Cuz: An American Tragedy by Danielle S. Allen

5.0

I wish this book were required reading for anyone running for public office, for all business owners regardless of income, for all judges and law enforcement officers. I think it contains useful information for educators too, however, as an educator I think we're more in tune with some of the dangers kids face growing up.
I wish that the CEOs and business owners make their money of those of us who purchase their products. Without us, they are absolute NOBODIES. Allen makes an excellent example of how messed up the legal system is when it is about drug trafficking and I think the same case can be made for the very wealthy and the rest of us.
Once again I have to say that the fearful, wealthy, white men look only at themselves and how to protect what they have. When can the tables be turned?
Allen addresses so much in her book, the legal system, the War on Drugs, poverty, abuse, that I have lots of different thoughts. I don't know what to do about the sense of frustration I feel. I thank her for writing this book.
