Different but The Same

About the Book

I am excited about the potential energy this book may generate. I have spoken with and interviewed people throughout the country in both metropolitan and rural populations. Their participation and responses have been immeasurably favorable. The majority of responses elevated my enthusiasm to indescribable heights. Because of their curiosity and extraordinary observation similarities of ethnic idiosyncrasies that paralleled years of my observation experiences, I was inclined to share what I and others have consistently discerned for your interpretation.

This book focuses on African-Americans and Caucasians unique and profound dissimilarities. “It is what it is, pros and cons”. This discernible fact compelled me to note and list (for entertainment purposes) the dissimilarities and all of which you may be quite familiar. This book will spark perhaps duel mind sets conceivably one being innately positive and the other predictably pessimistic. I welcome both perspectives. I believe it will attract constructive dialogue that may possibly facilitate a better understanding of the two ethnic demographics.

About the Author

My father is in his early nineties now, 91 to be exact. He is an exceptional mentor not only to me, but to other people from all walks of life. He is a giving man to those in need of life’s necessities and plainly provides others encouraging words. I have observed my father promote student talents especially those that rarely receive recognition for academic excellence, literary compositions, or debating skills. Endless efforts in enhancing the quality of life for my mother, sister and me were observed with admiration. His actions demonstrated true commitment to family. We were not a family of wealth or even considered sufficiently financially secured, but were blessed with his tenacity to ensure that all of our needs were met. His consistency to serve others inspired me to do the same. I have gained so much wisdom from him in business, finances, relationships, mentoring, and other subjects affording me to have a better understanding of life and its unlimited experiences.
