This book discusses how African-Americans can free their minds from the psychological effects of slavery, and the many years of pre-colonial oppression. The basic idea behind the book is that African-americans were freed from the shackles and chains on their hands, feet, and necks; but so far hve been unable to successfully free their minds from the psychological effects left by these chains and shackles. The book suggest that African-Americans will need extensive reconditioning just as surely as they have been conditioned, in order to remove the psychological effects of this conditioning. The book is a detailed expose' on how African-Americans can accomplish this objective.

I describe in this book how the Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome has historically and currently affected my own family, and subsequently many other Black families. The book suggests that pre-slavery, Middle Passage, post-slavery, and modern-day conditions contributed to the Black family's pathologies. It goes on to demonstrate the manifestation of some of these specific problems in my family that has been caused by these historical conditions. It shows how the past continues to write on the slate of today. It also implies that the Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome will continue to affect the Black family in the distant future.

This book takes a look at how various primitive cultures saw the Europeans arrival in their cultures as the arrival of long-awaited gods that had been foretold about in their myth and folklore. This certainly happened with the Aztec of Central Mexico, Africa, North American Indians, Maori of New Zeland, the Carib Tainos "discovered" by Columbus, the Tarascans of Michoacan, the Mayas of Yucatan and Guatemala, as welll as the Incas of Peru. The myths held by some of these societies were similar to the current myths held in certain religious circles of a "Second Coming." As a results of their trustworth nature their societies were destroyed. It turned out that the invaders were barbarians rather than Gods. Our belief in a "Second Coming" is similar to the beliefs of these societies. If we keep believing in a "Second coming" we could suffer a similar fate as these societies.
