I can't believe I actually read this book in its entirety, however I was compelled to finish it because the author is so outlandish. I feel this author is a racist and only wants to blame others, instead of offering rational solutions to the problem. The few solutions he did provide would only perpetuate segregation in our country.
The last chapter of the book did offer a few key pieces of advice to parents that as an educator myself do support. They include: visiting the school your child attends, making sure homework is completed daily, cutting back on television, talking with your child about respect, sex, drugs, etc., and teaching them about money. All key pieces of advice to parents when raising ANY child (not just African American).
