Blueprint

Well folks, it is FINALLY OUT.
After a FOUR YEAR wait and his questionable passing. . . AMOS N. WILSON'S BLUEPRINT FOR BLACK POWER A Moral, Political and Economic Imperative for the Twenty-First Century has finally been completed and has hit the stores!!!!!!!!!!! 858 pages of reading with a 25 page detailed Index 31 chapters with graphs, tables and charts. This IS the quintessential text to take us into the next millennium!!!

This is from the back cover:     Afrikan life into the coming millennia is imperiled by [w]hite and Asian power. True power must nest in the ownership of the real estate wherever Afrikan people dwell. Economic destiny determines biological destiny. Blueprint for Black Power details a master plan for the power revolution necessary for Black survival in the 21st century. [w]hite treatment of Afrikan [a]mericans despite a myriad of theories explaining [w]hite behavior, ultimately rests on the fact that they can. They possess the power to do so. Such a power differential must be neutralized if Blacks are to prosper in the 21st century.
    Afrikan [a]mericans earn a take-home salary of near $500 billion yearly, not to mention the trillions they generate. Yet they retain only 5% of this income. Viewed as a nation, their income would be the 8th or 9th largest in the world. Afrikan [a]mericans possess enormous potential to amass effectual social, political and economic power and thus control their destiny and secure their liberation. Professor Wilson argues that were the Afrikan [a]merican community to see itself as indeed a de facto nation, then its scourges of poverty, disemployment, crime, miseducation, wanton consumerism, alienated/deficit spending, mis-leadership and powerlessness would be drastically reduced, IF NOT ELIMINATED!!!
    Blueprint posits that an Afrikan [a]merican/Caribbean/Pan-Afrikan bloc would be most potent for the generation and delivery of Black power in the [u]nited [s]tates and the world to counter [w]hite and Asian power networks. Wilson frames this imperative by deconstructing the [u.s.] elite power structure of government, political parties, think tanks, corporations, foundations, media, interest groups, banking and foreign investment particulars. Potentially strong Black institutions as the church, media and think tanks; industry; collectives such as investment clubs and credit unions; rotating credit associations such as Afrikan-originated esusu, tontine and partner are analyzed. Pan-Afrikanism, Black Nationalism, ethnocentrism and reparations are assessed, often misused and underused financial institutions as securities, mutual funds, stocks, bonds, underwriting, and incubators advocated, thus elucidating oft-negated opportunities for economic empowerment. Blueprint delegitimates [w]hite power and roundly critiques the Black sycophantic bourgeois religious leadership establishments for their historic moralizing of Black socioeconomic conditions and programmatic ineptitude. Wilson warns the consequences of Black obsolescence--biological annihilation!
    Aptly titled, Blueprint for Black Power stops not at critique but prescribes radical, practical theories, frameworks and APPROACHES FOR TRUE POWER. It gives a biting look into Black potentiality. This 900-page treatise is a journey into the protracted.

Lastly, from pages 98 & 99, under the subsection, The Realization of Afrikan Consciousness:

Afrikan consciousness will realize its full power, second to none, when it dedicated itself exclusively to the advancement and satisfaction of Afrikan interests BEFORE ALL OTHERS ; when it bases its organization on a realistic and truthful knowledge of Afrikan history and culture, a truthful knowledge of the history, culture, intentionalities, and powers of the enemies or would-be-enemies of Afrikan peoples; when it acquires a solid and courageous knowledge of reality, and self; when it becomes determined to achieve self-control, high self-esteem; when it achieves self-acceptance, and develops its ability to form more affirmative, affectionate, cooperative intragroup relations; when it produces to and for its own satisfaction; when it organizes itself to overcome and overthrow [w]hite supremacy and successfully defend Afrikan peoples against the deprecations of other ethnic groups . . . The royal road to Afrikan Power, to Black Power, to a powerful Black Consciousness runs through the reclamation by Afrikan peoples of their Afrikan identity and their irresistible will to be the determiners of their own ultimate destiny.
