Time do fly, do it not?
Sorry we took so long to get this thang together, but now that
we're live 'there ain't no stoppin' us now.' (whew! It must be
too much of that Ol' Skool Radio).
Before I get into my diatribe, don't sleep on this new book (to your
left) called Niggers, Niggas, and Negroes. It takes Black story telling
to a whole new level. If your tired of all those poorly written 'ghetto
dramas', you need to read this book by this talented brother. And what's
even better, it's only five bucks (for the electronic version). If you're
a connoisseur of fine black art, you owe it to yourself to read this
book.
Now, let's get down to business!

Is it sin to hate
to hate things that hurt you
Or sadden, you, Or deflate you
to hate, Hate
because Hate doesn't love
or laugh, or dream
( the final line of the poem )
Is it a sin to love to die
When Hate made you cry?

Business as usual.
BausHawg Recommends:
Truly an excellent work. Terrell James Website.
"Taking place in the Los Angeles suburb of Compton, Niggers,
Niggas, and Negroes is a gritty tale of love, hate, revenge, and
redemption."--D.Brightmon
When I first heard the title of this book I began to cringe. Being
of African American descent, I found none of these words palatable,
especially for an esteemed African American Author. But I immediately
changed my opinion (if only for this case) when I began to read this
heart wrenching story. (I will bring tears to your eyes, I promise you).
The writer takes you on a high velocity emotion ride that by the time
you put it down, (if you can) it will leave you spent, yet satisfied.
