It Ain't All Good: Why Black Men Should Not Date White Women10 reviews
John Johnson

African American Images, 2004

Not just men

+ John Johnson is 110% Correct!!!

The problem with this book is that it is focused on African American men. Though at a lesser rate, African American women are also dating EuroAmerican men. Some claim that this is a reaction to African American men dating outside of their community, maybe, maybe not. Regardless, I think women ...

Three Rivers Press, 2007

A voice of reason.

+ hits the nail on the head

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 ...

Black Men and Depression: Saving our Lives, Healing our Families and Friends1 review
John Head

Harlem Moon, 2005

good subject, but preaching to choir?

The author recounts how a prominent civil rights figure foolishly stated, "No black committed suicide until integration." The supposed leader then goes on to name at least three brothers whom he knew that did kill themselves. Head protects this person's privacy, but I wish he had named the person ...

Come Out of Her My People4 reviews
C. J. Koster

Institute for Scripture Research Ltd., 2004

You want the truth? You can't handle the truth!

+ Come out of her my people
+ Scripture over Tradition.

The previous reviewer, "Roy" obviously approaches this text from the "cheap seats" as opposed to the "playing field" of textual and biblical criticism. The assertions set forth by Koster in Come Out of Her My People as they relate to language, custom and tradition are true. What has been spoonfed ...

Black Men: In Their Own Words1 review

Crown, 2002

Famous black men speak for multiple purposes and audiences.

Two female editors of Essence magazine, a publication for black women, produce this anthology of writings from black men. Because of this, I get the sense that the book is intended for readers of various genders. (And let's face it, women are more interested in studying how men think and what ...
