In The Real-Holocaust-a title adapted from the well-known phrase "the real McCoy"-the basic premise of the author is that Americans have underestimated the damage inflicted upon the nation, especially African people, since the beginning with the European-Arab slave trade in 1441, and continuing to the present era.

In The Real-Holocaust-a title adapted from the well-known phrase "the real McCoy"-the basic premise of the author is that Americans have underestimated the damage inflicted upon the nation, especially African people, since the beginning with the European-Arab slave trade in 1441, and continuing to the present era.

And this schism reflects a denial of genuine nationhood to Africans in America who constitute, psycho-spiritually, "a population without a country"-a challenge to the Two Nations (1993) concept of Professor Andrew Hacker. Indeed, the author's arguments are based upon over 50 years of experience in the Black liberation struggle, painstaking research and spiritually profound intuition. Accordingly, he recommends wholism-specific measures to make us "whole"-through the promotion of spirit, mind and body, for all American citizens, including "contingency reparations" for African Americans, on both a group and individual basis.
