Why do our books focus almost entirely on Racism/White Supremacy? Because Racism/White Supremacy is responsible for the vast majority of human suffering on the planet, whether it is global poverty, starvation, oppression, imperialism, colonialism, slavery, man-made diseases, displacement, racism, wars, and genocide, particularly, and especially, among people of color.
At the risk of offending some readers, we will not waste any time being politically correct. That being said, this book was not written to oppose the rights, dignity, and freedoms of any group of people. However, when a group of people is dedicated to destroying the God-given rights, dignity, and freedoms of another group, they must be EXPOSED and OPPOSED.
We have done our best to be fair, to tell the truth, and be correct in what we understand and know to be true. Every word in this book was designed to inform, decrease confusion, provoke discussion, and promote the kind of constructive action necessary to replace the system of Racism/White Supremacy with a system of universal justice for all the people on the planet.
What Our Books Are Not About
We are not excusing blacks from all personal responsibility for the condition of blacks in America; anymore than detailing the horrors of the Jewish Holocaust is the same as excusing Jews from all personal responsibility; or acknowledging the genocide of Native Americans is the same as excusing them from all personal responsibility.
However, when a group is so severely traumatized that their deaths rise to the level of GENOCIDE, it is crucial that their story be told; and any “blame” that exists on their part SHRINKS in importance to the crimes committed against them. What is the MAIN responsibility of the SURVIVING victims of MASS INJUSTICE?
TO MAKE SURE IT NEVER HAPPENS AGAIN.
We hope you will read this book with an open, inquiring mind. Thank you for allowing us to share our insights (and possible solutions) with you.
Because the authors were born and raised in the United States of America, Trojan Horse: Death of a Dark Nation was written from our life experiences and perspectives. We fully acknowledge that the same racism/white supremacy dynamic that exists inside the US, also exists in other parts of the world.
Since it is impossible (and undesirable) to describe the experiences of all non-white people under the system of racism/white supremacy, we will not attempt that here.
Throughout this book, the words “black” and “black people” are sometimes (but not always) interchangeable with “brown,” “yellow,” and “red” people. Our experiences as blacks in America will strike a chord with non-white people in every part of the world. We hope our perspectives will encourage others to pursue their own truths and to use that wisdom to fight for justice in their own countries.
There is nothing original about the ideas presented here. Wiser minds have come before and will certainly come long after this book was written. The authors are not falsely modest; we are acknowledging we did not invent the wheel.
The authors are not seeking fame. This is not an attempt to be mysterious or provoke curiosity. This is not a gimmick or a perverse, reverse publicity ploy. In today’s media-obsessed world, there is too much focus on “show” and not enough on “substance.”
The authors choose not to participate. The authors reserve the right to NOT be a distraction to the message. We are the least important part of this book. You, the reader, are more important. Even more important, is what you do with this information.
You may not agree with everything or anything written here. We have presented our truths to the best of our ability. If this book inspires you to seek your own truths, it has been a success.
The Authors/ Contributors joined together to share our collective observations and experiences as blacks in America. The fictional stories and scenarios in this book are derived from real-life situations involving real people.
Established in 2009, Trojan Horse Press is committed to promoting independent, constructive thoughts, speech, and actions designed to eliminate racism/white supremacy and produce JUSTICE for all the people on the planet.
Our first book, Trojan Horse: Death of a Dark Nation, was our first literary contribution to the fight for justice. Black Love Is A Revolutionary Act is our second. We hope our books will accomplish our goal: of increasing understanding and reducing confusion about the system of racism/white supremacy.
