Well I can't say too much about this book other than I am not a fan.
This "story" called Die Nigger Die by H. Rap Brown, as I will call it, because I have no clue of what is exactly the truth or what...is about the life of a man called H. Rap Brown. He was a radical during the sixties and was raised during the height of the Equal Rights Movement.
Some of his stories are fantastic as in, I really don't believed that happend, so prove it. What got me throughout the book was the hate. Hate on page 1. Hate on page 24. Hate on page 70. See a pattern? It was more like he was just ranting about the White man and he knew all the White man's schemes and what not. This got old because, one, I can't support so much anger. It gets you no where but obviously that doesn't stop people, and two, he wasn't accomplishing much except to boost his own ego.
The only thing interesting about reading a book like this is getting a veiw into someone's world you could never agree with and see another side of life.
Unfortunately, some young and impressionable youth will get their hands on this just to bolster their minds to feed into the hate but hey, freedom of speech is great right?
I give this a 0 out of 5.
