Most important book I've read besides the Bible!

This is a review for Created Equal by Dr. Ben Carson. This is a book that everyone should read right now because of what is going on in our country right now. Dr. Carson is an African American, and he felt the need to write a book about his experiences as an African American man growing up in both Detroit and Chicago, and then going on to college after which he became a top brain surgeon. He has worked in government also, and has seen his beloved America being torn apart by lies and deception, so he did something about it. He tells the truth, and this book is a result. He wants to see all races who were created equal, be treated equal, because that is what our founding fathers wanted, and our Heavenly Father want! Hopefully through this book there will be unity! I know it helped me!! In his book Dr. Carson talks straight about many of the topics facing our nation today, including those that are trying to tear our nation apart. Here are the topics he discusses in his book: CHAPTER 1 No One Is Born a Racist CHAPTER 2 How We Look at Race CHAPTER 3 The History of Slavery and Racism in America CHAPTER 4 Guilt and Victimhood Surrounding Race CHAPTER 5 Critical Race Theory and the 1619 Project CHAPTER 6 The George Floyd Turning Point CHAPTER 7 Media and Big Tech CHAPTER 8 Does Systemic Racism Exist in America? CHAPTER 9 Judeo-Christian Values and Racism CHAPTER 10 Is It Racism or Classism? CHAPTER 11 Education, the Great Equalizer CHAPTER 12 The Path Forward I really loved this book because Dr. Carson was honest about the problems we do have in this country, but he tells the truth about them from his experience, and then gives us solutions to those problems. Most left wing people point out the problems from their agenda, but then offer no solutions, but Dr. Carson does. This book opened my eyes in a deeper way to those problems, but Dr. Carson wasn't shouting for shutting down our institutions because he respects our Constitution and our laws & government; no, he talks about the message of Dr.Martin Luther King, which is we are all created equal, and should not be judged according to our skin color, but by our character. Also he is against Critical Race Theory which tells white people we are oppressors, and minorities that they are oppressed. This only tears our nation apart! Dr. Carson wants to bring our nation together, as did Dr. King! This book also exposes the lies, shares true history, and shows us how to bring unity amongst all Americans which are a nation of many races, and the change starts with us as individuals and how we treat each other!!! So I believe this is one of the most important books I have read, and I rate it 5/5! Please take time to read it!
