White Man's Justice, Black Man's Grief

By: Donald Goines

Narrated by: 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.

Loved it

Such a turn of events in this book. Everything kept me locked in an considered my own life. Be careful of the company you keep. While always watch what you say and who you say it too.

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.

The injustice to Black people.

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