Book Review: Anger
Summary: 3 Stars
The book is depressing. Demeaning. I did not enjoy it that much, but I'm sure it was not written to be entertaining. Yet, it is a must read for all young Black males. Despite his accomplishments while incarcerated, I am angry with this Stanley Tookie Williams as well as with the thousands of other Stanley Tookie Williams' living out their lives in prisons all over the United States. In them, I see fathers, sons, brothers, and uncles who could have been...should have been, were it not for one stupid mistake, one bad judgment call that cost them their entire lives. It is useless to hope that young Black men will look at his example, look at the system under which they live, and run in the opposite direction. Perhaps a handful will, but countless thousands of others will not. And whose legacy is that? Therein lies my anger. Tookie...another beautiful black man who, under other circumstances, might have been a good husband, father, mentor. Not just his family, friends, but I myself will weep for him, mourn his demise...in anger.
