Great read. Sweet love story about forgiveness

the worst thing facing black America is not “white supremacy” but failing schools, not “police racism” but father absence, not a racist job market but a welfare system that discourages hard work and self-sufficiency.

In 1833, Britain was the first country in the history of the world to pass a Slavery Abolition Act. They were quickly followed by France, who in 1848 re-abolished slavery to include her many colonies. Then of course came the Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. After centuries of human slavery, white men led the world in putting an end to the abhorrent practice.

First, we had slavery; second, we had the era of Jim Crow; and now, third time unlucky, we have Democrats entrancing us to their gods of welfare, poverty, and despair. We have found ourselves, yet again, in need of salvation.

The FBI’s 2018 data on homicides clearly shows that blacks do not need to be protected from white police officers—they need to be protected from themselves. Of the 2,925 blacks who were killed in 2018, 2,600 of their murderers were other blacks; only 234 were white. I need not point out the fact that even if those 234 white-on-black homicides were all committed by cops (they were not

Johnson lowered poverty rates in the black community, yes, but not by supporting black-owned businesses or addressing racist hiring practices and the racial income gap. Instead, he passed a series of bills that essentially distributed checks to struggling black families, thereby giving them the fish instead of showing them how to fish on their own.

Black America will never become prosperous via welfare and government handouts; if it were possible, it would have already happened. For too long we have been misled by Democrats, who have depended upon our votes for power.

the relationship between white and black Americans continues to fray, neither group benefiting from the resulting distance between each other. Despite the current trends and discussions, there is absolutely no proof that black Americans fare better at achieving, or are by any means safer among our own race. In fact, all evidence points to the contrary.

Couldn’t finish it.

This is a book on cd that I've listened to now for the 4th time. It's amazing and insightful and applies to my 8, and 6 year olds. All kids want is friends, fun and freedom. Anyway, listening to it again so I can be a better parent and more patient with myself and my kids.

Really working at getting thru this one. It's a bit hard to stay interested, but I feel like I'm going to get something out of it. Fingers crossed

I like it so far. Different reading a book in the form of letters. Not quite sure I'm attached to the characters, but I am enjoying the story.
