My rating: <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/310015110%22%3E4 of 5 stars</a><br /><br />
This is a great book. It consists of many different stories. One of my favorite was "The bench". It was a story about a man refusing to get off a bench and everyone respected him for it. The policemen waas telling him to get up & People was yelling, "Don't argue with the nigga, just get him up."
<br/>Another one of the my favorite stories in this book was "Bruzz". This book was about a boy who worked at a store then a man came in as if he was new to the town. The man was questioning the boy. He was buying a lot of drinks and talking like he had been running from someone or something. He asked about cops and why did the boy's town have any. He then seemed shock and chilled. He was a crimnal and the sheriff told the other members of the town that "the little boy was a smart little Negro". This was because he was the one who hsd caught the crook.
<br/>
<br/>Another story I read in this book was called "The convert" . A pretty good storie. This is about a man doing whats right. His friend was murdered but the white men who beat his friend wanted him to say he had reached for the gun and that's what started the fight. Now they are in the courtroom and he is scared because all the white people are in the front staring him down. He said the he wasn't sure if his friend reached for the gun. This really pissed every one in the courtroom off. Well all the white folks. The whites ordered he get out of town as quickly is he could.
