Great Book!!! A must read if you can handle the truth!!

The only people that wouldn't like this book. are the liberals who can't handle the truth or it coming out. I applaud Starr's effort for exposing the liberal democrats REAL agenda for blacks in this country. Government induced poverty, control and dependance. As a conservative black male, what she writes isn't ground breaking. It did however 100% validate what I knew as being true! If you haven't been exposed to the truth, then for you it WILL be ground breaking!!

Believe in God and Yourself and You'll be in Good Shape

Star's book is a wonderful example of what happens when people finally start adhering to the objective moral order. There are things in this book that the let's pretend lewd left don't want you to know. The major thing being that you do better when you do for yourself. I think that the reviewers who put down Ms. Parker are suffering from a severe case of guilty conscience.

An awesome book from an awesome lady!!!

I had the privalege of seeing Star Parker speak and then meet her at the Young America's Freedom Conference in San Diego. Her speech, much like her book, was awe-inspiring and wonderful as she tells of her dependancy on the government to living the American dream with house, family, business and God. This book shows what needs to happen in America, yet also warns conservatives of what we need to do to prosper. A must read for any American.

Insightful approach to save conservative ideals

Star Parker is a invigorating paragon of the conservative movement. Her spirit shows in her wonderful book. She not only gave an account of her welfare life but many of her friends, and it became obvious to me how the system has failed for many years now. She also mentioned the way liberals have only helped the welfare problem by handing out money, decreasing the insentive of people to work. She is a sole believer that we are all Americans regardless of race and should be treated that way. Racism has gone both ways and needs to be stopped. Her ideas are so simple regarding race problems, welfare, etc. I definitely recommend this book not only to learn a bit more about the welfare system but to be reinvigorated in the conservative movement.

Excellent hard hitting book

As a Black Conservative successful businessman living in Southern California, I applaud Star Parker's book. We as African Americans can no longer look to the government(and/or Democrats) as our savior. As long as there are laws that protect us from being falsely jailed and/or lynched. We can (and should) compete to attain our life goals in this country regardless of the obsticles. Black America needs to wake up and stop blaming the "Man for keeping us down". As for myself, I am not, and will not, be treated or perceived as a victim. I am where I am today because of parents who cared enough to: 1. stay together 2. sacrifice so that I would have better opportunities 3. instill in me morals and values 4. discipline me to keep me on the right track 5. Teach me about the contributions of my ancestors, George Washington Carver, Harriet Tubman, etc. Kudos to Star Parker and others like her out there in the burgeoning Black Middle Class. A neglected, under served segment (by the Media) of the Black Community that is looking for a political party that refects its views and values. Hey Republicans, get a clue!! Sincerely, L.
