White Man in a Black Man's World Richard Vermillion

Richard Vermillion's unique life experiences chronicled in "White Man in a Black Man's World?: Learning to be Black While Wearing White Skin" have given him profound revelations concerning racial, social, and cultural issues that will inspire you--and challenge your beliefs. Hilarious one moment and dramatic the next, his story will captivate your attention as he takes you from one awkward encounter to another. He writes in his introduction:

Come with me and peek behind the curtain of races you may have not known to see things you may have never been aware were there. Let me show you the thoughts, attitudes, and paradigms of people whose skin color may be different from yours, and whose culture to whom you may not relate or perhaps even understand. My desire is that you would gain greater empathy and comprehension for another race that will lead you to peace and reconciliation within yourself; that bitterness would disappear, hatred would be turned into love, and segregation and distrust would become acceptance and harmony.
