Book Description

July 2003
"Most people, when they hear the word prejudice, think of racism. But you could be prejudiced against a fat person or a short person or a poor person -- any person, place, thing, time, or event."

"I think that the majority of blacks always take everything that happens to them from a racial point of view. We have learned how to be like this. We have learned to be afraid of what we don't know."

"I also think we chose to live this lesson because of who we were in our past lifetime. And I am going to explain why I say this. Chances are you were totally opposite in your last lifetime from who you are today. This is when the question inevitably arises: How do we define ourselves; what are we, really, beyond all the facades and games that we play?"

"This is what I have learned."

-- Sir Robert D. Jones, Jr.


Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

Many people say it is easy reading. It makes you contemplate things you never contemplated before, and once you pick it up you cannot put the book down. It helps you look at your own prejudice.

From the Author

This book is to help people understand that whatever hardships or challenges they created in their lives that they can overcome them all, and they do not have to accept suffering and being a victim of their own creation. If I did it, anybody can do it.

5.0 out of 5 stars If it's a little painful, if it angers a bit, look at it ..., September 25, 2003

This review is from: The Truth Behind Racism (Paperback)
So honestly written this book cannot offend anyone. It is a loving hand extended to help us see and achieve freedom from old attitudes. Many which are not even our own, but handed down like worn-out garments which we continue to wear seldom thinking about it, or questioning the possibility of creating bright new ones for ourselves. Sir Robert is a wonderful example of what we are capable of, regardless our environment or lack of support. This story is inspiring, it may make you look at yourself, but don't turn away. There's a great road ahead.

5.0 out of 5 stars About racism, the truth., September 10, 2003
By 
Marian Clements (Rainier, Washington) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Truth Behind Racism (Paperback)
This book is gutsy and truthful-- written by a black man who has experienced racism from all sides. He sheds new light on an old issue not only from several generations but several lifetimes. His insights are amazing and his willingness to share from his own life is courageous. This is a good little handbook for irradicating prejudice of all sorts.

5.0 out of 5 stars Uncommon and Frank Truth, August 18, 2003
This review is from: The Truth Behind Racism (Paperback)
Per Oxford geneticist and author Bryan Sikes' reseach, he states that there is no genetic basis for ANY ethnic or racial classification. Now comes a book about how race is a "program" and how peoples of the world are divided because of skin color, and taught to be victims, from the leaders of these groups. "The Truth Behind Racism" by Sir Robert Jones has a title says it all as Sir Robert unmasks with uncommon candor and bravery a subject that is still an undercurrent in a supposedly modern society. Sir Robert urges all of us to remove the chains of ignorance that has divided this nation far too long. A must-read that you will want for a reference in your home in the days to come.
