I once heard someone criticize black writers for writing of drugs, rape, prostitution, murder, gangs, and stealing. I am aware that such occurs not only in the lives of people of color but also in the lives of "people". The criticism alone reflects one's cowardliness to face the daily struggles of the people, and even worse, the weakness to stand up and acknowledge them.
My writings are not to insinuate that the lives of people of color wholly consist of violence and turmoil. These stories are my life, your life, and ours. Al though influenced by reality, the characters in my writings are merely fictional.
So with much respect I ask that if you are a coward and if you are weak, please place this book back on the shelf. No offense, but it was not written for you.
