Blackness, Insurance Risk, and the Hidden Race Tax is both a reference manual and an investigation. It exposes how Blackness has been structurally coded as risk - from Lloyd's underwriting of slave ships to modern insurance, finance, and policing. Through history, law, theology, and comparative analysis, this book shows that the so-called "neutral" systems of the modern world hide a permanent race tax. Proxies like postcode, credit score, health data, and sovereign ratings quietly reproduce the same inequalities once enforced by explicit racial taxation. IC3 Crime Scene Investigators (IC3CSI) present the evidence: Lloyd's of London and the Zong case - enslaved Africans treated as insurable cargo.Car insurance in Black postcodes - higher premiums without ever asking about race.African sovereign debt - inflated costs through "instability" ratings.The Race Disparity Unit rebranded as the Race Equality Unit - symbolic change without structural transformation.Comparative structures - how the Arab slave trade embedded classification systems alongside the Atlantic trade.The conclusion is uncompromising: the world, as constructed, is anti-Black by nature. Its civil service coding systems are brittle, permanent, and resistant to reform. Governments rebrand with rhetoric, but the foundations remain intact. Yet this book does not call for destruction. It calls for construction. If Black people are unhappy with this world, the solution is not to destroy it but to build our own. Using parts of the current system, the IC3 and IC6 must construct an alternative world order - the IC3 Black State/Crown - where Blackness is sovereign and protected. Blackness, Insurance Risk, and the Hidden Race Tax is a guide, a record, and a roadmap. It is both evidence and blueprint for building beyond a world that taxes Blackness invisibly.
