Black Like Me

I recently read a book called Black Like Me. It was written by John Howard Griffin in the 1960's. It is based on a true story about racism in the deep south. Rather than just writing his point of view as a white man, he actually got his skin dyed black so he could get the full experience.

I won't tell you about the rest of the book because I don't want to give it away. My point of view is that there is racism amongst both blacks and whites. However back in the 60's whites were so judgmental it was ridiculous. They decided to hate people based on the color of their skin. Some of the issues they discussed in the book are still around today. Overall I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to discover more about those issues and that time period.
