Cynique I have news for you it is the "best selling author or successful entrepreneur" who is LEAST likely to support and AALBC.com. Of course there are notable exceptions to this but the fact of the matter is that I survive thanks to the largess of individuals like yourself (and you done WAY more than you share to support AALBC.com). Rich authors don't need to buy ads from or otherwise directly support an AALBC.com. There are many reasons for this but I save that for a future post. But suffice it to say I get the support I need from folks like and Chris before I do from say a Toni Morrison or Walter Mosley... (this is not exactly true and here is why) @Cynique, do you think people in your personal sphere would recognize, or like your persona here? Do you think they would find her interesting? No one, as far as I know, from my personal world--even those in publishing, post here. Del and Mel are exceptions, but I have not seen either in a decade or longer. What we do here is an activity only a small percentage of the population can, will, or are interested it doing. This is why lurkers will always outnumber posters, that is just the nature of things.

At the moment I've decided to dedicate most of my resources to completing the web site upgrade and of course maintaining revenue generating activities, so I probably will not publish any new "free to the author" reviews until after the upgrade has been completed, early next year. But posting information about your book here was not a wasted effort. First, it does introduce your book to potential new readers. Second, an author who takes the time to post information about their book, in the fashion that you did, signals to me that this is someone serious about their work. This is why these are the only books I will consider reviewing. So even if your book is not reviewed, until next year, there is still a potential benefit to you. I know properly posting information about one's book here is a relatibvely low threshold to meet, but trust me, you'd be surprised a the caliber of requests I receive. You've demonstrated that you are already a cut above. I suspect your work reflects that as well. I am however continuing to publish commissioned book reviews. So if you want a book review published in 6 weeks or less. We have not stopped this service. You may learn more about it here: https://aalbc.com/reviews/reviewer_guidlines.htm#guaranteed

And what is a monolith made up of? Entities that are all the same. Blacks are not a monolith but they are a minority, and what is the incentive for the majority to share its power? Just askin...

LOL. To be clear this is what I believe; we are all humans and race is a concept made up by racists. Blacks are not a monolith, any more than any other group, of more than a handful, of humans. Unfortunately, we live on a planet that marginalizes Black people. If we are to change this we have to work together, as if we were a monolith. Once we are treated was well as anyone else, we can go about our business doing our own thing.

You 2 have done an excellent job of analyzing and defining the subject under discussion but the more you conclude the more you reveal the complexity of the situation. Present company excluded, It would seem to me that unless someone is a best selling author or successful entrepreneur they don't have the luxury of plugging and supporting those they are in competition with. Their primary goal is to sell and promote their own product. Of course every one is eager to give free advice, and it's easy to be magnanimous when you are well off because being so is, in itself, a form of self-gratification. But when you are struggling to achieve, you tend to be self-absorbed. Expecting an individual to believe he/she will profit by merging with the group to achieve the common goal of success, is problematic. A peer group can be made up of one's rivals and the ever present ego drives the individual to best the competition. It is not everyone's nature to be a crusader, and creative people and divas want to do things their way as opposed to becoming a spoke in the wheel. On the way up, ambitious people do benefit from those who have helped them, but this help usually comes from those who have nothing to lose by offering assistance. An old African proverb says that "one who travels alone goes faster, but those who travel together go further" is wisdom lost on black folks tryin' to be a hot solo act. I agree that people are intellectually lazy - because ignorance is bliss. If something is too much trouble then they sidestep it, wallowing in their comfort zone, something I can relate to because I have long ago given up on trying to cure the ills of society by intellectualizing them. Those who seek challenges are a special breed and, for people of color, they can be the hope of the future. Just some rambling thoughts... As for my presence on this board, it is what I refer to as "my other life"; a place where I can come and rise above the role of Mommy, Nana, and friend to the religious and boring. So I am guilty of not being accompanied by an entourage to make up an audience of lurkers or contributors to AALBC's forums. "Cynique" is a name nobody is really familiar with in my personal sphere. Sorry, Troy, for not holding up my end.
