Race Manners: Navigating the Minefield Between Black and White Americans
by Bruce A Jacobs
On This Page
Description
"In the wake of 9/11, confronting race relations in American is as daunting as it is necessary. Race Manners shows us how we can begin a civilized, meaningful dialogue-not with evasive abstractions, but with practicality and candor. The second edition, completely revised and updated, is a guide to improving race relations."--From source other than the Library of CongressTags

His heart's very much in the right place, and there's a lot of sense in what he says, but I can't really gauge to what extent he's *right* (like when he talks about healthy ways for Black people to view insults from whites) and to what extent he's actually just perpetuating a problem. It is indeed a balancing act. Most of his comments to white people are well taken, though.
