Beschreibung

Are Blacks in America immune from criticism? Are they never responsible for their own failures? And most importantly, is Black rule the end for an American city? Paul Kersey answers these questions with an emphatic "yes" in this controversial account of the fall of Atlanta, through forty-five articles on the topic, originally posted to his SBPDL Blog at The Unz Review between 2011 and 2012. 

Black Mecca Down shows the tragic aftermath of the Civil Rights Movement in the decline of a once great city. Atlanta, GA, once dubbed "The City Too Busy To Hate," was supposed to be the model city for the New South, a thriving metropolis that would show the old Confederacy had moved beyond race and joined the global economy. Instead, Kersey argues, Atlanta became a Black dystopia dominated by corruption, incompetence, and crime. Starting with Maynard Jackson, Atlanta's first Black mayor, the greatest city in the South followed the pattern of Detroit, with basic institutions collapsing even as the cries of "racism" increased.

Paul Kersey's uproarious anthology, Black Mecca Down: The Fall of the City Too Busy to Hate, was originally published in 2012, has since fallen out of print, and is now being resurrected and preserved by Antelope Hill Publishing in a newly-edited and thoroughly cited edition.

    The concept of the intact mind, first described in a 2006 memoir, refers to the idea that inside every autistic child is an intelligent, typical child waiting to be liberated by the right diet, the right treatment intervention, the right combination of supports and accommodations. The sentiment itself is not new. Though the idea gives hope to parents devastated by a child's diagnosis, Amy Lutz argues that it has also contributed to widespread dismantling of services badly needed by severely disabled children and their families. 
     
     
     
    In Chasing the Intact Mind, Lutz traces the history of the intact mind concept, explaining how it influences current policy and practice affecting those with autism. Lutz provides a historical analysis of the intact mind narrative and describes how the concept—originally unique to autism—has come to inform current debates at the heart of intellectual and developmental disability practice and policy in the United States. Lutz argues that focusing on the intact mind and marginalizing those with severe disability reproduces historic patterns of discrimination that yoked human worth to intelligence, and that it is only by making space for the impaired mind that we will be able to resolve these ongoing clashes—as well as even larger questions of personhood, dependency, and care.

    The true story of the life of Jesus of Nazareth has never been unfolded to the world, either in the accepted Gospels or in the Apocrypha, although a few stray hints may be found in some of the commentaries written by the ante-Nicene Fathers. The facts concerning His identity and mission are among the priceless mysteries preserved to this day in the secret vaults beneath the "Houses of the Brethren." To a few of the Knights Templars, who were initiated into the arcana of the Druses, Nazarenes, Essenes, Johannites, and other sects still inhabiting the remote and inaccessible fastnesses of the Holy Land, part of the strange story was told. The knowledge of the Templars concerning the early history of Christianity was undoubtedly one of the main reasons for their persecution and final annihilation. The discrepancies in the writings of the early Church Fathers not only are irreconcilable, but demonstrate beyond question that even during the first five centuries after Christ these learned men had for the basis of their writings little more substantial than folklore and hearsay. To the easy believer everything is possible and there are no problems. The unemotional person in search of facts, however, is confronted by a host of problems with uncertain factors.

    From Near-Death to New Life 
    Barbara (Pamplin) Ohuninifa’s debut memoir, From Fat, Black, and Unlovable to Beautiful Powerful Love, shares her extraordinary journey of survival and healing. In 2017, Barbara faced an aortic dissection—a cardiac event with a 99% fatality rate—along with three open-heart surgeries and three resuscitations. This crisis was not random but the result of unresolved generational pain, betrayal, and systemic trauma. 
    Determined to heal, Barbara embraced intentional practices to reclaim her health and identity. Her story reveals how she untangled herself from toxic beliefs rooted in misogynoir, systemic oppression, and the inherited traumas of slavery. Reflecting on her South Side Chicago upbringing, her years as a young single mother in Atlanta, and the truths she uncovered, she inspires readers with her transformation. Her memoir affirms the power of healing and joy, no matter the odds. 
    What You’ll Discover 
    Barbara’s memoir offers readers more than a story—it’s a guide to healing. Alongside her reflections, she shares practical tools, including: 
    Reconnecting with Self: Techniques to align with your authentic self through nature, Ancestral guidance, and inner stillness. 
    Reflection and Growth: Journaling prompts and meditations to deepen self-awareness and release limiting beliefs. 
    Holistic Healing: Grounding techniques, breathing exercises, and rituals for emotional and physical well-being. 
    A Life of Joy: Simple, actionable ideas to bring creativity, laughter, and celebration into daily life. 
    This book empowers Black women to heal generational wounds, reclaim their power, and embrace self-love. 
    Part of the Beautiful Powerful Love Series 
    This memoir is the first in the Beautiful Powerful Love series, followed by Remember Who The Fck You Are*, a journal and activity book for Black women. Together, these works provide a transformational toolkit for self-discovery, healing, and reconnecting with Ancestral wisdom.
