Summary

In Chicago, aka "Chiraq", the first 10 days of 2016 yielded 120 people shot. Baltimore's 2015 ended as its bloodiest and deadliest year - on a per capita basis. In 2014 Detroit's police chief called upon law-abiding citizens to take arms against its burgeoning violent, criminal subculture. Unfortunately these cities aren't anomalies. Year after year a seemingly unshakable reality of violence plagues Black communities nationwide. In fact, since 1980, Blacks have routinely accounted for almost half of America's annual homicide victims and more than half of the perpetrators - all while being a minor 13 percent of the national populace. 

Yet a certain Black-based industry - which specializes in nurturing comfortable lies while burying uncomfortable truths - propagates a notion that racism is the foremost issue facing Black Americans, and White cops are bloodthirsty enforcers. Moreover, this cunning, race-peddling entity knows that it's easier to lie to Blacks than to convince Blacks that they've been lied to. Thus, Black lies are good for business; Black lives are good for nothing (except exploitation). And presently, business is booming.

TRUTH......Pure and simple!

I really liked the way the author did his own narration. I find a lot of the narrators quite irritating to the point where the whole book is ruined because I'm so distracted, not so with this book. The author is one of the rare people today brave enough to speak the brutal truth of the current racial issues that are rapidly growing out of control. No doubt I will be branded a racist for this review, I don't care, I know I am not I just don't suffer from white guilt.

Makes everything clear

This book cuts through the rubbish of #blm and the pervasive victim mentality that is plaguing people of colour.

It's hard hitting and to the point with many examples of how the sad truth of black on black crime is largely ignored.

A must listen!!

A good book which makes a lot of good points

It's a really well written, honest and frank bit of work.

Well worth a listen to. This person is frank and to the point and it covers the truths many people don't want to hear but. It's true and that is the problem.

Being accurate and factual seem to not matter these days but this gets to the point. Good work!

A very informative publication.

This is a book that should be taken very seriously. It shows how an idea can become reality although based on a lie it should be essential reading for all publilc institutions.

Informative

A good summary of the ridiculous narratives that have come to populate the media whilst acknowledging there are still real challenges. Worth the read

Necessarily Repetitive

This book is essential for anyone who feels that there is something not quite right about the BLM movement.

Starkes cites numerous examples of how BLM plays on the moral outrage of society to promote its Marxist agenda whilst simultaneously giving little to nothing back to 'black communities'.

Black Lives Matter do not stand for addressing racial inequalities they advocate for a new power paradigm that is racist, violent and malicious.

standing ovation

so refreshing to read a book by someone who sees the bigger picture, and isnt afraid to call out the black community in the US on its REAL PROBLEMS - internal politics and urban terrorists.
