Review of Mixed Blessings
J.M. Muse wrote this book, Mixed Blessings, about children of different races who are discriminated against, with the pain of being dominated by another race as part of the feeling they have to live with throughout their stay in America. Michael Kublai Khan, a black pastor, was a God-ordained minister from Jeremiah's temples. He was unhappy about being governed and subjugated by another race in America, so he created a scheme to make African ancestral mocha females. The Reverend Tucker Dalton, on the other hand, was anti-anything to do with anyone who wasn't white. This collision of interests will take you on a crazy adventure that you will not want to miss. You'll find out who the winner is after you get your hands on a copy of this book.
Within 45 chapters, this fictitious work was fast-paced and well-structured, with a location in the United States. The plot was well-developed, and the characters grew in-depth as the story progressed. Race, religion, justice, politics, and love are all intertwined in this tale. Throughout the book, there were several parts in which the author introduced a new idea or notion. As a result, the study shows how whites and blacks perceive each other. The exploitation of race by two faiths to gain political and financial power and fortune was also documented in this book.
What I liked best about this book was how it highlighted the damage racism has done to our planet. The novel demonstrates how far black people are willing to go to achieve equality with whites. The narrative both illuminates and criticizes prejudice. I really like the book's atmosphere and the interactions between the characters throughout the plot.
I don’t like how Pastor Dalton uses the Bible to justify the injustice he wants to extend to the murders of mixed-race children. I didn't like how Kimberly was depicted either. Despite the fact that Kimberly was supposed to be in Mexico for a week, the author only covers her first night there. The author did not cover all of the events of the week. I believe it would have helped the reader better comprehend Kimberly's personality.
I am rating this book a perfect 4 out of 4 stars. A lot of thought was put into the author's approach to teaching us about subjects that we're already familiar with. It didn't discourage me from reading the book despite the fact that I found a few typos. Because of this, I wouldn't give it a lower rating.
Anyone interested in the history of racism in the United States should read this book.
