A White Man’s Perspectives on Race and Racism by Zephareth Ledbetter is a sociopolitical narrative on race relations in America. The author expresses his views on salient issues like immigration, cultural appropriation, police encounters, affirmative action, and many more. Analyzing the prevalent concept of racism in the United States from a centrist standpoint, he seeks to identify its underlying causes and proposes strategies for addressing them. He clearly expresses his views, urging readers to take an honest look at their actions and how they are perceived by others, regardless of their intentions. To understand the author's perspective on racial relations and its impact on America as a whole, this book is a must-read for you.
 
This author offers readers a platform to examine issues with neutrality, presenting his views based on life experiences, upbringing, and available statistics. He believes that matters are not simply black or white, advocating for scrutinizing actions through the lens of intentions and perceived acceptance. One notable solution he proposes is the adoption of the provincial nominee program in the United States to address the immigration crisis. Unlike those who support open borders or building walls, he takes a nuanced stance, seeking a balanced approach to immigration in America.
 
It's truly captivating. Beyond the author's candid narrative, he issues a call to action and outlines practical steps to eliminate racism. It goes beyond theory, offering a reality check on how America has addressed race relations and the imperative to improve. The book challenges the effectiveness of past solutions, emphasizing the necessity to explore alternative approaches in the quest to eradicate racism.
 
There was nothing to dislike about the book; it was genuinely educational and innovative. The book provided a clear and concise perspective without ambiguity, addressing issues directly. I commend the editor for excellent editing, as there were no typographical errors.
 
I rate the book 5 out of 5 stars for the author's boldness and initiative in addressing race relations and racism. I recommend this book to anyone interested in the sociopolitical development of America, regardless of race. It is suitable for both black and white readers, as well as anyone seeking insights into race relations in the United States. Additionally, I suggest using this book in educational institutions for studies on the subject.

I think the author's centrist standpoint will be important as such views always cause a divide between the right- and left-wing people. The exceptionally editing came as a bonus, indeed. Thank you for this amazing review.

Racism is a curse for modern society and it has deep roots in the minds of some people who show hate and enmity for other racial groups. This book seems to present an understanding in this matter. Thanks for a nice review.
