By Yofish, The United States

"A series of essays written (mostly in late '80s, I think) by a contributor to SI. Mostly about how blacks are downtrodden and whites just don't understand. They're well-enough written, but much more heat than light. Very hard to read more than one in a row, as it just beats on you. And a little repetitive. Awfully close to racist---at the least filled with stereotypes and broad generalizations."
