Is Racism Nature or Nurture?
About the Book
White people, in general, know racism exists but feel they have nothing in common with racism. We mostly think of racism is a black problem and Blacks should fix it. Anytime racism is discussed it is by black activists and almost no whites. The problem is the scourge of racism is a white issue which requires the education of whites as to what constitutes racism and how whites become racists.
Why is that? Is it natural to reject non-whites, or are we taught racism as children, based on skin color?
The Author
Carol Ellis was born in 1949 in Nelson County, Virginia. Born to an American GI and a German war bride, they lived on a hardscrabble, self-sufficient farm. The family had three children by the time Carol was three years old. Needless to say, Carol had the total run of the farm by age three. Great-aunts, uncles, and grandparents were close.
Her love for black people began when she observed the differences. It is those differences that made Carol question why they were treated differently from whites.
