Review of The False Color Divide
The False Color Divide by Robert Albert Aymar is a book that aims to enlighten the world about a subtle act of racism that the world has not been aware of to date.
The author, Robert, is a mixed-race American. He is half German and half American. In this book, the author started with the knowledge of the "false color divide" by talking about the cover art and asking readers what their perception was of the art. He introduced to his readers, the notion of adding color statements on all application forms and files. He touched on the fact that the natives are Indian and that they actually migrated to America, unlike the popular belief that they originated from America. He rounded up his book by talking about "White Lie" and if we can manage change if it comes.
The False Color Divide by Robert Albert Aymar is non-fiction that touches on a topic that has been neglected or, perhaps, sensitive to the public to this date. He made me understand that we humans are the creators and originators of the divide that has been ravaging humanity to date.
Robert made me understand that the idea of naming people or races according to color is totally unnecessary and racist. The so-called white people have regarded or categorized themselves as being supreme or more intelligent than other races. This is an idea that is still widely believed to date, unfortunately, and it's even being passed down to future generations. Robert made me understand that humanity should regard itself based on individualism and not on skin color, which is not even accurate. Black people are not even black, white people do not have a white skin tone, and neither do the natives have red skin.
I love the fact that the author tried not to mix his religious beliefs with his ideas and concepts in this book. This is a really wise motive, basically because religious readers can read and learn from the book.
However, a dislike I have for this book is the fact that it was not professionally edited. It was poorly edited, and I found it really difficult to understand some of the sentences. The author's failure to edit this book would affect the rating for this book. For this reason, I would give this book a rating of 3 out of 4 stars. I would recommend this book to people who love books that touch on sensitive times in society.
