Z Jackson’s Reviews > Why Black People Tend to Shout: Cold Facts and Wry Views from a Black Man's World > Status Update

I realize now that this book isn't very much on the comprehensive side it's more of the ramblings of man, a very opinionated man. This past chapter he chooses to ramble on about Japan's bigoted Prime Minister and somehow ties it into a black man from Philly.

The most recent views in this book upset me a little. No doubt it seems Ralph Wiley has a chip on his shoulder. I like discussions and views of black culture but not when its 'woe is me-Angry Black Man syndrome. I know there's a lot more where this comes from. I found his veiled defense of fired crazy man David Burke responsible for the death of 40 innocent people a little ludicrous.
