I decided to read this book for a different perspective. As soon as I open the first chapter the opinions came flying out. This is a very left-wing opinionated book. It talks much about how problems of minorities have little to do with their own actions but the fault of white people. This takes the responsibility away from people whose life needs improving and blames others for it in a very destructive way. I can agree with the author on some points about the failing system of democracy that we have in the United States however, he pins all the problems to white landowners in the Colonial Era. Very radical, but not in a good way. I would not waste your, money on this author if I were you.
