Search For Safety -John Langan

Genre:Realistic Fiction
Rate:⭐✩✩✩✩(1/5)

(Before I start this blog post I would like to say this is strictly my opinion and I'm sorry for anyone I offend.(THIS IS JUST A OPINION)
Let me start by saying that I hate the Bluford Series. I think Bluford books are one of the most racist, stereotypical books ever. It give all black people this type of hood/ghetto persona that isn't most of the time true. Black people barely have books  about them and the book we do have about us is highlights all the bad and negative things about us. Also the fact the author ... a white man who thinks he knows enough about black people to write a book like this is f***king crazy. Almost every single book in the Blueford Series is about child abuse, pregnant teens and gangs and fun fact these are the types of books they let in school but you barely or never catch one book about gay people in schools but these books are good for teen to read? I have a little message for the author of this book and the rest of the people who think writing books like this is acceptable. Dear white people it is not OK to write books like this. It don't matter if you black friends or hang  out with black people it is not OK. Writing books like this just give black people a bad name that have been already stained with for years and when we try to get rid of it shit like this keep bringing us back down. Don't think I forgot about my fellow black people I got a little message for y'all to. Dear black people as long as you let people continue write book about us like this nothing will ever change. People who enjoy reading books like this I hope y'all don't stop reading but just stop reading these book. I read the book and it a OK book but I will never read a book like this again in my life.
