Summary: anathema to wackos everywhere
Review: I decided to get this book after hearing on the news of death threats and the ransacking of a newspaper office by angry "students" following the publication of an article by Mr. Horowitz. I thought to myself, "If this many people are upset at this guy, he must have something important to say."I was right. David Horowitz has the chutzpah to say what many are afraid to out of fear or even the deep-rooted guilt that whites today have been saddled with. He has definitely earned his nickname of "the most dangerous man in america" and it is no wonder to me why there is such violent opposition to him wherever he speaks. I would recommend this book to anyone who would like a realistic perspective on what is really the most overt form of racism today.

Summary: One word: Disgusting!
Review: ...This book has numerous falsehoods and generalizations too numerous to mention all here. We all know there are profound diffrences to the way that America has treated whites and minorities. We know this. Everyone, but Horowitz does. He uses .left wing radicals, obscure radicals with almost no support from anyone, and uses that to paint a broad picture of the entire Left! Kind of silly, don't you think? This book is not for those with a even objective view of race relations. But a waste of time for non racists.

Summary: A good, thought-provoking read
Review: The Civil Rights movement began with noble purpose and was helmed by a great man, Reverend Martin Luther King. But somewhere, with the assistance of the American Left, the mission was distorted and the ideals warped in ways that are cynical, malicious and, ironically, terribly racist. Horowitz is one of the few writers in today's society to suggest publicly that the racial policies and politics of today are unacceptable and unfair to everyone. He is willing to to point out the hypocrisy, the double standards and the ignorance of "politically correct" policies and maintains that they contribute greatly to the present chasm between black and white culture. He's not afraid to take the Sharptons, Farrakhans, Cochrans and Jacksons to task for being some of the most racist individuals in politics today. Horowitz, a former Left Wing radical turned Conservative is the Left's greatest nightmare because he knows how the Left does (and doesn't) think.

Summary: An Update
Review: Hello Folks, somewhere back in the thread is my original review. At first I was, like many another, impressed and a little disturbed with Horowitz' chapter on the Clinton/China connection. However, if you will check the article in ... for February 16, 2001, you will see definitive proof that this scandal is essentially that of the GEORGE H. W. BUSH administration. Hence, we have, as a nation, simply given the keys to the candy-store back to the original thieves! David if you're reading this, I expect an apology, or at least a disclaimer, saying you're sorry you helped to subvert our national security.

Summary: Liberal Racism AND other causes
Review: A wonderfully well-written book on the political correctness running amok in today's world. A devastating critique of the liberal elite who cry over fictitious intolerance while practicing a high degree of that very intolerance themselves. Sure to be labelled as "far-right" and "racist" because it does not bow to the liberal closed-minded mantra of objective truth, this book should be read by those who still care to think for themselves. Covering topics in racism, academia, and foreign affairs, it is a fascinating, poignant, and quick read for anyone who wants an insightful critique of the liberal elite.

Summary: Did not live up to my rather high expectations.
Review: I bought this book expecting it to be about the notorious South Boston crime boss, James "Whitey" Bulger. Imagine my disappointment when I discover it's yet another barely-coherent conglomation of poorly-written far-right racist fluff. I feel cheated.

Summary: Hating Whitey: Fighting words for the left
Review: Horowitz shows us how inseparable our culture and politics are, and it might also be said that he shows us how insufferable they are. Though he does not entirely succeed, Horowitz makes an attempt to be fair about his attacks on the liberal left. He is especially rough on the extreme leftists, and exposes their frailties with convincing evidence. It is important to know that Horowitz was once an extreme leftist himself, and that his disenchantment with the left grew out of his unhappy association with the black panthers, a radical group from the 60's. Over all, this book is an eye opener, and Horowitz is no intellectual slouch. There is a lot of information here, and Horowitz backs up his factual statements with convincing evidence. Even if you disagree with his political views, you will come away understanding much about how and why conservatives share a common ground in American culture.

Summary: Exploring how the left uses minorities as their pedestal
Review: This book really comes in two very different parts. Most of the book is based primarily on the author's personal experiences in domestic politics and his recognition of the hypocrisies of the left. And, partly because of his first person stories, this part of the book is compelling and convincing. The last section of the book, however, deals mostly with foreign policy in which the author seems out of his depth and relies on quoting Bill Gertz and others for material. That said, the book as whole still rates highly. The book pays particular attention to the way the left uses minorities as its pedestal - depending on (and therefore perpetuating) minorities' low socio-economic status to elevate its own political beliefs and ambitions. The author explains how Black Americans toe the line of the political left. He dispels the notions of institutional racism by citing the many instances in which institutions (Congress, universities) were the impetus for the Civil Rights movement. He points up the hypocrisy of hate crimes by comparing cases like that of James Byrd's to those of Reginald Denny and others, and by citing the fact that 85% of all interracial violence is black on white. He discusses how affirmative action helps prepare blacks for failure (eg: black college enrollment has gone up by only 2% since the sixties, but blacks now make it into more competitive schools despite having an average of 100 points lower on their SATs than whites at the same school. The result is a dropout rate TWICE the rate of whites.) Many other examples abound as the author makes powerful arguments for his points of view. In one of my favorite parts of the book, the author discusses his days helping the Black Panther party as a journalist and fundraiser. He believed then that he was promoting a just cause, whatever the means. But he also makes the reader feel his sense of fear and outrage at the actions of certain individuals in the Party. The shock value of these chapters alone is worth the price of the book.

Summary: A disturbing look inside the New Left
Review: The liberals like to talk about how 'tolerant' they are and of welcoming 'diversity'. But Horowitz uses data gathered from leading academic, media, entertainment, government, and other defining cultural institution and shows that liberals are anything but tolerant, and have no use for diversity when it comes to the realms of ideas. Many people accuse the media of being "anti white", and there have been backlashes against programs that seek to move certain groups into suburban neighborhoods. Horowitz provides evidence that to some extent, the charges are accurate. Many people who work in both media and academia are educated using an essentially Marxist model, Horowitz shows. Marxism requires that an oppressor and an oppressed class be defined, and that a struggle be fomented between these classes, as a means for moving nations toward socialism. Horowitz shows how whites have been demonized as the "oppresors", and certain minorities have been misrepresented as perpetual victim classes by the far left, in an effort to promote Marxism and socialism in the United States. Horowitz makes a powerful case that many liberals in government and academia have now succeeded in creating a culture in which anti-white racism is not only tolerated, but is promoted. No longer directly concerned with a means for advancing Marixsm in America, many people now simply find it conevenient to blame white people for their problems, and use the rhetoric of racism to obtain undue benefits. A very thought provioking book, to say the least.

Summary: Horowitz - tells it like it is
Review: In, Hating Whitey, Horowitz presents not only an assessment of race relations in America but general aborrations of various political figures as well. Horowitz places several of his articles from Salon.com into this book giving a slim, right winged view and definition of the "new left." I thought this book was excellent, personally. Horowitz has a distinct writing style that is straightforward and he is never afraid to tell you how he truly feels. Some of his articles will alarm you to some facts you never knew. These discoveries just add that more to the literary value of this book.
