    About this ebook

    Discover an alternate way of looking at an old historical problem. ARDUOUS QUEST is a tool to help pry open the tomb of conjecture, half-truths, and outright lies, under which the minds of the Negro people have been buried. ARDUOUS QUEST accentuates the decade’s long struggle, along with the power and resiliency necessary to overcome mental slavery and oppression that undeniably obstructs and hinders a positive reality.

      Introduction

      T

      his book is intended to inspire thought in the minds of the oppressed peoples around the globe. Unfortunately, there is a lack of relevant teaching universally regarding the so-called African-American whom were kidnapped and brought to the shores of North America. There is a great need for historical information and relative teaching’s regarding the history of this world’s original man, and the different paths the African tribes have been forced to overcome. Each unique path filled with vast amounts of diversity and differences, reveals the horrors and atrocities inflicted on the Negroes by others universally around the world. Without certain cognitive tools, psychological processes, behaviors, information, or research guidance, how as a people can we expect to alter the course of history and take our place beside God when we have yet to understand the main plot of our existence?

      The most imperative, problematic, and crucial element involved is the education system's failure to teach relevant authentic African-American history in schools and as part of the educational system. We now understand that there was a scarcity of literature available early in the country’s development of the current educational system, but that excuse is no longer relevant. The early historical reference books gave misleading, little, or no information in regards to the Negro presence or problems the Negro faced in America. These early references contained very minimal references or truths in regards to Negroes, but generally depicted them in racist, degrading, worthless, sub-human, and subordinate roles. Such references merely expose the mere fact of slavery, oppression and the subordinate roles imposed upon Negroes due to the supposed self-proclaimed higher civilization of the Anglo-Saxons. Within the context and print of the so-called information included derogatory statements relating to the primitive, heathenish quality of the African background, but nothing denoting skills, abilities, contributions or potential in the image of the Negro, in Africa or America. This allowed the systematic control of the Negro to a brain-washed acceptance of the inferior role assigned to him by the dominant race, and absorbed by him through his teaching, schooling, culture, and learned behaviors.

      Consequently, and unnecessarily, we have been taught many misconceptions in our dealings with history, politics, and religion. We are therefore a people of very limited knowledge and lack a great deal of subsequent truths. We must prepare ourselves with the truth of God, history, and ourselves. We must be knowledgeable of the past, the new world order, and our surroundings. The knowledge contained in this small informative work should help some reach further for the truth. The reality that is needed is to satisfy personal growth requirements, and arm ourselves with the power of knowledge that cannot be taken from us.

      This book is intended as a tool to help pry open the tomb of conjecture, half-truths, and outright lies, under which the minds of the Negro people have been buried.  The contents ask questions and analyze everyday systems of belief in hopes of provoking sincere, intelligent thought in areas traditionally left unattended. The scientist, psychologist, sociologist, social worker, preacher, teacher, and all Negro people, regardless of our walk in life, can benefit greatly from this book that goes through doors of inquiry kept shut by the shadows of slavery, and the hidden sign which says, No Nigga’s Allowed.

      We are either on the threshold of true power to govern self and become the torchlight for all downtrodden and oppressed people around the world, or we are on the verge of the most tragic end of a people ever witnessed in history.  The so-called melting-pot of America has now become the greatest powder keg in the world.  It is the plan of the wickedly wise to purposely light the fuse.  By the grace of God, this book may help reach deep down in the mud of life where my people struggle to pull themselves up, and lift one to safety, before the threatened explosion rips America apart.

      The significant interpretations, ideologies, and information presented have direct implications in today’s current society and generation. Hopefully, as you read and re-read this book, and ponder the truths and information contained herein, you can help this author, as he helps others, help us all, to crush the plan of the wicked.  Let us all pray for God’s grace as we go through the narrow gate of salvation.  Remember to continuously progress and stand strong no matter how arduous the quest.

      As an
