More Than Just a Fiction Novel
Crossing Color Lines is more than just a fiction novel. It is more than just a story about Chase Cain. It discusses real issues that we have faced in the past and those we face today. This story touches upon the civil rights movement, racism, slavery, equal opportunity employment, affirmative action, stereotypes, rape and a cast of others issues that make this story a very compelling and great read. My main goal is to open up eyes to racism and begin a positive constructive discussion. I hope those discussions could lead to developments of more equality amongst races and a better understanding of us all.
As I mentioned in my recent article, Racism vs. African-Americans in America Today: AT-A-GLANCE, “While government support of racist policy is (mostly) a thing of the past, there is still an undercurrent of racism in the culture of America today.”
