Book Reviews of A Dream Deferred: The Second Betrayal of Black Freedom in America
Book Review: Thought provoking and encourages new thinking.
Summary: 5 Stars
Mr. Steele has made me re-think the wisdom of blindly accepting the "party line" of black politics in America. I do not agree with all of his ideas. However, many of his views are worthy of careful consideration by blacks and white. Regretably, many blacks will not even listen [and do not want others to listen] to alternative views like those expressed by Mr. Steele. Mr. Steele should continue to make us think critically about other views of this thorny issue. I find Mr. Steele to be brilliant and a valuable asset to the black intelligentsia in America and the world. Keep up the good work. I am black person who has lived all my life in the "slavery border" State of Missouri (where active racism is alive and well). I have never thought of myself as a conservaitve. However, I look forward to reading and purchasing other books written by Mr. Steele in the future.
