OverviewI don't have a problem with negative reviews that address the content of the book. I don't expect everyone to like it and I welcome constructive criticism. But the negative reviews that attack me and try to assassinate my character as retaliation for exposing their racism are childish and only serve to further expose your bigotry through your defensiveness and unwillingness to self reflect. Let's be clear that all the negative reviews on here are from people who have never read the book. And rather than considering that their perspective could possibly be short sighted or narrow minded and they could learn to do better by opening up their world view and adjusting their own thought process, they have instead allowed their own fragile, hurt, pathetic feelings to motivate their immature behavior by lashing out at me because they felt personally attacked. Anyone who feels personally attacked by the title of this book is only reinforcing the title's truth. The accusations and assumptions that are being written about me are nothing more than some people's defense for being upset that their racism has been pointed out to them in plain sight. I, personally, have never shied away from raising and engaging in the necessary and controversial topics that others are too scared to address. Unfortunately, engaging in these issues also brings with it it's share of cowardly bigots who feel the need to launch personal attacks in retaliation to the exposure of their bigotry. Naturally, the people who launch these attacks do so out of fear, ignorance, arrogance, and of course, outright hatred. These character assassinations are thinly veiled attempts to disguise their shallow intellect and inability for intelligent thought. But, as always, we, as white people, will do anything to keep from being called racist, except not be racist. If you find yourself feeling offended or attacked by this book, it's because you know it to be true but are too scared to face it. Toughen up, Snowflake. Do better. With all that being said: As a white man in Amerika, I can tell you that most white people in Amerika, and consequently the world, are racist. However, most of us that are racist have no idea that we're racist. The rest of us are in denial (which itself is racist). Nevertheless, we have no idea that we're racist because we don't understand racism. The majority of us learn about racism through the history of slavery and the subsequent civil rights movement. Due to the limited nature of our exposure and insight to it, we tend to have a very parochial and misguided understanding of racism and how it works. Subsequently, our racist attitudes and beliefs aren't necessarily conscious or intentional decisions that we made. They're usually developed as a result of our misunderstanding of racism. This book outlines and explains some of the most common aspects of the racism that we as white people develop which often go overlooked, unnoticed, and misunderstood. It attempts to clarify the nuances and subtleties of our racism in easy to understand terms. Any white person with any shred of desire to eliminate racism will be able to gain a much better understanding of just what it is we're fighting and how to fight it by reading this book Full Product DetailsAuthor: Caleb MurpheyPublisher: Independently Published Imprint: Independently Published Dimensions: Width: 14.00cm , Height: 0.90cm , Length: 21.60cm Weight: 0.200kg ISBN: 9798510837858Pages: 166 Publication Date: 26 May 2021 Audience: General/trade , General Format: Paperback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: Temporarily unavailable ![]() The supplier advises that this item is temporarily unavailable.
