Summary: Everyone read this book!
Comment: This is a very insightful and well researched book. Elaine Brown ties together so much history and current information to show insight into racism in the United States. This is told through the story of Little B but the way Elaine Brown delves into the history and puts it in context goes way beyond this one individual. What happened to Little B is an epidemic happening to many young black men who are being criminalized and tried as adults. Amazing book- I recommend it for everyone. The part on New Age Racism is particularly interesting. I want to buy a copy for everyone I know- especially those who would not think to read something like this. It is written in a style that is very easy to read and yet filled with so much information. I am inspired by the incredible clarity of this book.

Summary: Did Brown have Panther Bookkeeper Betty VanPatter Murdered?
Comment: Elaine Brown may have had Panther bookkeeper Betty Van Patter murdered on orders from Huey Newton, according to strong circumstantial information recounted by author David Horowitz, former movement member, in his book "Hating Whitey". Even by her own writings in "A Taste of Power" she comes across as a dangerous psychopath who gets sensuous gratification from seeing people brutally beaten. If you buy this or any other book by her, you very well may be giving money someone involved in a murder.
See chapter 9, "Black Murder, Inc." of David Horowitz's book "Hating Whitey" for the full story on Elaine Brown.

Summary: Challenging Overview of Racism in 2002
Comment: Elaine Brown presents much more than the title suggests. Rather than restricting herself to the case of Lil B (Michael Lewis) by itself, she places this case in a setting of racism, both in history and in our time, nationally and in Georgia, in such a way as to challenge both the white power structure as well as the African American community to face up to our abdication of responsibility for the marginalized, especially the adolescent African American males. The handling of the case of Lil B is symptomatic of this abdication, beginning with Atlanta's blindness to the existence of the Bluff (a drug infested block of west side Atlanta); moving on to the self-absorbed ambition of some of the African American leadership; and ultimately indicting the white power structure's arrogance rooted in the so-called brilliant insights of Thomas Jefferson on the subject of African Americans. Brown is well versed in her subject, articulate in expressing her views, and forthright in calling for action from all segments of our contemporary society. Brilliant piece of work.
