{"product_id":"9781569765883","title":"Afraid of the Dark: What Whites and Blacks Need to Know about Each Other","description":" Finally, here is the definitive answer for anyone who has contact with people of another race-in companies, schools, neighborhoods, or other social situations-a book that finally reveals that race is not the unfathomable mystery it is usually made out to be. In a revealing, accessible, and stimulating discussion based on little-known facts and innovative research, this book explains why whites are uneasy about blacks and how blacks react to this, why blacks suspect the worst from whites and why white explanations don't work, why myths about sex remain so prevalent, and what they can do together to make their relations better.\u003cp\u003eAuthor Biography: Jim Myers was the chief writer of the USA Today series \"Race and Sports.\" A white man married to a black woman, he lives in Washington, D.C.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \"This book unravels the mystery that has kept the races separated.
