Author Can Never Know What It is to be Black
I did not read this book all of the way through, but I read far enough. I don't know why anyone would buy it. The author thinks he can use this skin darkening treatment, which in reality is another form of blackface to experience what it is like to be Black. He has reduced Blackness to some sort of game. I believe he can never have the full Black experience. He did not grow up as a person of color, nor would he have the same mindset as one. He can take off his skin tone and be white once more. Blacks cannot. This book disturbs me. The author has barely even scratched the surface and it seems as if though this experiment, he is viewing Blacks as a mysterious species. I would not recommend this book at all.

Understanding ourselves
Black Like Me gave me a whole new perspective on why color shouldn't matter. I read it when I was a teenager and it greatly influenced how I have thought my entire life. When I was riding a bus in Baltimore I heard one fellow say "I am brown, not black" and it pointed out to me from reading this book and listening to other people that we are all equal and frankly color should not even be something that should be noticed. It's what in a man' heart that is important. It occurred to me that a book could be written on Jew like me with the same motive and concern that Black Like Me had. Or Native American like me. Or Asian like me.
