Book Reviews of Come on, People: On the Path from Victims to Victors
Book Review: Just Getting Started but looks great
Summary: 4 Stars
I just bought this book off of the bargain table at a local book store. I am only a little ways into it but so far I am impressed. My concern, though, is that those most likely to benefit from this book will never read it or even find out about it.
Based on what little I have read, I would recommend this book to those who have become tired of the race hucksters (Sharpton & Co.) and would like to read some good ideas about what needs to be done to improve the lot of minorities in the inner cities.
One minor criticism: I haven't quite read a third of the book and Cosby has mentioned "institutional racism" twice. Rubbish! Institutional racism does not exist. Cosby should leave such nonsense to the Left.
Summary of Come on, People: On the Path from Victims to Victors
Bill Cosby and Alvin F. Poussaint have a powerful message for families and communities as they lay out their visions for strengthening America, or for that matter the world. They address the crises of people who are stuck because of feelings of low self-esteem, abandonment, anger, fearfulness, sadness, and feelings of being used, undefended and unprotected. These feelings often impede their ability to move forward. The authors aim to help empower people make the daunting transition from victims to victors. Come On, People! is always engaging, and loaded with heart-piercing stories of the problems facing many communities.Motivational Books
