I'm not a preacher, politician, pimp or celebrity. Most of them couldn't go to hell quick enough for me. A man who doesn't say what he means or do what he says, craves attention and misuses it when he he gets it, doesn't share what he knows and earns, deserves death.
Everything you have ever seen or heard about Africa is wrong. My African grandfather taught me that storyteller is the most powerful person in the world after God. My grandfather said be careful who you listen to and what they are saying. The storyteller is clever and masterful and has already decided exactly what he wants you to think and believe. The storyteller has the power to make you feel good or bad, strong or weak, ugly or beautiful, confident of defeated.
Unfortunately, all of the stories being told to Blacks in America, Europe, Africa and the Caribbean have made blacks worldwide feel low, weak, crazy, backward and powerless. So low that the storyteller has set the conditions for Blacks to be robbed of all of their stuff and too stupid to recognize it
So put your brews and blunts on pause. Rock with me for a few.

"If you are American born and raised, you're bound to get it twisted. You can't see yourselves or don't know yourselves. You are too accustomed to looking at life from one f*^%$#d up angle."
It's almost as if Souljah knew and was expecting the criticism that she has been getting for writing this book from AMERICANS.
"The storyteller is the most powerful person in the world after God."
I love this quote!!! And it's so true.
"The storyteller is clever and masterful and has already decided exactly what he wants you to think and believe. The storyteller has the power to make you feel good or bad, strong or weak, ugly or beautiful, confident of defeated"
Souljah truly is a talented woman with a lot of knowledge and love for herself.
I loved this book, and I believe that only the open-minded and non ignorant should read. Because if you're ignorant or closed-minded, you're bound to be upset by the message the book is conveying.
