    In a moment of pique and frustration Virginia wrote an open letter to Oprah, and shared it with a few writer friends who are going through the same thing we are. Now the letter has started to go viral--getting a lot of repostings and inclusions in blogs, newsletters and on Facebook, so in case you hadn't seen it, we wanted to share our plight, the plight of many black authors with you, readers who have supported us all these years. http://twomindsfull.blogspot.com.

    In reality Oprah is just a metaphor--a name that might get this subject the attention it deserves. Because when you have a publication like Library Journal listing their 31 Best Books of 2009 http://ow.ly/HDU7 and the "genre" fiction list includes Street Lit --8 books but no category for contemporary African American writers, we are really in trouble.

    We are trying to encourage diversity in reading--we believe books should be windows, not just mirrors...

    and his sons have fought many wars defeating Masonic Slave Mastors ,
    Political Asylum Camps and Society's claiming land or power source's stolen
    from the Kings home's and secret rooms when he was tranquilized to a kid .
    Since the 1900's its been a proven fact that King Jesus Christ known in the
    1930's as Yusef or King George living in Turks & Caicos Islands as Yusef and England
    as the king at this time , he was also a child

    When family cloned this body in the 1954's and attempt to murder him he changed
    his name to Lord George Been in salute of his governing name King George .
    In the 1980's the King reached accurate age to excepted his inheritance . When
    his daughter gave him a drink that tranquilized him to a child again. Upset with
    his family the King then moved to New York . With help from his family
    who lived in America . Know the King lives in NYC taking active roles in
    company's he owns .Since 1984 baby genuis (Kevin Lee) has played a behind
