A voice of reason.
This book was one
that
far exceeded my expectations. I came in to expecting to find the work of an elitist conservative
what
I found instead was the calm voice of an everyday normal man. He is no patsy either for slick attempts to repair race relations even going as far as to strike down idiotic proposals for reperations by arguing that both conservatives and liberals advocating reparations
are just
both plain wrong. Even if you agree with his points or not give him a chance to stake his positions, you may be surprised to find yourself agreeing with him after everything is said and done.

The True About Black America
This is a great book
that speaks
to the problems in
black America
that have been and
are still
being ignored. It tells of a race of people who were and are able to overcome the most dire circumstances. Yet, they don't take advantage of the opportunities that are available today, well written Juan Williams.

One of the Best
Juan Williams book,
Enough
, is one of the most important books to come out in the past ten years. At a time when education and determination
are vital
tools to anyone wanting to be successful in this global economy, Williams makes it clear, some so-called "
black leaders
" just don't think
that
is the case. Excuses and let's keep "looking to the past" rallies seem to be all some black leaders are willing to focus on.
This book does not shrug off racism as a problem, but it definitely uncovers the "other" issues that plague the black community. I live near Gary, Indiana, and I see the damage done when black America refuses to step up the table of responsibility. Children born to children and young men killing each other over drugs and rims have got to stop.
Williams' book is a must read for anyone truly concerned
about changing
the direction America is headed. Until the big cities in this country become safe and responsible places for blacks, whites, and any other group to live in, our economy and standard of living will never be up to
what
it could be.
This book should be in every home in America! And all Ameri
cans need
to realize that it is "our personal" responsibility to make the right decisions concerning education, work, and social attitudes.
Buy this book - you won't be sorry!

Wonderful Enough is enough!
I read this book and shouted for joy.
That
's it. Wonderful.The buck stops here. It also stops the left-wing brainwashing of schools, that many
are waking
up to now.....women and
black
s
can profit
from this book. I am tired of being a pawn for someones political gain ...bloody patronizing politicians!
ALSO PLEASE SEE>>>
see google video(Yuri Bezmenov, KGB defector explains to Edward Griffin, in an interview of 1984.The process of demoralization, destabilization of US ... all society by the use of the "active measures" by the soviet intelligence. A must see video to understand how education has failed us all and brainwashed our kids it fits in nicely with this book and politics of the left..

hits the nail on the head
This book is sensational--Juan does a great job, and his insights hit the nail right on the head; amazing--he says exactly
what
others
are either
too afraid to say, or just not insightful
enough
to see. Juan does a great job in presenting the ideologies brought forth by his so- called '
phony leaders'
. He introduces the ideas of Bill Cosby in a front and center manner. No doubt this book could cause some controversy, but Juan hits the nail on the head every sentence. A definite 'must read'!

Half a century after brave Ameri
cans took
to the streets to raise the bar of opportunity for all races, Juan Williams writes
that
too many
black
Americans
are
in crisis?caught in a twisted hip-hop culture, dropping out of school,
end
ing up in jail, having babies when they are not ready to be parents, and falling to the bottom in twenty-first-century global economic competition.
In
Enough
, Juan Williams issues a lucid, impassioned clarion call to do the right thing now, before we travel so far off the glorious path set by generations of civil rights heroes that there can be no more reaching back to offer a hand and rescue those being left behind.
Inspired by Bill Cosby?s now famous speech at the NAACP gala celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of the Brown decision integrating schools, Williams makes the case that while there is still racism, it is way past time for black Americans to open their eyes to the ?culture of failure? that exists within their community. He raises the banner of proud black traditional values?self-help, strong families, and belief in God?that sustained black people through generations of oppression and flowered in the exhilarating promise of the modern civil rights movement. Williams asks
what happened
to keeping our eyes on the prize by proving the case for equality with black excellence and achievement.
He takes particular aim at prominent black leaders?from Al Sharpton to Jesse Jackson to Marion Barry. Williams exposes the call for reparations as an act of futility, a detour into self-pity; he condemns the ?Stop Snitching? campaign as nothing more than a surrender to criminals; and he decries the glorification of materialism, misogyny, and murder as a corruption of a rich black culture, a tragic turn into pornographic excess that is hurting young black minds, especially among the poor.
Reinforcing his incisive observations with solid research and alarming statistical data, Williams offers a concrete plan for overcoming the obstacles that now stand in the way of African Americans? full participation in the nation?s freedom and prosperity. Certain to be widely discussed and vehemently debated, Enough is a bold, perceptive, solution-based look at African American life, culture, and politics today.
