[Lady of Pearl]

Sounds like a newer version of the same old propaganda via the Willie Lynch letter. As far as not reading,- I wonder who is buying the books - both fiction and non-ficition that African American authors are writing. Seems to me that we can read and write too! Also, look at the publications available such as Black Enterprise, Upscale, Ebony and Jet! he wished we didn't read. Sounds like this is just another stereotype of African Americans. We have businesses and investment clubs and we are working within our communities to make a difference!
