Synopsis

The Hypocrisy Of Democracy: How The American Dream Became The African American Nightmare, is an unapologetic view of what American democracy is through the eyes of black people. In this book, the author goes into great depth about the true identity of black Americans and their oppression, before, during, and after the Transatlantic Slave Trade. He explains how America purposefully made so called “African-Americans” into a nation of consumers rather than producers in various ways. For instance, instead of reparations and restitutions for chattel slavery, black Americans were giving “Black Codes”, “Jim Crow Laws”, “Mass Incarceration“, “Convict Leasing”, “Lead Water”, “GMO Food” and most importantly a miseducation. On top of that, black Americans regularly have to deal with job discrimination, bank discrimination, and housing discrimination. Yet, somehow, America wants black Americans to see this as the “Land of the Free”. How is that possible? This book explains how African Americans can no longer lie to themselves and to each other for the sake of appeasing their white peers. The author offers solutions to combatting these forces through scholarship, knowledge of self, and mastering group economics.
