Not just men
+ John Johnson is 110% Correct!!!
The problem with this book is that it is focused on African American men. Though at a lesser rate, African American women are also dating EuroAmerican men. Some claim that this is a reaction to African American men dating outside of their community, maybe, maybe not.
