Book Reviews of "Why Are All The Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria?": A Psychologist Explains the Development of Racial Identity
Book Review: We must move on
Summary: 2 Stars
Racism and prejudice exist, but why thwart over it, it will only protract thoughts supporting these mindsets. If people thinking otherwise will just disconnect from this mindset, stop conjoining the thought, over time it shall pass unless you stay configured in it. But if you continue on giving it attention will only fuel the fire. A good fisherman goes out of his way to bait his hook with what the fish prefer-which might not be a bad tip for those who wish to succeed in human relationships. Just as in a conversation it's a good idea to listen more than you talk, it is also wise in relationships to think about the well-being of others more than you think about your own wishes and desires. When you constantly strive to treat others in the same way you would like them to treat you, you become a person whom others like to be around, one who commands their respect, confidence, and loyalty. When you learn to manage emotions and your ego, and when you learn to always consider the needs and desires of others, it is inevitable that you will "bait your hook" with kindness and consideration, and catch more friends than you can count. My philosophy is, if you're not in favor of it forget it, it tends to disappear and go away. But if you bait it, it just keeps on coming always to persist. You'll always be that person in the mirror, your semblance, but what's inside is of your control, and if you change your mindset it tends to attract like-types.Book Review: A "Must Read"
Summary: 5 Stars
This book should be required reading for every adult (and teenagers with the help of a very good teacher). It eloquently and clearly explains why White people have trouble overcoming their prejudices toward Black people and why Black people (and other people of color) tend to cluster together in settings outside of their own communities. Tatum knows how to tell stories that hit home, which makes "Sitting Together in the Cafeteria" a "page turner" that is both thought-provoking and life changing. Book Review: Great Service

Summary: 4 Stars
I believe Tatum does an excellent job in her book. There are many reviewers that say this is nothing but reverse racism, that her redefinition of the word racism is nothing but her skewed opinion is the argument of the "person who wants to go along with the conveyor belt". The offical definition of racism (according to the OED) is only 200 years and was shaped by racial relations in America and now that those racial relations have changed since the 1950's it is absolutly appropriate to alter the definition to explain the discrimination people of color feel in their everyday lives. Although I do not completly agree with how far her idea of racism goes it is absolutly true that there are negative psychological affects to people of race. Some claim she makes overly broad generalizations for the white race but I believe the only overly broad assumtion is simply that all people in America actually want a just society where sucess will actually be directly linked to meritocracy and not in this society where the color of your skin DOES set you at a disadvantage. Great book Thank you very much Dr. TatumBook Review: Review for Why Are All the Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria
