Black Like Me: Racism Is A Foolism Misunderstanding of Man All men are created equal... or are they? John Griffin’s "Black Like Me" shows how racism is nothing more then the foolish misunderstanding of man.

speech by James Baldwin gave me some ideals to contemplate. It recounted the horrors that the American “way of life” afflicted the African American populous. Furthermore‚ Baldwin connects the American “way of life” to how “it is the American white man who has long since lost his grip on reality.”(p.128) Truly‚ this is not a speech intended for school teachers‚ but an explanation of how racism forced children to believe the lies; the lies about their humanity.
