Book Description
What therefore, is the incentive to create poor people and legislate a means to keep them down? Did I hear you say capitalism? You are right. The status quo must be maintained. Some may not see hypocrisy in this. But, let us think about this rationally. If non-blacks were to empathize (for lack of a better word) with white folks, what will be a reason to discriminate against others and institutionalize racism? Let’s look at a few angles. 1.Hatred? Hatred or hate is a deep emotional and extreme dislike. Such hatred can be directed against certain individuals or groups. To say hatred is the reason to keep non-whites poor will be far-fetched. Even when non-whites were slaves, they had cherished values of—live and let live. Disdain? May be, but definitely, not hatred. 2.Fear? Fear is a phobia. Phobia is the extreme aversion embedded deep in our psyches, activated when we come face-to-face with that which we fear. Some people—mostly non blacks—are afraid of black people. Is it a fear based on facts or a belief that the black man is inherently bad or is it a fear of repercussion emanating from what our grandfathers did to the black man? This angle is worth pursuing but then, it is just a very lethal phobia. 3.Greed? This is more like it. Greed is good for those at the top. Greed is good for the few landowners represented by corporations now. The rich have a need to create an imaginary enemy. They do not want to be seen as the enemy just like the corporations don’t want you to know that they manage the world’s resources for a select few. They hand out some minute resources, here and there to the operators/managers of the corporations, who are the middle class. Thus, the middle class thinks they are buddy-buddy with the landowners. The landowners must provide an incentive so as to maintain a grip at their corporations, so the design is to make the middle class believe that the lower class is at that level because they are lazy and seeking handouts. Were black people lazy during slavery? Did black folks seek handouts during slavery? Of course, they received handouts in shapes of chit lings, pig feet and cow feet. How all of a sudden, blacks became lazy, as soon as slavery was “over”. Can you begin to see the design now? 4.By design? It is a design in plain sight. Many people cannot see it. Those who see it, are incapable to do anything about it because by design, the whole plot has been legislated into law. Just like apartheid, the various governments and departments at many levels justified the discrimination, through laws the oppressed cannot surmount. It was so then and it is so today with little or no legislative modification in sight. Have you ever imagined why the 44th president of United States is having so much problems with the Congress? You think the Congress populated by mostly old white men are giving the black president a tough time because of race? Or, you think they hate the first black president of the union? If you answered yes to any of these questions you are yet to understand the workings of a country, some have christened “God’s own Country”. The fear of a black president undoing four hundred years of discriminative laws, the phobia of taking down the protections of the rich landowners and the enforcers of that protection led to a section of a congress to proclaim from day 1 of the black president’s inauguration: “if Obama wants it, we reject it right off the bat.” This simply means, an opposition to President Obama’s policies on all fronts. Some were not hiding their enthusiasm for an Obama failure, they worked for it. They feared an Obama presidency that might implement programs that would invite non-whites to participate thus engaging in capitalism. Slogans like “take our country back” were dusted up for re-use. It was strategic. They were all noises meant to drown some of Obama’s signature programs like the affordable care act, popularly known as Obamacare. It has always been by design.

Book Description
Written in 1928, The Set-Up is a long narrative poem about the boxing underworld - a hard-boiled tragedy told in syncopated rhyming couplets. When the work was first published it made the bestseller list, and in 1949 it was turned into an award-winning film featuring Robert Ryan and Audrey Totter. This reprinting of the original, unchanged 1928 poem features dynamic, specially commissioned artwork by Erik Kriek that vividly conveys the story of Pansy, an up-and-coming black prize fighter who takes on all comers. When he was in the ring, "It was over before you knew it. He'd carve you up like a leg of mutton. And drop you flat with a sock on the button." Pansy's complicated love life leads to a spell in prison and his career subsequently takes a nosedive; but he continues to box until the fateful night his fight managers and opponent triple-cross him and he meets a grisly end at the hands of a vengeful gang.

This book is an examination of cultural resistance to segregation in the world of black baseball through an analysis of editorial art, folktales, nicknames, “manhood” and the art of clowning. African Americans worked to dismantle Jim Crow through the creation of a cultural counter-narrative that centered on baseball and the Negro Leagues that celebrated black achievement and that highlighted the contradictions and fallacies of white supremacy in the first half of the twentieth century.
