Reviews
While directed mostly toward African-Americans, the book offers practical tips for everyone. It is being used at Xavier University by professor Fredoline Anunobi, director of international affairs. Ways Pearson cites to overcome discrimination include: Stop blaming others for personal failures, believe in yourself and your capabilities, find and be a positive role model, avoid negative people, use time wisely, and believe in the power of education as a means to advance.
Entrenched in the maritime industry in various capacities for many years, Pearson discovered writing as an outlet for self-expression. In addition to his book, his navigational articles have been featured in technical publications.
But mostly pearson hopes to help people become tolerant of one another. "People are people," he said. "If you treat them well and have qualities people admire, they learn to respect you for who you are."
Author details how to break chains of self-defeating perceptions.

The following pages are taken from the chapter 'Racism Targets Differences," page 24.
Many people like to think of racism as a black-white problem, but it is not so superficial. If all blacks suddenly turned blue, would racism end? Certainly not. People tend to use any kind of difference as an excuse for discriminating. If Caucasians were the only race, whites would discriminate against each other on the basis of geographic origin--North and South, for example. Whites within a particular region would discriminate on the basis of hair
and/or eye color. Paradoxically, even African-Americans discriminate against each other. Some light-skinned blacks act as if they are more attractive and intellectually superior to darker-skinned blacks.
