Truths are those aspects of humanity that do not change that are common to all men and women. That which does not change is real. The reality of human existence is the sameness of all readers black, white, red, yellow or brown. A writer doesn’t have to look very far to know his readership. He need only to know himself. I thirst, therefore I drink. I hunger, therefore I eat. I tire, therefore I rest. All people thirst and hunger. All people get tired and need to rest. All people have feelings, and emotions. All people have a need to be respected, needed and loved. Pain is pain. It doesn’t matter if a white man feels the pain or a black man. Joy is joy. It doesn’t matter if a red man feels the joy or a black man. Find the universals of your subject matter and write about those. That is what authors like Leo Tolstoy, Anne Frank,Albert Einstein,Martin L. King,Jr, Lao Tzu,Mao Tse Tung,Ho Chi Minh, Abraham Lincoln, John F. Kennedy,Shakespeare, Desmond Tutu, Winnie Mandela,Fidel Castro,Marx and Engels, Socrates, Aristotle,and Malcolm X all did. When you do this you will engage the interest and readership of all men and women regardless of race, creed or color.

If black folk think that some white person is going to sit down and write a book blueprinting or outlining the path to African American economic freedom; they will be waiting until hell freezes over! And based on the Holy Bible, that’s not going to happen in my life time.
