What is the Devaluation Triangle you ask? To understand the
Devaluation Triangle, you must first be able to define Devaluaton.
Devaluation is Slavery's Legacy. What is Slavery's Legacy you ask? Slavery's
Legacy (i.e., Devaluation) is: "A Black Life is Less Valuable than a White
Life." The Devaluation Triangle refers to the three ways in which Whites
apply Slavery's Legacy (i.e., Devaluation) to Blacks. The Devaluation
Triangle is applied by Whites in the three following ways: Hate,
Indifference & Ignorance (H2I).

In order to fully appreciate my little theory, you must first see it
in "real life" terms. White Men Can't Hump will do just that, by taking a
close look at the three-sides of the Devaluaton Triangle, one side at a
time. First, here's a quick overview of Hate, Indifference and Ignorance
(H2I).
They feed off of each other.
They are distinctly different by definition.
They are strikingly similar in application.
They are definitely similar in their impact.
These three words (H2I) often go unrecognized by those who apply
them, and are often misrecognized by those on the receiving end. White Men
Can't Hump will approach these three words like a Paramedic, and look at the
signs and symptoms of each, and then try to figure out the illness. After
this chapter you'll be able to diagnose Hate, diagnose Indifference, and
diagnose Ignorance, because you'll know the signs and symptoms.
