I'm not sure if either of you have read this book, but I found The Education of a WASP yesterday while wandering through the library. I highly suggest that you read it because it gives you a glimpse into how the other side thinks. Although I have little time to read for leisure at the end of a semester, I think I may finish it without having to renew.

You can get it from any book store. I just read it a few weeks ago and it took me 2 days to read it. Try looking it up on line. I remember it had alot of great reviews back in the day. Don't let the cover fool you. It's a good book tho, I loved it. If you like it we can discuss it too.
O yeah, I just read another book called Hair Story: Untangling the roots of Black hair in American. This book is very informative and it starts all the way before our ancestors were shipped here to the USA. I recommend this book for all African Americans, it informs the reader about the history of terms, good hair/bad hair and why we been trying to have straight hair since.
Sorry about the long post. I wish alot more men read...some fool told me last week I was weird cause I had brought some books to read. As Fredrick Douglas said, knowledge is power, and the best way to keep power from us was to put it in a book.
