Capitalist Nigger: The Road to Success, a Spider-Web Doctrine is the title of a controversial book by African Sun Times publisher/editor-in-chief, Dr. Chika Onyeani.

Du Bois, Frantz Fanon, Marcus Garvey, Steve Biko, Ezekiel Mphahlele, Thabo Mbeki, and Malcolm X.

The basis of Onyeani's argument is that Blacks must mimic Asian people and adopt what he calls a "spider-web doctrine".

You have to admire the courage of the small group of diabolical individuals who set out to invade Africa and take our people as slaves.

[2] It relies heavily on out-of-date racial stereotypes of Black, Caucasian, Jewish, Chinese, Japanese and Indian peoples.

Specifically, author Onyeani's argument relies on dubious stereotypes, that blacks are "lazy" and that Indians are successful and entrepreneurial.

Onyeani ignores the wealth divide in China and India, nations he deems successful because of their accomplishments in the manufacture of goods.

In an article in the South African weekly Mail & Guardian, he commented that the success of Indian society can be shown because "In India, the larger part of the population is still poor.

"[3] A few of his most inaccurate comments and racial stereotypes include: "In Africa there are more Mercedes Benz, BMW (sic) and Jaguars than there are people."

One notable contradiction is when he calls for adoption of the spider web doctrine, but then cautions successful 'capitalist niggers' (like himself) to keep other Blacks at arm's length.

[1] Stereotypes include the exceptional intelligence and capability of the Jews, the industrious nature of Asians, and the "killer instinct" and "devil-may-care" tenacity of Caucasians.

"[4] A review article in the Financial Mail by Dr Stella M Nkomo (Professor of Management at the University of South Africa's Graduate School of Business Leadership) levied heavy criticism at Onyeani.
