I heard from my sister a little about Black people transported to America for slavery. I think this could be a Black American history this book discussed. I might be enlightened about the truth of how Black Americans were treated before and how this is going now. This is an informative read. Congratulations to the author on BOTD!

I am intrigued by this book. Black Americans have gotten the short end of the stick for a long while. The author has extreme views and influential opinions. I admire the author for defending her beliefs. Thank you for writing an insightful review!

Seems like these kinds of topics need to be discussed more to raise awareness regarding the sufferings of victims of racial and colour discrimination.

The book beautifully explains the rights of Black Americans to have the same rights and privileges as white Americans, particularly during Covid-19 when Americans lost their jobs. Thanks for the review. Strongly Recommended.

Creating awareness and promoting justice for all races is important. While it may not completely stop, it's a step in the right direction. This is a good book.

The book appears to be a call to action against racism and discrimination. In just a few pages, it provides an eye-opening peek into Black lives in America.

However, do White Americans who already have better lives get more resources and support than Black Americans? Is there more we can do to get the help and support Black Americans need to live their lives the same as White Americans? Will discrimination ever stop? Is it too much for Black Americans to expect the same rights and protection from our civil servants who have sworn to protect them? Read this book before you answer any of these questions.
This is why we all need to read this book and others about the Black experience. Because the more we understand what we can do to help (which is not always what we think) the sooner we can end the racial inequality madness.
This was a fantastic review, thank you!
