"He has been a courageous and forthright advocate of excellence and achievement for peoples of African descent around the world, and he issued this year a stentorian call for Black people to rise above being dependent and complacent consumers and become independent, reformed producers - of culture, language, food, clothing, values and economies. In his landmark publication - 'Capitalist Nigger: The Road to Success' - he issues an angry, but compassionate, cry for Black people around the world... to wake up to the reality of their own enormous potential and become economic warriors in the world. He has penned an historic and ground-breaking economic, political and cultural treatise.....that according to one critic, is the 'definitive book on the Black race that every Black person would like to have written, but didn't have the courage [to write.]'
