I found this in a closet at work the other day. It was in a pile of black biographies. You know Louis Armstrong, George Washington Carver, that kind of shit. I read the first few pages. They were all about when he lit himself on fire while freebasing which consequently happened on my birthday. There are ads in the back of the book to order other books, books like Pimp: The Story of My Life by Iceberg Slim and Some Like it Dark. There was also an ad to order The Nigger Bible by Robert H deCoy. Why was this book at a school?!Description of The Nigger Bible:
"This book has been called "the most important book of our generation!" Dick Gregory's preface to The Nigger Bible, says: "Robert H. deCoy is not only one of the literary giants of our time who stretches out to address his own black-kind people, but he has dared to discard the traditional bestiges of Judeo-Chistianity in order to find and reveal the spititual truths of being black. He has dared further to reject the academic forms of Anglo-Saxon writings in orer to establish newer forms of presentations eliminating the pure white "bullshit" which has for so long shackled the spirits and minds of nearly all black people here in America . . . He has given to his people myths and a Genesis, withoutwhich no race of people can offer proof of their existence." The author tackles such questions as, "Why is a Nigger not a Negro?", "Should we integrate or segregate?", "Is Christianity for Niggers?" Islam? Judaism?" "Do Niggers need a God of their own?". "Should Niggers have sex relations with people of other races?", "Is there a Nigger holiday?"
