“Dr. Conrad uses this measured tone throughout as he wrestles with the complexities of race in twenty first century America. He provides a historical framework on the roots of disparity in our society and explains how disparities are perpetuated. Then he offers a new approach to inclusion...All in all, I found this book to be fascinating reading.”

The Fragile Mind: How It Has Produced and Unwittingly Perpetuates America's Tragic Disparities.
Book Excerpt: "Perhaps nothing is more complex in America than race relations. While there has been substantial progress since the Civil rights Act of 1964, people of color, especially Blacks, have yet to experience proportionate levels of economic success. For this to happen, we must reject the misguided "either/or" notion in popular discourse that claims either outright discrimination by Whites, or a lack or personal responsibility by black is the cause of the sobering disparities. We must recognize that we are all complicit in this problem, and the culprit is our fragile minds. As brilliant as the human mind is, its design sometimes works against us - particularly when dealing with people from different backgrounds. The mind's fragility has resulted in individual, institutional and structural bias by some Whites in America, as well as complacency and irresponsibility by some Blacks to perpetuate disparities between the two groups. The answers to Black and White are hardly ever black and white, they are usually gray."
