ABOUT THE BOOK
Catalogue #04-1434; ISBN 1-4120-3606-2
NATE PERKINS LIVE! is a compilation of six talk radio shows, including a DVD
of four commercials, an info-commercial and photographs of family, friends, military
comrades and mentors, newspaper and magazine articles about Perkins, information
technology and businesses he created.
The six talk shows entail Perkins' philosophy regarding education, employment,
politics, the military and community.
We're at a crossroad! Talk to me about the ways in which the Tom Joyner Morning
Show degrades our parents, children, spouses, gays, military, employers, politicians,
educators by making jokes about and laughing at the black community.
We're at a crossroad! Talk to me about the limitations of sports being played
by black men in the nation's schools, which fail to require academic excellence
along with prowess on the football, basketball and baseball fields. Should we outlaw
sports in order to get our children a better education?
We're at a crossroad! Talk to me about politics and military service. Why shouldn't
we admire Colin Powell, Clarence Thomas and Condoleesa Rice, when they fulfill the
Dream of Martin Luther King, Jr. and so many other African Americans who died for
the right for people like them to be in positions of authority and power in the
United States Government?
We're at a crossroad! Talk to me about information technology that is speeding
so far ahead of the black community that dotes on sports superstars rather the education
of young black men.
We're at a crossroad! Talk to me about blacks who hide out in the black neighborhood
as Democrats but vote Republican and share in the wealth of the community behind
closed doors.
We're at a crossroad! Talk to me about black entrepreneurs who discourage each
other from hiring young blacks for fear of stealth, absenteeism and lackadaisical
behavior.
