Editorial Review:
Bill Cosby and Alvin F. Poussaint have a powerful message for families and communities as they lay out their visions for strengthening America, or for that matter the world. They address the crises of people who are stuck because of feelings of low self-esteem, abandonment, anger, fearfulness, sadness, and feelings of being used, undefended and unprotected. These feelings often impede their ability to move forward. The authors aim to help empower people make the daunting transition from victims to victors. Come On, People! is always engaging, and loaded with heart-piercing stories of the problems facing many communities. Cached date: AWS Called=true You may also be interested in these products:

Come on Bill!! 2008-10-17 Easy read. Facts are very interesting. Too bad the people who actually read this book, are not necessarily the people who should read this book.
fresh perspective from inside the community 2008-10-01 I enjoyed the fresh, new perspective, from an African American about the true condition of the black community. Too bad it is not shared by the popular leaders from these community - rather opting to play the ever played-out "blame "the man" game."
He's preaching. Who's listening? 2008-09-06 Bill Cosby's latest novel makes everyone uncomfortable about the realities of what slavery and institutional racism have done to America. Cosby's take is that there comes a time when black people have to take some responsibility for making their lives and communities better. It is no wonder that he has been ostracized by the media minorities who make their livelihoods on blaming others for black America's problems. The book gets a little preachy and simplistic about solutions toward the end of the book. The beginning is better. It is worth a read.
