Sobre IBD

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. 3

  • Man’s Basic Purpose

One religious explanation says that 'Man’s Basic Purpose' is to worship, praise, and glorify God. It is the author’s view that we were not put here to glorify God. Here a more secular view of 'Man’s Basic Purpose is given. One secula...

  • Going with the Flow
    Jay Thomas Willis
    Willis has created the majority of these sayings from his cerebral consciousness. A few of them he has heard repeated over and over throughout his lifetime. He repeats them here from memory; it would be impossible to trace them to their original source. He simply sat down and let his thoughts flow. This is how he derived the title, 'Going with the Flow.' They are not erudite, b...
