[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The book will only be inflammatory because some people will not like the truths they hear.  It challenges you to understand your implicit biases, or contributions to allowing discriminatory systems to continue. It is hard to hear. And, while I didn't necessarily agree with everything, it was quite eye opening.

If you're turned off by the title (I was too), you are someone who should read it.

If you think hearing what she has to say (noted above) is "offensive" or "inflammatory", you DEFINITELY should read the book. It talks about that defense mechanism quite effectively.

Since when do we just bury our heads in the sand b/c we may not like something? Quit being a baby and give it a read before you start complaining. Geez. [/quote]

Having a worldview by which any objection is met by "our worldview predicted that and you're just proving its accuracy!" is not a point in favor. "You don't think sin exists? That just proves you're sinful and you need Jesus!" Well, gosh, when you put it that way, I'm totally convinced.[/quote]
