Summary: Tremendous collection of essays.
Review: I saw David Horowitz on a television program decided to get the book. Well, I got the book and it's a stunning expose of the forces that are deliberately tearing our country apart and imparting a message of hate toward not only fellow Americans, but toward the very core ideas and principles of our country. In some ways, this book should be called "Hating America". It's writers like the author who continue the color blind and equal society envisioned by Martin Luther King, Jr. I suspect the author will be demonized in the same way as the early civil rights workers, but I hope he can endure and keep telling the truth.

Summary: A must read
Review: If you have fallen for the liberal media's portrayal of race relations this book will open your eyes like no other. Horowitz has done the research and refutes every liberal falsehood and myth about race with solid statistics and facts. He exposes the true agenda of the race hustlers that dominate the media and the halls of academia.

Summary: David Horowitz for President
Review: There is no need to reiterate the many supurb points made by previous reviewers. Suffice it to say that David Horowitz is prophetic on the issue of race in American and his critique of the bankrupt black leadership and their liberal bedfellows should be required reading by all. Horowitz possesses the uncommon courage to say what most thinking people think but are afraid to express. Let us all have the courage and the intellectural honesty he has.

Summary: Frightening. Better than King or Coontz!
Review: David Horowitz has become my favorite 'Ghost Buster'. He has taken the ability to find bogeymen lurking in every corner to a high art. First, as a self-confessed 'Leftist', it was the evil totalitarian Capitalists (Right-wing Fascists, Nazis, ad nauseam) who were plotting to enslave all of humanity. Now, as a self-professed 'conservative intellectual', he presents to us the image of the evil, totalitarian Communist (Socialist, Leftist, ad nauseam) who is plotting to enslave all of humanity. He is right, of course, in both of his assessments. Everyone wants to enslave everyone else. My mother was a slave to my incessant demands for the nourishment and comfort provided by her warm breasts and I am glad of it. I was a slave to my own needs of sustenance whether I chose to hunt and gather, paint a neighbor's house or enslave myself to the 'system' for the benefit of myself and my children. Hating Whitey is extremely entertaining and has gotten my adrenaline pumping better than Stephen King or Dean Coontz has ever been able to. The problem I am having however is the extreme discomfort I now feel 'knowing' that: 1. A Russian general, in May of 1999, has threatened to 'detonate a nuclear device in the lower atmosphere off the Eastern United States', and 2. The Chinese have threatened Los Angeles with a 'nuclear attack over the Taiwan issue.' And, 3. The likelihood exists that 'the Beijing dictatorship [will have] hundreds of missiles aimed at American cities.' in five or ten years because of our president's corruption. (Page 263). If the charges are true, someone please tell me where I can verify them as facts.

Summary: More Of The Same
Review: Another collection of anti-black essays in the spirit of "The Race Card : White Guilt, Black Resentment, and the Assault on Truth and Justice." Most of these essays plow through well-tilled material from Horowitz's back catalog.

Summary: Politically unacceptable-must be true!
Review: Horowitz is a man of passion and honor, willing to take on all comers-even the ideologically twisted, hate-mavens of the liberal Left.The essays Horowitz organized into "Hating Whitey" compare favorably with another work, "Transfer- the end of the beginning", by Jerry Furland. "Transfer", reality based fiction, is a seminal work as eye-opening and informative as "Hating Whitey". Like "Transfer", "Hating Whitey" lays bare the ideology that will underpin and enable the terrifying outcome Furland has constructed. "Transfer" is a manifestly clear-eyed vision of a society hurtling into the future, adroitly programmed by the unholy, Media-Government-Academia, trinity. Chilling parallels-the once and future America. "Hating Whitey, and Other Progressive Causes" should, along with "Transfer-the end of the beginning", be the first two books on everyone's reading list.

Summary: Long Overdue, Urgently Needed
Review: Racism, in all its forms, by all its many practitioners, black, white, Hispanic, Asian, Indian and a myriad other ethnic groups, be they majorities or minorities, is a barbarous threat to civilized society. It represents the very worst and most destructive elements of human nature. If we are to succeed as a society, we must grow up and get beyond it. We must. David Horowitz has done a tremendous service in stripping this ugly and dangerous socio-cultural cancer of its pseudo-academic and deceptive trappings. He has laid bare the utter hypocrisy of the self-acclaimed black leadership today and insightfully revealed the extent to which their so-called "leadership" sociologically and economically cripples the black community, turning the focus on hatred, violence and destruction rather than getting on with the task of taking personal responsibility for life, success and progress. He has performed a tremendous service in stripping away the illusion of "righteousness" on the part of the sanctimonious left in perpetrating a "politically correct" doctrine of universal destruction underwritten by the rubber check of victimization. This book is a "must read" for all high-school students, and all Americans.

Summary: The Book of the Year
Review: This is a sophisticated and shrewd analysis of the hypocrisy of contemporary civil rights leaders and of the American Left in general. If the totalitarianism of the politically correct Liberal culture can be defeated, it will be done because of brilliant works such as this. This collection of essays will undoubtedly serve as the staging ground for the culture war debate of the 21st century. Horowitz is at his best when he demythologizes the pompous and deceptive lies of the Liberal establishment. He reveals, in the most profound manner, how something has gone perniciously wrong in the way that social discourse, especially on the issue of race, is now conducted in the American political arena. The author achieves this in a provocative and original manner. As always, of course, Horowitz will have his detractors. But calling Horowitz names and engaging in character assassination -- as the criticisms of his work always do - will unfortunately only scratch the surface of the complexity of history. And it is that complexity that Horowitz approaches with a cunning and astute scholarly disposition. He crystallizes for us the reverse racism that is molded by many Black civil rights leaders and demonstrates how this ideology betrays the color-blind society envisioned by Martin Luther King. Horowitz goes on to do much more, as the essays in this volume reach far and wide. One particularly valuable piece is long overdue: Horowitz slices apart the specious nonsense of "cultural theorist" Bell Hooks, whose work has distinguished itself as the most supercilious asininity that has ever posed as intellectual "deconstruction" of democratic-capitalist society. By so successfully exposing the self-hatred that masquerades as social criticism in Hook's work, Horowitz isolates the root of the pathology in the Leftwing mindset: the ultimate alienation from, and hatred of, life and self. Overall, this volume of essays blends into a wonderful masterpiece. David Horowitz deserves much praise for this priceless and important work, as well as for the intellectual clarity, personal integrity, and intestinal fortitude that it took to write it.

Summary: Thank GOD someone finally said it.
Review: I would like to thank David Horowitz for finally writing the truth. What so many people wanted to said for years, but were scared of being labeled a biggot. For anyone who say he is a racist you are a pretentious fool. With all of the double standards in todays society against causcasions, it's about time that someone has the gaul to point it out. Slavery ended 130 years ago, civil right ended over 30 years ago. You'd think they would get there act together.
