Intense and Prejudice in reverse - The authors attempt to open minds to cultural biases. However, they do not offer a forgiving mindset, causing racism in reverse. They write that they are not against "white people" just "white supremacy." When will someone write a book uniting people of all colors to celebrate each others cultures and equally look at injustice by ALL races? I found nothing but anger and resentment in this book.

somebody took my money - As good as the book is, I never got it thru Amazon.com. I was charged twice for it, and their vendor, having no product, refunded one of the charges. But I see thru this request that the other product was marked by someone (BESIDES my credit card company) as being valid. What?

Counseling the Culturally Diverse: Theory and Practice - I found this text to be anti-white and overly negative of American counseling methods. Author is obvioulsy biased.

Reverse racism infested - I had to read this book for a graduate class, and it is the most complete collection of nonsense that I have ever been exposed to. The authors fail to realize that white Americans are not the cause of the problems that some minorities may face. One point I recall is when the author mentioned that it was the white man's fault for slavery and he persists to contend that it still impacts them today. Well, yes we were PARTIALLY responsible. However, who sold the slaves to the white man? Other Africans. It bothers them today? Many white Americans are of European heritage and their ancestors were indentured servants? Why doesn't anyone bring that up? Additionally, many different people have been slaves to another people, not solely black people. Unfortunately, many people will like this book because it preaches victim-hood, when in fact, there are not really any victims. America today caters to everyone, but white people. This is seen in law enforcement namely with hate crime legislation. One story I recall is when one white teenager was threatened and severely beaten till he was killed by a few black youths. Law enforcement has yet to declare this a hate crime. Now, if it was the other way around, it would have been declared exceedingly fast. Switching gears again, remember the Jena 6? Six black kids beat one white kid and they are charged. And then here comes Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton (frauds) leading a march. And they had the nerve to compare that to the civil rights march that was lead by Martin Luther King Jr, when both events were completely different in that one was lead by a great man(Martin Luther King) and the other frauds (Jackson and Sharpton) and one's cause was real and not a stunt, like the other. And let's not forget the white guys that were falsely accused of raping a black stripper (with the help of Jesse Jackson)in the Duke Lacrosse case. America turned its back on them. Why? Simple, they were white.
Nowadays, there are victims, and it's the majority, not the minorities. The majority are victims of reverse-racism, and affirmative action (a policy that has continuously backfired) is another good example of this.
