Amazing. If you live in a multi-racial community, this is a must read book. It's more of a personal journal, than a typical textbook. The observations are immediate and genuine. Five stars.
This book is essentially a testimonial from a credible source about the realities of race. Sometimes harsh, yet completely valid. It was very interesting hearing what black people (mostly Africans) had to say about race. There is abundant insight in this book. One of the great quotes in this book by Gedaliah Braun......
"Just because discrimination is rational does not mean that it is moral. Whether rational or not it is often painful and dehumanizing. But to say that behavior that is rational and legitimate, is immoral and therefore deserves condemnation, is patently absurd."
This is a book of such astonishing honesty and perceptivity that many readers will at first think they can't believe what they're reading. Such is the power of the political correctness that has come to be received wisdom in the west.
The author, an American living in South Africa, writes--always with empathy, but never with wish supplanting observation and reason--of group differences that simply can't be ignored or explained by culture.
The author argues, quite persuasively, that South Africans, both black and white, observe black-white differences far more clearly, and without the corrosive effect of "white guilt" than do Westerners. That, the author suggests, is a start.
For many readers--those for whom contemporary rationalization has replaced serious thought--it will take real courage to read this book. But it will be an experience that opens their eyes and permits them to see clearly for the first time.
This is not a perfect book but a very important and useful one. The author is the rarest of all creatures: a white American who is willing to speak candidly about race. Though some readers would characterize this book as "racist," the author obviously harbors no hatred for blacks. He has lived and worked for many in various African nations, and over a span of many years, he came to the reluctant conclusion that blacks IN GENERAL are not the equals of other races, and it serves no one's best interests, black or white, to pretend that they are.
Some readers will be put off by what I would call the author's homophobia, but this is not a book written by a hateful person. The Kindle version is only twelve bucks. Expose yourself to some truth about racial differences.
