I probably would have loved this book more if I hadn't read it right after I read Kola Boof's autobiography (which was ASTOUNDINGLY and I mean SHOCKINGLY great entertainment).I'm so glad these type of books are available to us black people because we surely need it. We have a lot of serious thinking to do and I often fear that we, as a people are not gonna make it. God bless Tavis Smiley and Kola Boof for such important works that exclusively target the Black Condition in an unapologetic way. We need that.
