The Enemy Within: Why We Black Americans Must Confront Ourselves
This book is an internal critique and analysis of the various ways in which Black Americans, historically and contemporarily, have pursued certain behaviors, ideologies and cultural practices that have been self-destructive and counterproductive to the improvement and well-being of the Black American community. As Black Americans still contend with external forces that present obstacles toward their advancement as a people, Black people within the United States make their situation worse due to their own jealousy and group self-hatred, along with certain pathologies that serve to sabotage their own growth and development from within. Additionally, it is now known that other Black Americans were complicit in the downfall of some of America's most famous Black American civil and human rights leaders and activists. If Black Americans within the United States are truly committed to their collective welfare as a people, they must address the multiple ways in which their social, political, economic, and spiritual health has been hampered from within.
