Review of Come On People

I recently read Come On People by Bill Cosby and Alvin F. Poussaint. I recommend it to all Americans.

I applaud the authors for addressing one of the root problems in the African-American community: unwed mothers. The authors correctly point out that this is not just about the behavior of girls. Both genders are responsible, and not just kids, but also adults.

The authors cite many statistics. Well over half of all black children are born to unwed mothers, and well over half of all marriages end in divorce.

Without fathers in the household, the cards are stacked against children being raised properly. Not only is there a lack of healthy discipline, but there are few role models for young black males.

The book also offers sound nutritional advice. In fact, in almost all areas, the theme is, stop being a victim, and take responsibility for your own life.

Good advice for all Americans, regardless of race.
