    With Democrats like the Clintons, the Obamas, Joe Biden, Robert DeNiro, Eric Holder, Maxine Waters, the ex-CIA Director along with CNN all being recipients of mailed bombs, Trump has mounted his soap box and blamed the media for these threats to his enemies. He has totally absolved himself from any responsibility for the example he sets with the incendiary comments he posts on Twitter, - with whom he has a symbiotic relationship. All the Liberal pundits are warning that attacking The Press is a classic tactic of fascist dictators but 45 continues to scapegoat the media, all the while using Fox News to spread his unsubstantiated "facts". So, who is to blame for this Catch-22 situation that has polarized the nation? If 45 did not have an outlet for his bigotry, would the country be better off? If Trump supporters didn't have him as their cheer leader, would this make them less hate-filled? Should his vitriolic pep rallies not be aired on TV news programs? Are the masses entitled to see their despicable President in action? America is faced with a dilemma. The latest brouhaha has flared up with a stand taken by white Megan Kelly, 47, who hosts a morning talk show on NBC. She insisted that wearing black face is OK during Halloween because it's part of a costume, and she made matters worse by saying, there was nothing wrong with this when she was growing up. When employed at Fox News, she also stirred controversy by saying that Santa Claus and Jesus were white and should not be represented as anything else. She claims to dislike political correctness, a noteworthy statement in view of how 45's ratings are steadily rising. Now word has just been received that the future of her show is in jeopardy. So here we go again... Everybody is urging people to get out and vote. To me, there's no guarantee this will make things better for the Democrats. Thanks to the game Trump is refereeing, too many eligible voters are growing impatient with the race card always being played, I have said that, little-by-little, Trump will start to touch on issues that his detractors are in agreement with. One morning they're all going to wake up and regret not being careful about what they wished for.
  2. Yep @Mel Hopkins, the link you provided was the source of my data. So far I have codes applied to about 12% of the books in may database , so the number of books listed in your category will likely increase. Of the books I have already categories 800 different codes are used. I saw some book using nine codes. Technically there is no limit, but practically you'd probably want to use 5 to 10. I'll know more after researching the subject a bit more. I assume you selected the BISAC codes for your book. If not, do you know you applied them? I obtained the codes associated to your book from Ingram's database.
  3. A QUOTE POSTED ON FACEBOOK by Mr. Toler: To Be A Black man in America, & Come home, Women tries to stop me from coming into my building because she feels insecure, Downtown St. Louis luxury loft, because she don’t feel that I belong, never really thought this would happen to me, but it did! Then 30 mins later police knock on my door, because she called! I was shocked this is America in 2018! https://people.com/human-interest/woman-who-blocked-black-neighbor-speaks-out/
  4. @Troy You keep asking about 'the police response' and I continue to answer: My response is, the police came to his door, I think. Because, from what I remember, she did call the police. Then, I think the video I posted said the police, left and did not feel the need to arrest him. I'm not sure, But since you keep asking, I will listen to the video again. My response was this though: This is NOT about the police, but it is about the White woman that called the police. I asked you this: Does the police have to 'be negative' in order for you to see the actions of the White woman? It is NOT about the police, it is about her and other white women that have recently called the police on Black people, ... for nothing, but they wanted the police to come out and do something to what they believed. "Support my point" Your point is that these 'stupid Black people' should not do anything against the White women who confront them and attack them, and they should not video them but keep these 'White women's actions quiet' and that their actions are not harmful. You believe that Black people are stupid and dumb for feeling victimize by this issue of White women calling the police on them, a situation that has been happening for some time now. got it. Troy, I don't feel that he handled the situation poorly. I hope that you will stop bullying me and at least allow me to voice my opinion.
  5. @Troy yes, I agree and I look forward to the article. I will definitely follow that format everywhere I post my book lol -
  6. So little to look forward to, and nothing to return to, but the innate strength of Cudjo, despite all, prevailed!
  7. Exactly. Now one might think you'd have to be somewhat paranoid to be this be suspicious of Amazon for doing this, but one has not way to determining if this is happening. Plus Amazon takes the first $100 of all you sales, plus you earn less money for each sale, plus you can actually find less expensive printers depending upon the count. plus Amazon does not give a sh-t about you or your book.
