Nearly two and one-half generations ago when Afrodescendant leaders forged racial integration policies and the way ahead, did they anticipate today's status quo? Did they expect better or worse outcomes than we are experiencing in 2013? Today, Afrodescendants lag far behind the rest of the nation in income, wealth formation, and most other important social indicators. Over 25 percent of all Black Americans are living in or near poverty. Is this what we bargained for? The obvious answer is an emphatic no. What we know today is that racial integration is impotent to produce equality in a society where little action is taken to squelch White Supremacist attitudes. Monologue on Race invites Afrodescendants to conduct their own 360-degree analyses of the issues and decide for themselves whether it is time to chart a new path for Black America's development. It is a guide that poses pertinent questions and suggests starting-point answers. Readers can use this monologue to ignite their own thinking and develop their own framework for analyzing the issues, living their lives, and fashioning a strategy for the future.
