<p>The description
for <strong>Black People: The Losing Race</strong> on Amazon says: “This book takes a
deeper look as to why black nations are failing. It is a call to action for every
person of colour to get up and make themselves great again.”</p>

<p>Burton, who
is known for his roles in <strong>Real Friends</strong> and <strong>Ghett’a Life</strong>, explained
that when he went to Ghana for <strong>Joseph</strong>, his eyes were opened to the beauty,
rich culture and wealth of the African continent. However, that visit also
opened his eyes to other realities, especially in the western world. </p>

<p>“I take a look at the progress we’ve made as a people, and I don’t think it’s great,” Burton told <strong>BUZZ</strong>. “I think most of it is our fault because we are easily bought, easily persuaded and easily led. I feel like we are losing because we don’t understand that with unity comes strength. And black people as a whole, we are divided.”</p>
