Reviews by Pancho @ "Black Genius: African American Solutions to African Americans Problems" By Walter Mosley

Black Genius: African American Solutions to African Americans Problems 🧠☻🧠 After reading the cover of this book, I assumed that the text would include a layout of problems that were vigilant in the black community.  I assumed to see ingenious solutions to ingenious problems created by people of their own community. However, what I saw and quickly noticed about the book was that it's a display of black genius' and the work they did to not only distinguish themselves from the world but black people as a whole.  Each chapter covers 2 things-  1. A mini explanation of the black genius in question along with the work they've contributed to history. 2. A closer look into the Genius and problems they've faced when it came to equality on top of how they handled those problems. The book displays a collection of over 10 black geniuses and their life stories; which is important to the theme in the text because if anything, the book serves as a guide on what black people should d

Reviews by Pancho @ "Supreme Mathematic African Ma'at Magic" By African Creation Energy

Supreme Mathematic African Ma'at Magic ⫀⨦⨧ <<<------------This journal-sized book was fun to read in regards to the context found within the pages. The author(s) do a great job of supplying the text with pictures and images. This brings the text to life for each chapter, which makes the book enjoyable overall. While the imagery side of things is a 10/10, the factual side is a 4/10.  One issue I keep finding with books that attempt to educate people on the more spiritual side of things is the factuality of the content printed.  "Supreme Maat" covers the history of African American culture and its uses when it comes to mathematics.  What I fail to understand is how Mathematics correlates with people who have special powers and the ability to use certain magical things that were given to us by deities.  African Creation Energy, as a whole, threw me off with that one.  I don't believe that only certain gifted people can be good at math; nor do I believe that engi

Reviews by Pancho @ "48 Laws of Hustling: Dont be a statistic" By Ricky St.Julien II

48 Laws of Hustling: Don't be a statistic 𝌭 This journal-sized book contains a mock spin on the 48 laws of power. The author St. Julien II takes the audience through his own spin on laws that work best for people who are involved in the art of Hustling.  The items on the list cater a lot to people who might be conducting illegal activity. However, I feel like the author only does this because it's very relevant to his life and what he did in his past. St. Julien II makes it known to readers that he published this book while incarcerated due to a large federal crime he conducted.   Therefore, the items on this list serve the purpose of being a guide for those who choose to follow the steps of a hustler.  Even though the 48 Laws of Powers cater to a specific audience, the author doesn't fail to include pieces of advice for those who do not hustle. Ordinary white-collar citizens that work the traditional 9-5 jobs were also a target audience for the book.  Toward the middle of

Reviews by Pancho @ "Brainwashed: Challenging the Myth of Black Inferiority" By Tom Burrell

Brainwashed: Challenging the Myth of Black Inferiority 🌀🌌 This large-sized book covers the many different aspects of black people that plague them today. The author of the book, Tom Burrell, does a lot to lay out the different ways that black people keep themselves stagnant. He looks at the stagnant behavior as a result of black people being brainwashed. Normally, I tend to creep back into my hole when I hear things that revolve around "crazy". But not for this book.  The author does such a great job of explaining how much the black race has played themselves by being overtly dependent, seeing black as ugly, tearing other black people down with ease, and not speaking out when black-on-black crimes happen.  The brainwashing effect (As Burrell calls it), is by far the most destructive and toxic thing to happen to a nation(s). I include the (s) because the author goes on to explain how the brainwashing effect not only confused black people but white people as well. This is som
