Tavis Smiley is a self-centered dimwit. Who is he preaching to?Why is his opinions so important? Maybe his prose would be worthy if he looked at the whole picture. His writing is his opinion. Readers buy books of quality. This is not quality it is meant to brainwash the mis-informed. This book is written like a mad man wrote it. Read at your own risk. A real waste.And Tavis Smiley views of his race is a real disgrace.
