description: Too Black was written partly out of frustration and partly because of the lack of confidence the author has in minorities, specifically Blacks, being able to one day respectfully gain their place in this new global structure. It examines various aspects of their lives and begs to answer the Who will lead us to this place when it is so hard to find those people that can restore confidence, credibility, and competence in Blacks as a whole? It is not intended to offend and/or abolish any particular group or race of people; on the contrary, it is written to ask and answer questions that people, regardless of color, have had. Too Black examines what is essentially lost when Blacks lose the art of being flexible and adaptable to various other people and cultures. It opens serious discussions to what is possible when Blacks concentrate on the areas of their lives that they can control, rather than those that they can not. It should help to bridge the gap of uncertainty that exists mostly between Whites and Blacks, since neither side really knows what is acceptable and what is politically correct. Too Black hopefully will also offer a deeper understanding of the values, both economic and social, derived from having more knowledge, capabilities, and flexibilities in sustained stable relationships with other people and cultures different from your own. I pray that my readers, regardless of their color, will read this book and learn what it is that allow others, and even ourselves, the opportunity to not be seen in a favorable light. We must be able to find what the real problems are, face up to those problems and have the strength and courage to fix them. Nothing in life is easy and yet nothing gets done without all of us...taking the first step. This book is just that-a genuine, hard-hitting book on those areas of our lives that have not yet allowed us the right to be considered Americans first, and Blacks secondly. It is also a wake-up call to those Blacks who know that the message is clear and still find excuses to not adhere to the message, but the outcome as well. We can no longer afford to be seen as...Too Black.
