PositiveThe New York Times Book Review... a forthright, historically supported examination of the racial divisions that have plagued our nation ... Much like his show, the book jumps around in both content and tone. Sections exploring deep American history suddenly give way to contemporary anecdotes ... Lemon is at his strongest when he turns his gaze backward, blending our nation’s history with his own ... It’s both direct in tone and obvious in content—the type of unsparing historical statement from an \'openly Black\' news anchor likely to prompt some white viewers to clutch their pearls even as Black viewers look at one another and unemotionally remark, \'Yeah, we already knew that.\'
