Blackbooks?

REALity · #1 06-10-2004

Greetings everyone, I have a question about what kind of books we read. I noticed that the majority of the books that are read and written about through the posts on this site are the pro black books by black authors. I opened the Isis papers, as my friend let me borrow, and I didn't feel much love coming from the words on the pages (papers). True I didn't read the entire book, nor did I read a significant portion, but what I did read (the part about her Cress Theory) was not where I wanted to go with my personal development. Does anyone who has read the entire book think that she might hate white people? Let me ask this question. Why is it that we devote most of our reading to black perspectives and opinions? Or is there anyone who has read something else just as valid and would like to bring that to light?

I haven't read the Isis Papers...but seems like I need to pick it up...so many people have said read it.... maybe we'll save this post for if the book club reads the book.

I read this book and personally I dont think that she HATES white people....but the book made me think....Another book that you should read is From *****s to Gods pt. 1 and 11

Then come back and ask some questions.
