About MeShorn Daniels, The Author of "I Am Not Your Black, America!" I am a descendant of American Slaves (not "black"). I was raised in Miami, Florida. My mother was the greatest influence in my life; she discouraged me from relying on traditional irresponsible indoctrinations. She wanted me to become a responsible man; therefore, she made sure that I get recruited into the Army and serve as a non-commissioned officer which lasted for 21 years. I had lived a life of isolation as a teenager, distrusting people, religions, and races. However, the Army taught me to trust my fellow soldiers. When I came back from Army Service, I realized that the community I was raised in had sold its soul in exchange for the nostalgia of supposed greatness in the past in the remote continent of Africa, trying to disown the fact that the American Slave ancestors' suffering was what led to them having such abundance of privileges in America. Then, I looked at the possibility of getting into the medical field, although I had become discouraged since the career counselor warned me of my low aptitude test score in the Army. So, I decided to re-educate myself and re-create myself, which ultimately led me to become a surgical technologist for 40 years. In 2006, I started researching the true identity of my ancestors, and I came across Dr. Norris Shelton's "America's Little Black Book". That was when I realized my slave ancestors were not simply brought from Africa, rather they were bred like cattle and industrialized by the dominant majority culture and powers.
