Negative Positive
Title: No sure if I agree with McWorther
Review: After veiwing a recent segment of C-Span's Booknotes which featured Mr.McWorther and his recent book "Authentically Black", I can't understand this book's main purpose. I'm in agreement with at least 30% of material and facts listed in the book, but the author's way off base on main issues. This book's great if you want to impress your assimilating friends or right wing wannabes.Also in the C-Span interview I noticed Mr.McWorther's negative comments about his parents showed the lack self esteem which happens to be reflected in his writings. On a lighter note, I see a future Ralph Waldo Emerson, Skip Gates, even a Bayard Rustin (which I'm a huge fan). What is it with the California emulation movement,with members such as Wade Connerly, Larry Elder, Jesse Lee Peterson. I'm currectly reading a copy of " The American Directory of Certified Uncle Toms" and John H. McWorther wasn't listed and I wonder why.
Is the review positive or negative?
