Overview

“Few things are as rare as an honest book about race. This is one of the very few, and one of the very best.”
—Thomas Sowell
 
For decades, the Left has been putting on a play with themselves as heroes in an ongoing civil rights movement—from which they were mostly absent at the time.
 
Ann Coulter fearlessly explains the real history of race relations in this country, including how white liberals twist that history to spring the guilty, accuse the innocent, and engender racial hatreds, all in order to win politically.
 
She shines the light of truth on cases ranging from Tawana Brawley to the LA riots and the Duke lacrosse scandal. And she shows how the Obama presidency has inspired the greatest racial guilt mongering of all time.

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
In her signature fashion, Ann Coulter contends that Republicans have been—and still are—the true champions of racial equality in the United States. She argues that it was only after racial equality was achieved in the late 1960s that Democrats decided to take up the cry for equality. This effort, she insists, took the form of race baiting and—for the last 40 years—tricking minority groups into believing that racial issues still exist. As a narrator, Coulter proves intolerable to anyone but her most ardent fans. Though her prose is at times snide and condescending, these qualities are significantly amplified via her narration. Regardless of one’s political point of view, Coulter’s tone and attitude quickly prove wearing. Coupled with her voice—which mixes a nasal twinge and elongated pronouncing of vowels—many listeners may find themselves turning off the audiobook before its conclusion. A Sentinel hardcover. (Sept.)
Kirkus Reviews
Venomous conservative political pundit Coulter (Demonic: How the Liberal Mob Is Endangering America, 2011, etc.) delivers a blistering polemic on the issue of race in American politics since the 1960s. Arguing that "after nearly a century of Republicans fighting for civil rights against Democratic segregationists," liberals chose to come out strongly against race discrimination after the mid-1960s passage of landmark civil rights legislation, using the issue to achieve their own goals. Liberals "couldn't care less about black people," she writes. "All they care about is their own glorious selves and how courageous, forward-thinking, and fair-minded they are." Moreover, liberals (notably academia, the media and Hollywood) are to blame for the race-related incidents and controversies of the period, from riots to hoaxes. She recounts headline-making police shootings of blacks, Marion Barry's controversial mayoralty in Washington, D.C., staged racial incidents and innumerable other occasions that became opportunities for liberal accusations of racism. In each instance, Coulter offers factual summaries of incidents laced with snarls over the wrongheadedness of liberal players and their "New-York-Times-Charlie Rose-PBS thinking." Later, she considers white guilt as the animating source for many debacles, including the presidency of Barack Obama. Reading the book is like listening to a Sean Hannity or Rush Limbaugh talk show marathon, except that Coulter is somewhat more entertaining, at least in her brazen, self-satisfied way. Simpatico readers will enjoy her snide, nasty, outrageous provocations. The fair-minded will feel caught in a wind tunnel with no railings to grab for safety. Liberals will quite properly turn their noses up at the book, as Coulter turns her nose up at them.
