 Kill Them Before They Grow: Misdiagnosis of African American Boys in American Classrooms $10.95 I read the entire book in 2 days which means it did not say much to make me think. It reads really easy because it says the same thing over and over, albeit with different words. In essence White culture is not appropriate for our Black youth and therefore our Black youth should not be subjected to being forced to learn White culture from ages 6 to 18 (1st grade - 12th grade). One goal of the book is to empower Black people to take ownership of their heritage and responsiblity for educating their children with the appropriate lessons. It offered no suggestions to non-Black people about what they can do to include African culture in the classroom other than including a handful of African leaders and the traditional Black men in our lessons. The book shows fault with teaching the history of the US because it does not include a history of Africa simultaneously. The last chapter, like many books designed to get people riled up to make a difference, offers suggestions on how Black people can unite their community and educate themselves. The book promotes segregation because White schools are not appropriate for our Black children. There should be Black schools run by Black people so that Black children can get an appropriate education. The author faults White people for teaching Black children with methods that exist in all power structures in the US. We are apparently oppressing our Black youth by teaching Black children skills that are used in all strata of influence. I am interested in what the author has to say if/when Obama becomes President. What excuses will he have then for why Black children are not successful in our sterotypical White schools?  We're making enemies faster than we can kill them!
