Mr. Marks, the prophets can be very good reading, but use of a commentary is often helpful.

What damage have you done, Mr. Marks? The discussion of reparations is compelling for two reasons: First, Coates discusses the Holocaust and the reparations that were given to Israel by Germany....my immediate thought upon reading this section was, "Sure but the Holocaust was far worse than the...

Litwitlou has written: "The problem is not Trump's policies as President; the problem is that Trump is President. I'm not saying Mrs Clinton is pure as the driven slush fund, but Donald Trump, really? REALLY?" Really. I voted for him and deem the choice obvious. Hillary is not fit for the ...

Coates speaks of this study about the applicants. I Have not read it. It might be true, but true or not one must make one's own way.

Having read a bit about the subject I will say there is nothing about it that ever makes me feel comfortable or reconciled to the fact that the most cultura...

<t>In truth, race is irrelevant. It does not determine in modern America the limits of your abilities or prospects, it does not shape your character or personality. It generally plays a major role in your life, or the life of Coates, or any American only to the extent that one focuses on it and thin...

Actually there are black Americans who would like to stop talking about race.

Gnostic Bishop has written: "How and why can people ignore their God’s immoral ways? I find it quite strange that Christian, Muslims and Jews can ignore the immoral ways that their God is shown to have in the Bible, Qur’an and Talmud." These are book written by men. They contain good and u...
