Why Do They Hate Us So Much?: Black Life In America

by Michael Melancon

In this memoir, the life of a Black American is revealed. From his earliest recollection at the young and innocent age of four, a life-long journey of appalling events unfolds and the shocking accounts of kin-folks. Growing up in Northern California’s San Francisco Bay Area from the 1970s through the 1990s, one of the most tolerable regions in the country regarding the uniqueness and diversity of its populations, he would find himself in often precarious racial situations, questioning his worth and value as a human being in an often hostile world. In order to make sense of it all, he takes an in-depth analysis of his own personal experiences, the experiences of his loved ones, and combines it with his formal education and independent research in an attempt to uncover, Why do They Hate us so Much?

This book was written to offer awareness to All Folks from all walks of life and differing ethnic backgrounds to the issues of racism and systemic racism, in a quest to bring equity, equality, and unity, to a Nation which has been sickened since birth with the plague of a virus, the virus of Racism! And to help be part of a societal healing process for an ultimately born-again America, a born-again “UNITED” States of America minus the hate, where every American can feel safe and free to reach their goals in their pursuit of happiness!
