He has lived his life in both worlds. Black and White. Neither has done much for him. And yes, the racism is on both sides. We just mostly hear about the side with all the power.<br /><br />I thoroughly loved your book review though. :o)Deborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16370393893728279355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-143485269626703118.post-20915928492176172662012-07-05T09:16:41.566+10:002012-07-05T09:16:41.566+10:00And educate our kids, too, I think,Jehane.And educate our kids, too, I think,Jehane.Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09573473465011631325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-143485269626703118.post-26911866936525417612012-07-05T09:13:46.184+10:002012-07-05T09:13:46.184+10:00Oh Jeanne!

For some reason politics does not make for good poetry!<br /><br />As you know this is our backyard & there is another side to this story ~as there always is with history. It is never balck & white but always shades of grey.<br /><br />Straddie has their own schools but they are almost empty because so many people, both black & white, choose to send their kids to the mainland to school, away from the racism & political inferno. Speak to the white teachers. They can tell you horror stories about reverse racism.<br /><br />And yet it is gospel simple. We all need to forgive & move on, walking in love towards each other. Until we choose to do that the hatred will persist unto thhe next generation.Ganeidahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17176246964466185315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-143485269626703118.post-2949920081185565252012-07-05T09:06:53.755+10:002012-07-05T09:06:53.755+10:00I love it when you give such honest reviews!I love it when you give such honest reviews!Autismland Pennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06394505053803936255noreply@blogger.com
