Blacklisted

If you’re Black in America, you’re born blacklisted. From the moment you enter this world, there’s a system designed to keep you locked out-of power, wealth, and opportunity. It’s not broken; it was built this way. Felony convictions, hiring discrimination, redlining, school pipelines to prison -these aren’t accidents. They’re the modern-day Black Codes, updated for the 21st century. While politicians preach progress, the numbers tell the truth: one in three Black men will see a jail cell, Black names on résumés get 50% fewer callbacks, and the Black-white wealth gap is as wide as it was in 1865. But this isn’t a story of oppression- it’s a story of resistance. Blacklisted exposes the rigged game but also reveals the strategies that have kept Black communities alive and thriving against the odds. From the rise of Black entrepreneurship to the power of cooperative economics, this book delivers the counterattack For us, this is power. For you, this is a choice. Stand with us, challenge the system, and help rewrite the rules. The game is fixed -but we’re breaking it.
