this is absolutely comedy… LMAOOOO… six weeks as a negro and suddenly he’s an expert on the black experience. somehow he saw the reality of black peoples and still equated our response to white racism as the same as the unfounded and nonsensical hatred of whites.

some very good chunks, but truly, I have to wonder if some of this was not sensationalized for affect.

The courage of the author leaves one in awe, while the incisive and clear remarks give a very accurate description of the root causes of racism. How the social issue becomes more than just a social problem and how exclusion of the so called "first class citizen" by the downtrodden may be an essential step in curing the racist cancer!
