How Do You See Reading is a critical question that can be seen as casual yet pregnant and worth asking.
Not being good at reading is forming a black man’s way of doing things (culture). It is a poor reading culture if people find reading as punishment, manual hard labour, non-exciting and non-energizing. A saying has it, “If you want to hide something from a black man, put it inside a book (text), he’ll not see it”.
WHY?
It is assumed most black men will not turn the pages of books to read them. Thinking to a black man has more audience than reading. As a public speaker, I can give you my research findings for free: As bad as poor thinking and bad reading are in our society, more think than read. It is getting worse in this millennium age: millennials don’t read as interested as to pass exams and then social media. The decadence started 40 years ago. 
WHY?
Many. In the course of my work as a public speaker, educator, and developer, it bothers me the virus that has eaten up African reading culture, the birthplace of civilization (Egypt).

- Knowing the purpose of reading; the original intended intent of reading.
- The making of our world, the world of videos, photos, colors, and colour-shows, and less of messages and principles.…
