The rap culture, hip hop – meaningless things in the bleak overall picture of the black race in America. "While African Americans Slept: Leadership by Parasites" is an examination of the modern cultural elements in America through several chapters on a topic by topic basis, speaking on such topics as Diversity, Parenting, Assimilation, Racism, and the main topic – the failure of leadership in Black America after the death of Martin Luther King Jr. A deft examination of the American culture, "While African Americans Slept: Leadership by Parasites" is a top pick for community library black studies collections.
