Query: Finally, people are waking up!

John McWhorter is one courageous Black intellectual who dares to look at his own people in an honest, critical manner. In order to push Black America forward, the real causes of poor performance in Black society must be clearly identified, which John McWhorter indeed does do. I've read web posts about John's book where people have said things like "I read the first xxx pages and threw it in the trash." After reading John's book, I can only say that those people are typical of that part of Black America (and even White America) who only wish to continue looking at Black American society through the lens of Victimology. You really need to be able to remove yourself from what you've always believed to be "true" about Black America if you are going to get anything out of this book, and if you are really going to be able to help yourself.
