What this book is, What this book is not.
One reviewer claims its filled with 'hate' and 'antisemitism' odd, since one of the writers, Michael Levin, is jewish. The reviewer obviously didn't not read the book because he makes wild assertions that it contains passages about 'jews controlling the world' - it does nothing of the kind. Please disregard unsubtaniated claims like this - they are meant to scare you away from the real issues. There is not an ounce of 'hate' in this book, and intelligent people have come to realize that the people screaming "hate" and "racism" have no other recourse to the arguments presented in this book. The book is a collection of essays from "American Renaissance" magazine (yes it is a 'controversial' magazine/website/author (Jared Taylor) - covering race relations from a scientific, historical, philosophical and current perspective (which is roughly how the book is divided). I admit I found the ideas and even the idea of American Renaissance itself uncomfortable...but reason kept speaking to me.... The two most important things I walked away with from reading this book are the following:: a. much as liberals detest creationists, when it comes to ideology trumping science - the liberal left are far more guilty. Ignoring the overwhelming scientific data about the difference between races (much of it covered in the book). b. "diversity" and "multiculturalism" are ONE WAY streets - for whites - every ethnic activist group that demand that Whites be color blind and open their borders, demand ethnic solidarity amongst their own. Thus a Mexican activist group has no problem demanding both open borders for the US and supporting the militarization and protection of mexico's border from Gutamala. Think about it - if it's prejudiced for whites to ask the country be more white, why is it 'ok' for say, Hispanics to demand that their be more Hispanics? Whether you are liberal or conservative, this book will challenge a lot of your assumptions, especially scientific ones - and make you realize that other than inertia and dogma, current views about the races (that there are no basic differences) are as scientific as the flat earth theory. What comes to mind when i read shrill reactions to this book and other evidence is quote, attributed to Galelio: " "My dear Kepler, what would you say of the learned here, who, replete with the pertinacity of the asp, have steadfastly refused to cast a glance through the telescope? What shall we make of this? Shall we laugh, or shall we cry?" --Letter from Galileo Galilei to Johannes Kepler " Remember, anytime people are name calling chances are they don't have a reasonable rebuttal.
