Did anyone read the book "The Forty Million Dollar Slave" ?

Question

It's by William Rhoden
If you can, please provide a summary of the book.

Answer 1

This book is BS from the word go.,

Because of the distorted context in which this subject has been presented, I can say nothing good about this book. Under this convoLuted resoning, would Black athLetes be any Less a slave under BLack ownership? I think not. WouLd White athLetes be sLaves under BLack ownership? I think so. By it's very nature, whoever you work for you are selling your Labor for money. Does that make you a slave because the one you work for is not of the same race as you are? This book is 100% BS.

Make sure you read the reader comments at the end of the page. I read this book and although it is a very interesting metaphor, comparing the black athlete to a slave on a plantation, I rejected the essential premise of the book, because 1-no one is forcing the black athlete to join the sports world; 2-the essential idea of slavery is that a person is forced to work and they don't get any profit from their labors and 3-the premise itself if racist because it forcusses only on one race and ignores or trivializes all of the other races.
