Chairman of the Board
H. Lewis Smith is a retired Marketing & Sales Executive, entrepreneur and author. Lewis was born and raised in Hamilton, Ohio and after graduating from high school, he enlisted into the Air Force, served an eight-year tour of duty, and was honorably discharged. In the mid-1960’s, Lewis moved to the Los Angeles-metropolitan area where upon he attended Cal State Los Angeles College.
A little over 20 years ago, Lewis came to a crossroad in his life: He was diagnosed with cancer. In the doctor’s opinion, Lewis could either have surgery or begin taking medication, which he would have to consume for the rest of his life. Lewis, who has been a student of metaphysics for a great part of his life, chose to do neither. Instead, he elected to place his fate in the hands of a higher power. That epochal moment in Lewis’ life positioned him to receive divine cultivation of psychic (clairsentient), spiritual-healing, and mystic-power abilities.
During his studies of metaphysics, he learned about the power of thoughts and words and the energy that emanates from a simple word; that prompted him to conduct some research on the word, n**ger. Lewis’ findings were intense. He felt obligated to share this enlightening information with his black brothers and sisters. Based on research findings and his in-depth understanding of the power of thoughts and words, Lewis wrote the book, Bury that Sucka: A Scandalous Love Affair With the N-word.
Even though not all black Americans refer to themselves as the pejorative n-word, an alarming proportion of the Black community uses and/or supports use of the term. For instance, ministers invoke the word from their pulpits, and the NAACP, with the wink of the eye, looks the other way when prominent blacks publicly embrace the word. Many black college professors support their students’ use of the word. Minister Louis Farrakhan… Continue reading
In Frederick Douglass’ July 5, 1852, Fourth of July speech, he told the audience:
“What, to the American slave, is your 4th of July? I answer; a day that reveals to him, more than all other days in the year, the gross injustice and cruelty to which he is the constant victim. To him, your celebration is a sham; your boasted liberty, an unholy license; your national greatness, swelling vanity… Continue reading
No American minority group has been caricatured as often and in as many ways as blacks. The entertainment media, from vaudeville to television, has portrayed blacks as happy-go-lucky idiots, dangerous thugs, and any definition of a n**ga one could fathom. The industry has degraded the black community for years, simply to make a buck, and always at the expense of the black community. Members of the entertainment industry defend their… Continue reading
Black America’s failure to hold Boondocks ACCOUNTABLE for its use of the n-word manifests an inability to rise from an 18th century enslaved mentality state of mind. If the producer of the show was white all of Black America would be up in arms over the use of the n-word and the fact that Aaron McGruder is BLACK should not give him the license to degrade and demean Black America… Continue reading
Myrlie Evers-Williams, wife of slain prominent Mississippian civil rights leader Medgar Evers, speaks out against use of the n-word by all Americans, but especially Black Americans’ use, whose use of the word is the most disturbing and damaging in her perspective.
Why all the fuss over a word?, many will and do ask. Some Black Americans believe there are more important issues in the black community that one should… Continue reading
