The ghost of the plantation in my opinion is the lingering effects of what slavery did to the African American people as a whole. It had a huge impact on their minds which, in turn, spanned generations. Akbar explains that work, property, leadership, clowning and personal inferiority are the ghosts that still haunt African Americans today. Akbar's vision of African Americans and work is not a concrete topic for me because the majority, regardless of race, in my opinion, would rather relax than perform strenuous activities to enjoy the pleasures that the world has to offer while obtaining a certain amount of currency. Work is still a punishment for everyone, a necessity to keep the world functioning and operating accordingly. Furthermore, if anyone is developing “get rich quick schemes”, it is Caucasians who advertise them on the market. Another issue is to entirely discuss the ignorance of African Americans in purchasing the products sold. As a result, when it comes to African Americans and the prospects of ownership, many can agree with Akbar. I have personally seen this happen numerous times in my hometown. For example, property is considered a status symbol. Therefore, owning a climb is a sign that indicates your importance. In a way, you really have to do something productive in life to get such extravagant benefits. It is also interesting that Akbar points to slaves receiving old clothes from their previous masters because in a similar way to when they received them as children. As a result, leadership in America is a curious escape from African-Americans. Interestingly enough in earlier years, when African Americans first developed by including more African Americans in the government, Akbar addresses the following questions: "Are African Americans still slaves?" "Why can't blacks be together?" “What is the psychological consequence for whites and blacks of imagining God as Caucasian?” Throughout the dynamic book I enjoyed thinking about how individual psychology is passed on intergenerationally and how this impacts our society as a whole, and vice versa. He had an incredibly speculative victim theory with a deep perspective on modern-day assumptions. Dr. Akbar throughout the novel highlights this issue clearly and simply. Until you know what the problem is, you can't really find a cure. The plantation ghost, effects that still contribute to how African Americans are viewed by themselves and others, uses aspects such as labor, property, leadership, clowning, and personal inferiority to continue to haunt African Americans today.
