Customer comments on this selection. A vital and necessary workAt a time when selective affluence, alleged equality, and proclamations of color-blindness abound, brother Demico Boothe exposes the harsh realities of life for millions of black men in America. His insights and conclusions are not drawn from the shelter of a university library or coffee shop. His life on the streets and prison is combined with a profound analysis of how white supremacy, free enterprise and violence have impacted black males in America. Boothe's perspectives may make some folks uncomfortable. But discomfort and agitation is what we need if we are to change and system that consigns black men to prison, drugs, and early death at rates much higher than college or employment. His work demands that we step forward and resolve the burning question of his book, Why ARE so many black men in prison? Very Good Read.....Teaching From it Now........This book is one that I am glad I picked up and read. I saw the cover and was intrigued by it, but even the cover doesn't do the information inside of the book justice. I am a college professor and I read the book a few months back; I am teaching from it now. Much respect to Mr. Boothe for penning such a necessary and informative piece of work, and I look forward to more fresh and insightful writings from him in the future. why are so many black men is prisonreally great and informative book. I really enjoyed reading it and mr demico boothe is a very well informed and gifted brother whom I wish all the best to.I would hope that mr boothe would view these comments. TRULY A MUST READ.....................This book should be required reading for all Americans, but especially African-Americans. Lots of knowledge and info about the subject that you won't get in the media. EVERY black person, male or female, who is in prison should read this, every drug dealer, every single mother, every gangbanger, every black congressperson and lawmaker, every black businessman, and every so-called scholar that wants to speak on the subject of criminality and imprisonment and lawmaking. This is the truth coming straight from the horse's mouth.  from a white guyIts okay black men. If you need someone to blame, blame it on my great grandfather. But you'll get no sympathy from me. Be a real man and be responsible for your own actions! |
