RBG's State of the Black
(Afrikans in Amerikkka) Masses  These statistics appear in the book, The American Directory of Certified Uncle Toms (Chicago: Lushena, 2002) .
The American Directory of Certified Uncle Toms is a well documented, scholarly, and witty critique of the most stridently "Eurocentric" elements of the black community. The book clearly distinguishes black interests (economic, political, and creative Black self-determination) from the practices of Black Eurocentrists (undermining grassroots black leadership, justifications for white supremacy, artistic portrayals of black pathology for financial gain, and fronting anti-Black agendas with no accountability to Black constituencies). Finally, we have a publication that courageously critiques white-liberalism, black conservatism, elitism in the black upper and middle classes, and an inordinate Zionist influence (the section where Ron Dellums was forced to have a family meeting because he feared a political backlash for not supporting aid to Israel was especially telling). Whether you agree or disagree with all entries (Dubois and Washington both with five stars!), The American Directory of Certified Uncle Toms is an important work.Those who view these devastating facts must question the "civil rights" coalition leadership that led us here. As Blacks, we are responsible for allowing ourselves to be misled and deceived into this sad state of affairs. If you are not engaged in some effort to reverse one or more of these statistics you have sentenced us and yourself to total destruction... Click here to check it out
