The author states that racial problems in the United States will not be solved "until two things happen: America must accept responsibility for the grievous wrong that has been committed against Africans and African Americans, and take steps to redress that wrong; and black Americans need to arm themselves with a more comprehensive awareness of their ancient history and a fuller recognition of their ongoing contribution to our nation and the world."--… (meer)

"I have tried in these pages to sketch the outlines of a story that stretches from the dawn of civilization to the present. The dilemma of blacks in the world cannot possibly be understood with taking the long view of history. My intent is to stimulate, not sate. To pose the question. To invite the debate. To cause Americans to compensate, after three and a half centuries, for a long-avoided wrong." statement of the author, Randall Robinson

Randall Robinson fairly describes the legatic shadow of racist defamation: "No nation can enslave a race of people for hundreds of years, set them free bedraggled and penniless, pit them, without assistance in a hostile environment, against privileged victimizers, and then reasonably expect the gap between the heirs of the two groups to narrow. Lines, begun parallel and left alone, can never touch." [74] (
