http://www.reddit.com/r/blackladies might provide a perspective on that. The general "feel" of this subreddit is that they're concerned about racism in an interracial date. The whole subreddit comes acro

Interesting. I hate books that teach you how to negotiate like a scumbag (ie most trial attorneys and car salesmen) so this is a refreshing change of pace. I will put this on my to-read list. A book in similar vein is "Getting to Yes&q
