Book Review: A Lucid Example of Brilliance
Summary: 5 Stars
From the inception of this brilliantly written and factually supported book to its final chapter emanate truth and Logic. Mr Elder never fails to take on the Status quo and hit hard when it comes to the so-called popular ideology of many segments of our society and its cultural leaders. Perhaps the most profound achievement of this book is its ability to argue against the popular maxims and paradigms put forth by many Minority and Politcal Figures. The old adage goes" Many people simply beleive what they are told", Mr. Elder's wisdom and significance ask the reader to question popular ideology and to embrace the possibilities in a world where many obstacles abound. Objectivity needs to be the most important tool with which we deal with persons in positions to influence cultural thought and its advancement. While Mr. Elder may have his detractors, his fervor for the benefit of mankind comes forth in his eloquent arguments about the need for responsible decision making on daily issues. Particularly overwhelming is the common sense approach of the author to the advancement of thought and action in our dealings with many societal short comings. The Social commentary in this book comes from a man who has truly walked a mile in the shoes of a very experienced individual. While overcoming many of the hardships and problems common to Black Youth, Larry Elder shines as a beam of perseverance and success in an otherwise dim world.The reader will emerge from the pages of this book a more aware and educated individual, which is the aim of any great author. This book treads where others fear to go, directly upon the grounds so sacred and untouchable to many genuine cultural commentators: The myths of Affirmative Action Efficacy, The effects of wide-spread Racism, and the need for tax-spend-regulate answers to many political questions.A true intellectual will find this a must read, and a true humanitarian will put its principles into action in his/her dealings with people of all colors and creeds.
