5/5 No Compromise is an African centered perspective on solving the x factor in the human equation: 3/5 slave + x = 5/5 whole human beings, for Black Americans, specifically, and Black people world wide in general. The book written by Jeff Weaver, is inspired and driven by the divine wisdom of Almighty God, the African Forces (Lwa, Orisa, Obosum) / Holy Spirit and the ancestors. The premise of 5/5 No Compromise is to establish the fact that: 1) The United States Constitution codified the value of Black lives, in Article I. Section 2, Chapter 3 (more popularly known as the "3/5 Clause") as "3/5 of a person." A codification which has never been, expressly, amended or eradicated; and 2) in order for Black victims of the trans Atlantic slave trade, white supremacy and colonialism to establish their genuine human status they must embrace their own traditions, customs and culture, in an autonomous mutual respect based co-existence with their former slave masters and governors. Furthermore, in order to connect the various "splinters" of Black sub-cultures that exist in the US and globally, there must be an establishment of the one cultural thread that exist in common with the genetic heredity of the people in question. For Black Americans and Black people, worldwide, that common cultural thread is the drum pulse which originated in Africa. It is the one cultural element that is powerful and consistent, wherever Black people are heavily populated in the world. The author, Jeff Weaver calls that thread, "drum centered culture" and has identified it as the key element in sowing together the global cultural fabric that will restore Black people to a 5/5 autonomous culture of thriving human beings, with lives that matter.
