Publisher's Synopsis
Many Black people in America have begun regressing from the advances made by their ancestors. A people who once strived to become educated, invested in families and communities, and worked hard to advance in other areas of their lives, have taken an alternate path along the way. This path has distorted the thinking process of many African Americans, leading to the adaptation of negative trends, linked to poor decision making. These unfavorable circumstances have increased the percentages of African Americans suffering from a lack of education, broken homes and communities, high rates of preventable health problems and diseases, and behaviors that display a sense of self hate. This is not to negate or ignore the fact that there are many visible and hidden disparities in America assisting in the dysfunctional state of many African American communities, it is to identify avoidable behaviors and decisions being made by many Black people, causing this rapid rate of regression. These factors have led to the unnatural state of many Black communities in America.
