In the United States the quest for equality has taken on mostly a moral and social nature, but equality is for all intents and purposes a political question. In order to not struggle in vain, it is critical to recognize that one group of individuals cannot be equal to another group of individuals if one group is propped up by a national reality and the other is not. In order for Black People to achieve real equality, the issue of nationhood has to be addressed. WE ARE BLACK PEOPLE! Next Stop... Nationhood brings this essential element to the fore.Black Nationalism is the most sensible and natural solution to racial inequality, but it has been difficult to imagine how to make strides in that direction- but that has to be done. If white people in America have their own country and Black People in America have their own country, a more effective job of eliminating racism could be carried out. White power's efforts to make the ideology of Black Nationalism offensive to Black People's inclinations and thought processes must be neutralized because Black People are more than ready to assume and govern the part of this land mass that is rightfully theirs.

Young Blacks already know that they have been betrayed by "civil rights." DISSECTING INTEGRATION delves into this issue from four fronts, each demonstrating how artificial obstacles prevent people from honestly seeking equality for all. The essay "Not To Be" is a brief comment on the defrauding of white America by America's white leadership, and how white Americans are handicapped as a result. "The Hispanic Factor" looks at the possibility of African-Americans and Hispanic-Americans forming a political bloc as a means of combating white America's racism. "White People Don't Read Black Books" questions the possibility of real integration taking center stage in the United States of America, and "We Changed" reveals the historical process that changed Africans who were shipped to this country as slaves into African-Americans in search of "equality" instead of independence. With so many negatives in play, focusing on integration at the expense of everything else could be risky.

Slavery has damaged its survivors in North, Central and South America and the Caribbean so much that it is impossible to quantify. In the United States, there emerged sets of enslaved individuals that Malcolm X referred to as "field niggers" and "house niggers." Some people think the work they were forced to do was what primarily distinguished field niggers from house niggers, but that is not necessarily the case. What most distinguished the two was their response to being enslaved, their frame of mind, their perception of themselves and their perception of their enslavers. Black Power Economists must take the lead role in making Black People aware of the arsenal of weapons they have access to that can help Black People re-establish their identity as independent economic units and beacons of progress. There is hardly anything more valuable than sovereignty. Sovereignty is the key to economic independence and wealthy Black communities. Someone should have been teaching Black youngsters about sovereignty more than a hundred years ago, but didn't. The white power system had too much to lose by teaching Black People that, so it didn't; but more than a hundred thousand Black teachers and professors failed to do so and steered Black People toward mediocrity and salaries instead of sovereignty and wealth. It's time for Black People to redirect its economic energy, and Black Power Economists must step to the fore and lead the way.
