Hutchinson's book is one in a million. As a concerned African-American trying to learn how to make it our society, the book is a an eye-opener and a reinforcement of some of the same values I hold dear. In some of the chapters of "Crisis in Black and Black", Hutchinson brings to the reader's attention issues that most of us have proabably never thought of before (if we honestly look at ourselves they are true, whether we wish to admit them or not). There are more of us who are "conservative" and if we look at the admired "radicals" of the 1960s and previous ages, we see that what they have said is exactly what the "sell outs" have said. I would have given the book five stars, but there was one chapter in his book that I strongly disagreed with, and it had to do with Black gays. (Forgive me, Mr. Hutchinson, I guess my "fundamentalist Christian" views just won't allow me to buy what you wrote) Other than that, it is an eye-opener worth reading.

This is the type of book that all black people should "Buy" if they have any shred of a social conscience in thier bones.
