    A perspective from a guy who's seen a great deal in his life.
  

*by O***M on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 15, 2021*

I want to preface this review by stating I'm a white woman over 70.  That said, I enjoyed most of this book and added to my understanding of the black experience (which, admittedly, I can NEVER fully understand) and appreciate this work for enlightening me, particularly in the beginning of slavery and its horrific impact on a group of people who had no idea what was happening to them.  For this, I am grateful.However, some of the later material made me arch my eyebrows a bit.  While I have no problem believing some of his  conspiratorial  claims, some of them began to seem more like Qanon had written them.  He brings up some valid  arguments, but then some of them involve so many people who had to work in conjunction with so many other people, the possibility of carrying it off with no one  speaking out becomes hard to believe.One story that I had most difficulty with is the allegations against Bill Cosby.  I felt like he was uneasy in the allegations of sexual assault and rape, but he couldn't bring himself to believe it.  In this case I felt he'd let down all the women who accused Cosby of what he'd done to them, and in turn all women of color who have ever been the victim of assault, sexual or otherwise.  Prior to Cosby's fall from grace, I had read a report or two about  Black women in entertainment clamoring  for years about his behavior.  I would have thought Mr. Gregory would have been aware of that.Lastly, maybe because I am white, but I can't abide the word which I relate to white hatred of black people.  I remember hearing a white mom on TV back in the early 60's telling her child, "You don't want to go to school with no n*****s."  I was a kid, and couldn't believe any adult could say such a thing about a child.  It was said with so much hate and it's a word I came to hate.  So, yeah, I would rather use the phrase N word.  It is to me worse that the F word.I would recommend this book to friends since I think it gives a personal insight into the black endurance of racism in this country and one that is blunt.  Too many white folk think it doesn't exist.  It does.

    I thoroughly enjoyed this book
  

*by J***A on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 11, 2023*

It is a Rich history  told with first hand knowledge. Most of the time we hear the negative watered down version of our black hero’s involvement in this country. Dick Gregory was there!!

    Funny, but no punches pulled
  

*by B***L on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 24, 2021*

I picked this work up because I wanted to broaden my reading of Black History, and this book certainly does that.Dick Gregory was a comedian, a nutritional advisor, and a friend to many prominent Black Americans, including Muhammed Ali, and others. A storyteller. But his storytelling here is meant to be from a Black man, to other Black people. When he says "we" and "our history," I know, as a white lady, that isn't meant to include me. Those of us who are white, or otherwise not Black, can gather around the fire and listen to his discourse - but don't expect it to be sugarcoated to save our sensibilities, because it isn't.I could quibble about a few things, like his defenses of Bill Cosby, for example, but I'm not taking off any stars for that. Certainly white storytellers sometimes stretch the facts or have strong opinions with which I don't always agree.I recommend this for Black folks, and for white folks who can stand NOT being centered, or treated with deference (for a change).
