Kevin, you are one of my heros...although I doubt that heroism is something to which you aspire.

You have come a long way, and have proven that it CAN be done!

I love your writing and your blog.

KUTGW!

Thanks Joe, and I hope you have pre-ordered your book?! :-)

Awesome. Be ready for the attacks now. They will come for you. I will have to order a copy come payday.

Glad to have your support, Bill! I'm ready for them, so bring it!

I know that you lived a different life than most, because of your family. I grew up in foster care during the 60's and 70's. So I do not know my family history either. Now we are rasing our granddaughter, she will be 10, we took her because I did not want to see her grow up in a drug infested life style, which is where she would be today. She is Mullato, and I love her. She is well behaved anywhere she goes.

@Mighty - I bet she's a doll, and you should be proud!

There is an old saying, "You can't change your DNA". I didn't understand what it meant until I got older, and seen what DNA has to do with a persons behavior. I've come to the conclusion that eventhough you can't change your DNA, you can change your behavior for the good, if there is "bad blood" in your family line. My brothers and sisters are evident of that, and so are you Kevin.
BTW-Your story of the Jacksons in Indy sounds the same of the Jackson line of my family that lives on the southside of chi-town. In fact, I have an older brother whose name is "Gary" cause my mother travelled over there so often. Its a small world after all...
Oh yeah, I got your book budgeted for the upcoming payday.

@Rose-Bud - Thanks for the insight, and for buying the book. Be sure to tell others, and I will make it worth your while!

Kevin, the book sounds like a great read. I will definitely be looking for it. While I cannot identify with the kind of life you must have had, there is one thing that I can relate to. Just because we are born into a family, does not mean we have to end up like them. We are also born with a free will to make our own choices. We can either emulate our parents, or do the opposite. I chose to do the opposite, as did you. It makes us appreciate our own choices, and understand others better. If you were brought up by a well to do family, you might not have ever made a difference. But because you have come so far, you will be able to really help others, and influence other young people who are stuck with such lousy parents. I hope your book is a huge success. Your words can change the country in ways Mr HopeyChangey only pretends to. I sure hope you get out on the talk circuit to sell this great book.
I do not like to order stuff on line. Will it be easy to find in the bookstore?

@MEG - It's not in bookstores yet. I would have had to double the prices to do that. Even making it available by purchase-on-demand, you would have to order online. NEXT book you will get in stores!

Sorry. If you catch me at a book signing you can buy it there, and no shipping charges!

My publicist is working on my schedule!

PS
If you want someone to picket Harpo to get her to have you on her show, count me in! I will get my army of former Oprah fans out there. I turned her off when she endorsed the nONE. She makes me sick now, but I would go to her show if you were there, just to see if she could show a bit of real journalist integrity.
I know, I am really dreaming!

Regardless of the horrific habits you father had, it's apparent that somewhere in the mix, there was high IQ.

You may have his blood, but you made different choices. That's what counts in most people's lives ... the choices they make.

You're the man.

Do you ship to Canada?

Any plans on releasing The Big Black Lie in e-book form?

If so, check out this and the links of the sidebar.

@Most Rev - No problem. I appreciate the support!

@MEG - Haha! Don't think I will make Oprah's book club, but hopefully my fans will more than make up for that hack!

@Hello - I can and will ship to Canada

@Anon - Will investigate e-book!

I've been reading your blog for a couple of months now, and I just love your point of view and your sense of humor. After reading this excerpt from your book, I have the utmost respect for you. You could have made a lot of excuses for yourself like others have, but you didn't. That makes you a rare person.

Keep speaking the truth. The world needs to hear it!

Blessings!

Thanks Joannah! Glad to have your support! The book does get funny, I assure you!

Kevin,
I am such a Fiction reader but I have enjoyed reading your blog so much that I WILL be purchasing your book!! I am a retired high school math teacher and counselor and I have to tell you that I know that I have had many many former students that have similar family history. Some choose to step off the path and pursue a different one as you did but sadly many others just followed the leader.....and repeated history. It makes me so sad. We need more independent thinkers like you as role models to save our children. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this blog!

I wish I could share your column with my black friends, but I'm scared they might call me racist! Thank you for all you do to jump over this huge gap between the cultures. You demonstrate life isn't about black and white skin, it is about right and wrong choices. (I ordered the book right away.)

@Ally - Thanks for your comment! I was one of those kids, waiting for the revelation I found in learning the REAL contributions of blacks in history. I was refreshed to see that all our history was dedicated to escaping slavery. Eye-opening to say the least! My book helps others to get a glimpse of that history, and ultimately makes better conservatives!

@dubby - Pass my blog along with "let me know what you guys think of this guy?" Let them decide. You will be surprised!

For sure will order my copy of your book this week. Seems like the message of your book which I hope resounds LOUDLY amongst our people...is.....No matter what hand of cards you are dealt it is up to you to play them!! So glad I connected with you on FB and I beam with pride with all that you are trying to do. Your passion is clear. You go Kev!!

@Lilith - So happy to have you own my book! The message of the book is really for conservatives to ALL get in the fight. Don't let all the "isms" that Dems put on us stop us! I PROVE that Dems are racists and elitists, and use "mi vida loca" as the backdrop for it, difference being I escaped the Democrat plantation. This book will help ALL conservatives, and they will see that my life was not wine and roses!

KJ, no wonder the libs hate you. You're proof that if you get rid of the excuses and want to do the right thing, you can and will suceed to the best of your abilities. Something the racist dems don't believe and why they think they must do cradle to grave control (and even after the grave they manage to rape you).

My father was a womanizer, drug abuser, drunkard, and abandon my mother at the age of 19 with a 2 and 4 year old to raise. I've seen my fair share to hardship and still do because of bigotry from both ends (a lot more difficult than BO or his spoiled wife can ever know). However, I, and why people never learn this is beyond me, took these lessons as what NOT to do and not do them. When my ex-wife cheated on me and left me for the bigger better deal, I still took my sperm donor's example of what not to do and now my children didn't have to pay the price and learn right from wrong even in bad situations. So, KJ, keep telling your story. It makes the racists and liberals look like the fools that they are.

@madmath1 - We have much in common my friend! Thanks for the message!

See, this is typical Conservatism at work, not blaming others or our pasts for who we have become. Only the Loony Libs do that. They hang on to past grievances and make excuses for not grabbing on to any one of a million choices and opportunites laid before us in the USA.

Well Done, Kev.

@Laurie - Thanks, I appreciate that!

Kevin-
I found your blog, book and bio via Gateway Punidt. Congratulations on your new book and an excellent blog. I intend to buy it your book. I have also recommended your blog and book to several friends here in STL, one of whom is my son-in-law who heads up a commercial a/v division here in STL. I asked him whether he knew you or had run into you in any local "bidding wars" and he said he hadn't but would like to get a chance to meet you, as would I. Let me know.
Best regards,

@Dartmouth - First, thanks for investing in my book. I think (hope) you will like it. It has gotten great reviews!

I hope your friends do as you are doing and buy it as well. I want LOTS of conservatives to read this book.

As for meeting, I'd be happy to meet you. Contact me at theblacksphere@gmail.com, and if my schedule permits we can set something up. I do need notice.

If the books are in, I will bring them, and sign them for all who attend and have purchased one.

Thanks again for such a kind offer!

Congratulations Kevin!
We are all very proud of you.
Have a great time at your upcoming convention.

Kevin I am ording your book as I said I would. Please sign it for me. I didn;t get to visit with you much Friday at the Restraunt. (The Mom) But we went to the fair grounds Saturday and you are a great speaker!!We really enjoyed it. We need this fair tax. And I think you will do alot for our conservative party. CC

@CC - Glad to have you visit the blog and to buy my book! I appreciate your comments on my performance at the Fair Tax Rally!

If this guy were literate, I might believe he wrote this book; since he isn't, I guess Glenn Beck's ghost writers wrote it for him.

Kevin: Just saw you on the Glen Beck show Saturday "looking for the racists". lol! We hear you!! I am white and I work with over 100 hard working (underpaid) black men who have to live, work, and raise their kids in Detroit - they don't want anything for free - just a chance to earn a decent living. Their lives are very hard - and they need your inspiration! I wish your book was in paperback - I would buy ten at a time and pass them out at work.

Kevin, this is really great stuff. You need a Facebook presence. It costs you nothing. The exposure to conservatives would be appreciated and well received. Congrats on the book. Keep it coming. You are an inspiration.

@Prairie Cajun - The book has been out for a while. You can buy it here http://tinyurl.com/ye6476m

Kevin, I to came from a broken home with a alcoholic father. My mother and grandmother taught me to be fair to all people, not just white people as I am white. It is refreshing to hear your thoughts as they covey the TRUE American dream of hard work and self reliance. Thank you and I hope that you plan to come to Austin, Texas sometime as all the liberals here could use a different point of view. Jeffrey

Kevin, Unlike the previous positive comments, I myself find you to be a confused young man who has no idea what it is to be a true black man. I listened to you on some call in talk show and i was saying, Is this brother for real?

@Royce - Wow I'm sure I will lose sleep over what you think of me tonight!

For the record, I get messages from people like you and I think to myself, these silly mofos are the product of "gubment" education, and what a waste of what might be a decent brain.

Thanks for stopping by. Now back to the coloring books!
