With the end of year examinations in the process of being marked right now, I decided to go to the Library today. That was this morning. I just completed my first book, the skinniest of all the books I pick, The Last Taboo by Bali Rai.
It centers around inter-racial dating. However, it is not set in the states but in the streets of England. There isn’t much mention of white people dating other races, but the minority of the race, the ‘blacks’ and ‘asians’. It was such a well put together book that when I was reading it, it was like reading a biography. Events that were stated in the book, although they may be exaggerated, can still happen in real life. Disgracing the family name for dating someone of a different skin colour. Being out casted. Being bashed up/beaten/run over by your own family. The book also included an example of how a black guy gets his girl. And also how horny guys can get too. The book isn’t X-rated but it does have swearing and some over descriptive passages and is not suitable for all ages ( I AM WARNING YOUNGER READERS NOW).
I really opened my eyes about what racial riots and disagreements can be because I have never experienced one before.
