Please Stop Helping Us: How Liberals Make It Harder for Blacks to Succeed

It's good to gather evidence on all sides of an issue, and Riley does a decent job of presenting his side.

However, the analysis is often very superficial and lacking in context. For example, he argues that black Americans would be much more successful if they had more two parent households, and also argues that "tough on crime" policies that increase the incarceration rate for black Americans help protect the law-abiding ones.

However, among the major issues leading to family instability is the much larger number of black women in black communities than black men due in fact to high incarceration rates.

He wants to have his cake and eat it too on this issue, and never even addresses the fact that these two goals are, at some point, contradictory.

The book is a good compilation of facts and surface-level analysis, but it's not a new or interesting argument; it's absolutely typical of the economic right.

It was a nearly perfect presentation of today's problems in the cities. The only thing it lacked was a more complete explanation of how 'resisting arrest' causes most of the interface problems with the Police. I believe this to be a huge problem not just a small occasional one. White men do not resist at nearly the same percentage of times they are arrested which may explain the Police Brutality coming from the black community. We should never strike a child in anger and we should never resist arrest. These two problems are responsible for a good deal of our community problems. Short term and long term.

This is a well crafted masterpiece to the problems in the black community and the reason behind it!

Great book of explaining the local ways we have actually hurt African Americans. Too bad this will be discredited by the liberals

What a read. Law of unintended consequences on full display to anyone with an open mind. Must read c

Excellent book. I would highly recommend it to anyone that wants a better understanding of the problems in the Black community and how they can be resolved.

Very interesting perspective on expectations. I was always taught to expect more out of life, but I had to work for it. Mr Riley has hit the nail on the head.

Exhaustive research resulting in an inspiring text! I applaud the courage it must have taken a black man to have written this book. Well done, Mister Riley!!!

Shatters the lies and half-truths of the Left about how to truly empower America.

Trying to hear various voices on the subject of race relations.
Difficult viewpoint to read
Clear however that we are all different even within a group so it is a hopeful dream
that we will all end up as human race with differences
