap him.

Lawrence Fisburne’s voice acting is excellent.
The autobiography of Malcolm X is probably the most important biography of a 20th century American public figure. In an ideal America, it would be a required reading in all higher institutions.
Every African American parent should have their children read Malcolm’s biography.
