Tears We Cannot Stop: A Sermon to White America
Ratings11
Average rating4.7
Fifty years ago, when a white woman asked Malcolm X what she could do for the cause, he told her "Nothing." Now, Michael Eric Dyson believes he was wrong and responds that if society is to make real racial progress, people must face difficult truths-- including being honest about how black grievance has been ignored, dismissed, or discounted.

Listen to the audio because MED delivers it himself. I've been struggling with where to start in recommending books to people who hold different views than I do, but this, finally, is it. This book is the perfect mix of rational but personalized argument, pop culture, history, and research references (w/o actually being research dense). His preacher roots and professional acumen combined for the perfext delivery. If folk (or as he calls his audience, “Beloved”) aren't listening to this, sit them down and listen with them. This is a required catalyst to view-changing.
