Riassunto

Thoroughly researched and extensively referenced, this highly credible work uses evidence from biblical, anthropological, historical, and ancient literature sources dating as far back as 3,000 years ago to support the facts that: People of color have a positive history. People of color were the first to give structure and order in society. Scripture cites Black role models. Current issues such as idolatry and slavery have their roots in the practices of ancestors. Color was not used as a segregating tool until 300 years ago. Racial equality is a truth Black people have different issues. There is nothing wrong with being black. I have said,...all of you are children of the most High (Psalm 82:6). Pastor of the largest church in Western Europe, Matthew Ashimolowo looks at the glorious past of the Black race and examines uncompromisingly the conformations that have molded Black people. His fascinating insight celebrates the rich heritage and confronts today s challenges.

Recensione:

What is Wrong with Being Black? declares the truth not often presented accurately in our current history books. Therefore, I strongly believe that this project should be, and will be, a required read for High school and College campuses around the country. I applaud you for your apparent interest in this subject. However, I encourage you to not let it stop with you. This project should not just be read, but studied. Encourage your circle of family and friends to also read it and then schedule a discussion group so that you can further grapple with what you have learned. Also, it is important that you recognize how critical the information shared in this book is for our younger generations. What is Wrong with Being Black? should be shared with our youth in order to ensure that they are educated on their history and encouraged about their future. --Bishop Eddie L Long. Senior Pastor of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church

I commend Pastor Matthew for writing this seminal book that not only celebrates the past achievements of people of colour, but also provides an in-depth exposition of the so-called pathologies and conformations that afflict the present generation of blacks around the world. It provides some solutions and a lot of hope for the future. I heartily recommend this book to all, and especially to politicians, business leaders and academics those who have a key role to play in effecting change --General Olusegun Obasanjo, former President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria
