This book, The State of the American Mind: Stupor and Pathetic Docility Volume One begins to unravel some of the most obvious, perplexing, embarrassingand enduring problems and contradictions of American history and sociology, viz., howcould the American revolution that started with the most ringing and most inspiring Declarations of human equality inworld history end up establishing the most vicious, exploitative society the world ever knew Black chattel slavery andonly ten percent white enfranchisement, etc. Further, how could men of such great wisdom and intellect like GeorgeWashington, James Madison, Thomas Jefferson, and others who were Enlightenment scholars and clearly knew thatslavery was despicable and evil, because they had variously experienced white servitude and slavery themselves,collude to establish and institutionalize the horrible system of Negro chattel slavery in America; and also disenfranchisedover 90 percent of people of their own race actions that racism could not explain. The structural/institutional slaverysystem they established, and the resultant consequent racism hobbles America today as it did in the past, and forced EricHolder, the Attorney General to declare that, America is a nation of cowards, when it comes to race discussions. Thus,this book starts with serious critical discussions of race in America and reveals what no textbook has ever done, viz., that most early American whites and Blacks were slaves an uncomfortable fact that would shock most Americansbecause it contradicts the orthodoxy or the dominant narrative that only Blacks were brought here in chains. Further,the book also shows the year Black slavery started something almost, all textbooks got wrong. It also shows who, wasthe fi rst Black slave in America something no textbook ever mentions. It also shows when and how racism started inAmerica and many other very sensitive and embarrassing but necessary issues that America avoids but must be franklydiscussed for America to move forward. This book therefore shatters the two dominant themes of Americas history andsociology that Blacks were brought into America in chains as slaves while whites came to America in search of freedom,as Harvard educated President Obama famously told us in his race speech. Thus, the crowning lesson of this book, inaddition to discussing some critical policy issues like education, health care, etc., is that it discovers the centripetal forceof the American society that eluded contemporary Americans because American bosses have laboriously concealed thefacts from the public the scary but clearly healthy uniting fact that most Americans are united by their commonancestry, their universal history and experience of servitude, bond-indentures and slavery. Nothing is more universal, morecommon and more shared in American history and sociology than the fact that most of our ancestors, black and white,were servants, bond-indentures and slaves who were dominated and super-exploited by few overlords. Colonial Americawas the preferred dumping ground for British, outcasts, rejects, criminals, masterless class, vagabonds, bond-indentures,slaves, etc., until 1776 when Australia replaced America as the British dump for its rejects and surplus citizens. Thus, thatAmerica was a nation founded by British rejects and losers is inherently more rational than the prevailing orthodoxy or theObama theory of Americas founders that they were great honorable men who journeyed across the ocean for freedombecause of the obvious reason that good, powerful achieving citizens do not normally emigrate to new uncharted lands.
