Title: what a disappointment
Review: What an awful book and what a letdown after hearing her interview on NPR where Angela Nissel apppeared like a humorous, open and light hearted person, none of which turned out to be true. After liking the first few chapters, it became very clear to me how race obsessed the author really is. There is a loooot more to life than the color of your skin and I found it extremely depressing that she is very biased against white folks. It is clear that she her disappointment about her white father having left her family has turned into irrational and often absurd prejudices against all white people. Her entire outlook on life is through the race lens; the author's generally high level of self absorbtion yields a potent mix that is not far from bigotry and racism.Keep in mind that I really wanted to like this book, too bad; I hope for Angela to find a white true friend that will open her eyes to the real world.
