IN G.O.D. WE TRUST

“A BLACK NEW WORLD ORDER”

by Walter Smith

Raimundo Thomas, a product of Chicago’s Southside, turned author and philosopher, has written a book based on his life’s experiences and his association with the works of Spike Lee, Curtis Mayfield and Brian Fleming.

The theme of his book, “A Black New World Order” was inspired by the Curtis Mayfield song “New World Order”, which he co-wrote.

The book grabs one’s attention from just reading the cover. Once inside, it’s impossible to retreat from the descriptive “In G.O.D. We Trust? Black New World Order” until the very end, page 127.

What’s unique about this book is it doesn’t condemn the white man for the condition of African Americans. The book suggests that African Americans begin building new families and communities with the resources currently available to them.

There have been suggestions for the past 50 years that black organizations such as the NAACP, Urban League, NNPA, Deltas, Congressional Black Caucus, Kappa’s, Omegas, Churches, etc, refrain from having conventions for one year and donate the money one would anticipate spending on any one convention, to a fund to build a hotel in central America that could service all black organizations. This never happened. Black organizations continue to spend billions each year in the various hotel chains on conventions and various other functions with no financial interest in any of them. African Americans should own a 3000 room hotel to hold their functions.

Like a seasoned leader or avid follower of our most vocal community activists, he carefully wades through the history of African Americans, citing setbacks, accomplishments, deploring the drug trade and the many evils that retard the mind. Meanwhile the good and bad experiences are stored and categorized to develop a plan for the future.

The plan, slowly unveiled in the book began with rebuilding the family in 41 person units while constructing and energizing a national bank.

One million black millionaires adopt 40 persons each and mentor that family in acquiring the skills to support the family and rebuild strong communities. This builds a support mechanism for every black person in America. This effectively eliminates the destructive elements that are so pervasive in our communities today.

The book based on personal knowledge, self help and faith in God is a must read.
