Sace Stacked! But also a serious question not meant to be cranky or inflammatory... Does anyone know of a book with the same theme written by a POC? I would like to have that perspective as well. 7y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @RestlessFickleBookHoarder I wish, but anything by John Lewis is probably the closest, although I don‘t think he‘s written anything about current politics directly. Sadly the old guard, anyone with a history of journalism behind them...in this country that was almost exclusively white men. The more current POC news anchors can‘t really write anything without making themselves seemed “biased”. I haven‘t read Van Jones‘s Books, but maybe![[tagged book]](https://image.librarything.com/pics/litsy_webpics/icon_taggedBook@3x.png)

Sace @Riveted_Reader_Melissa awesome! Thanks! 7y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @RestlessFickleBookHoarder @Riveted_Reader_Melissa I just read Van Jones‘ book and it‘s a decent choice for this question. The biggest difference is that Rather write for us, and I felt like Jones was ultimately pretty self serving. He believes we need to find the commonalities in our perspectives. And he talks about seeing where the parties intersect. But the book also sounds like he might be a candidate in the future. 7y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @BarbaraTheBibliophage That‘s the main reason I didn‘t read his.... I‘m all for compromise and finding commonalities, but I‘m so tired of false equivalences...I can‘t meet in the middle with Climate Change deniers, Evolution deniers, strict Nationalist, etc.... That‘s just not my frame of mind at the moment, my mindset is more a stand up for what‘s right, equality and pursuit of happiness for everyone, no compromises there. 7y
BarbaraTheBibliophage I hear you. 7y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @RestlessFickleBookHoarder @BarbaraTheBibliophage I‘ve read a lot of great books by POC, I loved W Kamau Bell‘s book, but it‘s a very different kind of book, with a different point of view. It does touch on current issues though.The Awkward Thoughts of W. Kamau Bell: Tales of a 6' 4 , African American, Heterosexual, Cisgender, Left-Leaning, Asthmatic, Black and Proud Blerd, Mama's Boy, Dad, and Stand-Up Comedian 7y
