“Not as interesting as I would have thought from Rebecca considering her regular posts. But she's definitely got a first hand perspective on the problem....”
in the unusual position of being able to observe the inner-workings of race in America close-up and is now sharing these insights with a wider audience.Despite being a conservative and rejecting the social engineering programs that liberals have foisted on the world, Rebecca makes the argument that conservatives fundamentally don't "get it" when it comes to race. The relationship between white and black Americans is too often like a bad marriage; each side assumes the worst of the other and cannot seem to take the other's perspective seriously. Rebecca argues that greater empathy is the first step to finding answers to our conflicts.If you don't understand why the shooting of an unarmed kid in Florida has generated so much furor while crimes by African Americans against whites go unnoticed, this book is for you. If you can't quite understand why crime statistics don't support an knee-jerk fear of African American men, this book is for you. If you don't understand why a well-educated black man can attend a church with a man like Jeremiah Wright and not be seen as a radical, this book is for you.Or maybe you don’t understand why everyone can’t just let the race thing go or you've just never given the topic much thought or you have, but don't know how to talk about it; this book is for you too. Without shaming any one, Rebecca lays out some of the underlying issues that many people struggle to understand in a way that is accessible and even - gasp - enjoyable. Agree or disagree with her views, this is a read with stories and ideas that you will find yourself returning to again and again.Rebecca Trotter is a mom, writer, thinker, teacher, talker, Christian and odd duck. She blogs at The Upside Down World.
