James Francis Johnson has lead a fascinating life.  Living right outside of Philadelphia, his high school was apparently "infamous for it's race riots".  But after setting out on his own as a drifter, his world view changes dramatically.  He grew up hating black people, and he then grew into hating white people, which I can relate to.  Not like that!  I dislike everybody equally, regardless of skin color, or if they even had skin at all...All of this is covered in this book, which is an autobiography of James Francis Johnson's life.  He deals with the fact that he grew up with racism all arond him, and his journey of knowledge and growth, to overcome those feelings and prejudices.  That is actually something that I have dealt with myself.  Southeastern Ohio is not the most progressively thinking area of the country, and I have certainly had to change my way of thinking from time to time, and change my preconceived notions about people.  Reading this really put a lot of things into perspective, and it really helped me with some of my issues.It is a fascinating book dealing fairly honestly and realistically with racism, from a unique perspective.  If you're interested in racism, I recommend it.  Wait, you shouldn't be interested in racism at all.....
