Each scenario reveals that how we act and react to each other on a daily basis stems from racial assumptions, biases, and misunderstandings. Some we acknowledge, others we overlook.

In this newest edition, here is a candid assessment of and guide to improving race relations that offers honest clarity on fear of crime and terrorism, the role of rage talk media,” the problem with tolerance, race in pop music from Elvis to Eminem and beyond, the N-word,” and much more.
