[WillowTheWhisp]

I've just found a review of that book on the internet - I shall look for more.

One thing I found disturbing in what I have just read is the reference to "white guilt" and particularly a comment that the book in the hands of whites who have never felt "white guilt" is a dangerous thing.

Not only have I never felt "white guilt" I'm not 100% sure I even understand what they mean although I suspect it is something similar to an experience I had in Ireland when I was told:

"You persecuted us and allowed us to starve to death"

To which my response was that the person speaking far from having starved to death was indeed very much alive. That I couldn't personally be held responsible for something which was perceived to have been done by my ancestors to their ancestors and apart from anything else my own personal ancestors were on the receiving end of a bit of persecution themselves at the time.
