I could hear a voice at the edge of my consciousness. It was deep‚ and commanding‚ like a narrator’s. I strained my ears to hear. But it was not enough. The voice was coming closer‚ yet I could not see where it was coming from. I looked to my surroundings. The round walls were oak brown‚ and the floor was spongy‚ like lush grass. I looked to the ceiling‚ it was a forest green. The voice was now close enough for me to hear. “Brave Cycad. You have slept for a long time. Wake.” It called. “I must teach

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. White’s current superiority hangs in the balance as Blacks become tired of being the minority‚ in the late 1950’s. Even though this struggle isn’t as dreadful as it was then‚ it still exists. The certainty of racism can’t be ignored but it will soon disappear as generations mix. Racial

Sinners Like Me “And when the doctor smacked him‚ you can bet your ass he took a swing‚ ‘cause he comes from a long line of sinners like me.” That line‚ that song‚ it’s all so true.

Another reason why this book held me back from rating
