Summary: What about black racism?
Comment: I'd like books out there to discuss the dangers of anti-white predjucie. I'd like books out there that show it is just as racist to stereotype whites as it is to stereotype blacks or jews. As for the 'white power' reviewer-he is obviously a racist, a self hating white person. As well, calling Hispanics a 'race' is nonsense. There are hispanics who are white, and there are hispanics who are black. There are Italians who are white, and there are Italians who are black.
This typical 'white men are all racist' book reminds me of a quote from the movie, Lean on Me. Morgan Freeman is standing in front of a group of inner city kids, to which he says, "If you do not suceed in life, I don't want you to blame the white man. I don't want you to blame your parents. I want you to blame yourselves. The responsibility is yours." That line alone should already mean something for all of us.

Summary: A New Edition--Great!
Comment: When I began reading the previous edition a few years ago, I realized that I wanted to discuss it with other white people as I worked through the exercises.
As a result five women in leadership roles in their church congregations discussed this book over lunches over some months. It took as many lunches as there are chapters. We learned much about ourselves as white women and much about the history of racism in the United States.
I continue to look for ways to share the impact of this book with others. I am pleased that there is a new edition and look forward to seeing what has made this very useful book even better.

Summary: In Response to Reader from U.S.A. : Dangerous
Comment: The reader who wrote that the book was dangerous obviously has a problem accepting reality. After reading the book for myself and seeing what they wrote, I wonder if he/she is racist. If they accept that racism is prevalent in this country... who are the racist and who is being plagued by the racism? Whoever is suffering from the plague ( minorities ) the other race who is spreading it needs to step in and stop it:The notion that is asserted in the book. A doctor with Ebola cannot save a patient with Ebola. I have a hard time understanding why the reader thinks that each race should isolate themself from others and lend no assistance.
