:- from C -- TOP 50 REVIEWER : Kareem's thoughts on history, policing, and the influence of his father ( 5.0 out of 5 stars )
- 5.0 out of 5 stars from Fotosailor -- Must read! : Highly recommend! In today’s polarized world where people make snap, monolithic judgements about whole groups, Abdul Jabbar shows you the power of balanced, critical thinking. ( Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2021 )
- 5.0 out of 5 stars from Laura Schreuders -- Great Reminders of Some Awful Happening in the Past : This essay is well written and reminded me of so many forgotten episodes of abuse, brutality, and killing of black people in our not too distant past. I am amazed at the fortitude of Mr. Alcindor as a black cop when it was not a popular job with any race. ( Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2021 )
- 5.0 out of 5 stars from Kindle Customer Mickuva -- SPECTACULAR! : A highly enlightened and enlightening essay on the history of Black policemen in America, as told from from a family point of view. The fact that this book was written by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar only makes it that much more relevant to readers having little knowledge of his family background. Mr. Abdul-Jabbar goes into great detail relaying America's racist history, and how it contributed to and continues to influence both the police and society in general. He does not shy away from assigning blame, or offering possible solutions: a bold and much needed light in today's darkness. ( Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2021 )
- 5.0 out of 5 stars from Katie -- Standing tall for all : A quiet presence often hides an activist. Abdul-Jabar shows that his father’s silence was a form of activism in choosing to stay strong in spite of the difficulties he probably experienced as a black cop in the minority of a profession that often irrationally targets blacks and has the power to inflict great harm. He outlines how his own activism developed and reflected his father’s stance to a large degree. A good, short read. ( Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2021 )
- 5.0 out of 5 stars from Amazon Customer -- On Being Black In America : This is another great contribution by one of our finest athletes as well as an excellent historian. Terse and to the point, he addresses racism and the need to speak out and act against it. A very thought provoking essay. ( Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2021 )
- 5.0 out of 5 stars from Tim McNaughton -- See with different eyes : A quick read with excellent insight. How we are raised and taught shape our world view. Kareem shares his upbringing and how he sees life through his eyes and working to make a difference. ( Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2021 )
- 5.0 out of 5 stars from Michael Gonzales -- Good reading : I enjoyed it very much, something's I didn't know about Kareem which was very interesting. ( Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2021 )
