Vanilla Is Not the Only Flavor: The Re-Education of America

By Compton T Dodson

Right now, American citizens are consuming lies. The dominant party in American politics is using a number of schemes to disseminate falsehoods throughout the country. While race relations are coming to a head, the news is more concerned about vilifying individuals of the black community than showing them as victims. Lynching and other hate crimes are still perpetrated on American soil, and the politicians in charge simply don't care.

Poet and activist Compton T. Dodson wants to get the word out. His new collection of political poems speaks directly to readers, both black and white. In direct verse, he expounds on a number of topics important to American politics. He covers the exploitation of black athletes, the effects of Colin Kaepernick's NFL demonstration, the apathy of major politicians, the hypocrisy of the "MAGA" crowd, and other important issues.

His words will spark outrage and stir passions. His work serves as a rallying call for change and improvement on every level of American government.

In addition to politics, Dodson also offers his thoughts on community, family, relationships, and God and his vision for the future
