White Man's Justice, Black Man's Grief

De: Donald Goines

Narrado por: Mirron Willis

The godfather of urban lit, Donald Goines knows life on the streets is a one-way ticket to life behind bars, where suffering is the one and only daily bread. For the first time in over a decade, his classic White Man's Justice, Black Man's Grief is now repackaged and reissued with a whole new look to attract new listeners, as well as long-time fans of the legend himself.

Barely out of his 20s, Chester Hines knows the score. He's just another bug crawling through the streets of Detroit, waiting to be squashed under the heel of a system meant to keep a brother down. But with his old lady on his back, his only options are on the wrong side of the law. He didn't need a fortune-teller to tell him that sooner or later he'd end up in a system more brutal than the one that forced him there.

Prison life is raw. But it's the only life Chester's got. Against all odds, he and his crew will forge a brotherhood in hell. Together they'll scratch and claw their way day by day, suffering unimaginable abuse, betrayal, and pure, uncut hopelessness-or die trying.

True story about life

The only thing to dislike is the trueness in the story. Narration is great, you can feel the emotion in this book.

That's Dat Shit!!

Excellent story. Excellent Performance. Crime Fiction GOAT. Detroits Donald Goines pens another classic. Slow moving compared to some of his other Classics but DEEP.

Raw Masterpiece

I have read this book more times than I can count on my feet and hands put together! He

The injustice to Black people.

Damn... This is sad as hell. But so true. We, humans have to do better.

The Ninfictional stories and language

I liked this story all around. It was raw. Telling. Dramatic. Alot of what was stated outside of the characters were true.

The plot and the characters 

Overall the book was written very well, it depict a story of black men in the criminal justice system… Well needed well discussed



trust no one

this book is a story of karma and mistrust wow this book was great

Great work

Even though this is fiction, it paints a picture of how justice is meted out in the US. This is a must-read for those who care about justice, especially blacks, so they learn how to navigate the justice system and avoid incarceration.

wow!!!

wow!!! I'm a Donald Goings fan since a kid. This story was awesome. it's classic Donald.

Life In Prison

What a harrowing accounting of life in County Jail and, eventually, prison.

There are no bars held in this book. You will cringe, laugh, and, by the end, cry your heart out.

Goines is not just the most selling Black author in America. He is the most underrated one of the 20th century. Why? Because the color of his skin and the bigotry that floods this country.

The ending of all his books will punch you in the gut and will fold you like a paper bag. But you'll be better off for it.
