White Men I Love: White Men I Hate

Chuck Snowden has done an excellent job of relating his own life experiences to the central theme of this book: that all men (well most) are inherently good. Snowden, who came from a fatherless boyhood, grew up under the direction of many teachers and coaches, most of whom were white, and all of whom treated him fairly. Indeed, some were highly inspirational, namely his high school football coach Roy Lester. From the perspective of a African American, Snowden provides many insights about several different historical figures that may have gone unnoticed to those of us who are not black or otherwise sensitive to race relations and inclusiveness. All in all, a very good book to read to better understand and appreciate love and humanity, attributes which most people have and practice in their daily lives regardless of who they are dealing with.

An excellent read. A candid assessment of the high-minded qualities of many public men, and little know facts about the bigotry of many other historical figures, some of whom I previously held in high esteem. Nelson Adrian Blish Author of Ishmael's Son
