Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On February 18, 2009, US Attorney General Eric Holder threw down a new gauntlet inThe arena of racial relations in our country: "...One cannot truly understand America without understanding the historical experience of black people in this nation. Simply put, to get to the heart of this country one must examine its racial soul. Though this nation has proudly thought of itself as an ethnic melting pot, in things racial we have always been and continue to be, in too many ways, essentially a nation of cowards. Though race-related issues continue to occupy a significant portion of our political discussion, and though there remain many unresolved racial issues in this nation, we, average Americans, simply do not talk enough with each other about race. It is an issue we have never been at ease with, and given our nation's history this is in some ways understandable. And yet, if we are to make progress in this area we must feel comfortable enough with one another, and tolerant enough of each other, to have frank conversations about the racial matters that continue to divide us..." Now a book answers Mr. Holder's challenge: "Pardon My Prejudice, America's Excuse for Bigotry," by David Goldenberg. Everyone can identify with that awkward feeling of discomfort just as someone blurts out a stupid racial or ethnic remark. What do you say? Should you confront this person? Why was it said at all? Is this a random act, or does it reflect a greater threat of violence? "Pardon My Prejudice, America's Excuse for Bigotry," is a candid book about this relevant issue. At least 50,000 hate crimes are reported in the US every year. The majority of these crimes are committed by everyday folks, not those affiliated with the over 900 extremist organizations. Hate crimes against gays and lesbians have increased over 300% in the past decade. Statistics show that homosexuals are violently attacked more than any other minority--6 times more than Jews or Hispanics, and twice as much as African Americans. Prejudice, racism and bigotry are alive and well in America. "Pardon My Prejudice, America's Excuse for Bigotry," educates the reader by analyzing the ways that we learn prejudice, perpetuate it, and rationalize it. The object is not to judge or blame, but to discover how our learned behaviors are reflected in our society, in our lifestyles, and in our children. Goldenberg's anecdotes and observations make this sensitive subject matter approachable. The stories about Europe and Dachau are emotionally compelling. Goldenberg's personal encounters with neighborhood bigots are honest and ironically funny. This book looks at those who hate Blacks, Jews, Mexicans, Gays and most recently, Muslims. It challenges the religious right and shows how the media exploits minorities and Middle Easterners. Thought provoking, informative, and entertaining, "Pardon My Prejudice" captures our current mindset and attitudes. No matter what point of view they have, readers will see themselves in a new light.

Americans have built an empire on the idea of “race,” a falsehood that damages us all but falls most heavily on the bodies of black women and men—bodies exploited through slavery and segregation, and, today, threatened, locked up, and murdered out of all proportion. What is it like to inhabit a black body and find a way to live within it? And how can we all honestly reckon with this fraught history and free ourselves from its burden? Between the World and Me is Ta-Nehisi Coates’s attempt to answer these questions in a letter to his adolescent son. Coates shares with his son—and readers—the story of his awakening to the truth about his place in the world through a series of revelatory experiences, from Howard University to Civil War battlefields, from the South Side of Chicago to Paris, from his childhood home to the living rooms of mothers whose children’s lives were taken as American plunder. Beautifully woven from personal narrative, reimagined history, and fresh, emotionally charged reportage, Between the World and Me clearly illuminates the past, bracingly confronts our present, and offers a transcendent vision for a way forward.

Book excerpt: "Experiencing Racism provides a thought-provoking and thorough analysis of how race is lived in America. Collecting essays on personal experiences of race and racism from a wide spectrum of college students, the authors employ existing social science literature and textual analysis to illustrate common themes and departures. The essays and associated analyses capture the impact of racism on its perpetrators and victims, highlighting how individuals choose to cope with racist experiences in their lives. Relevant empirical literature is interwoven throughout the chapters to demonstrate the intersection between existing empirical research and real-life experiences. This book is a depiction of race in America that goes beyond black and white to show how the changing racial contours of America are impacting the ways we view and experience racism."--Page 4 of cover.

Download or read book Unmasking Prejudice written by Melodye Hilton and published by Atlantic Publishing Company. This book was released on 2019 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prejudice is a word that is often associated solely with race. However, the truth is that we "pre-judge" all the time based upon countless factors, including gender, age, race, beliefs, politics, or any other infinite number of minute differences; it is a common habit for all of humanity to form an opinion without facts, firsthand experience, and without empathy and value for our fellow man. What if these habits changed? What if our default response was first to love, to learn, and to listen? In "Unmasking Prejudice: Silencing the Internal Voice of Bigotry", Dr. Melodye Hilton thoughtfully addresses:- The many faces of prejudice and bigotry;- Pre-judgment and assumption as societal stumbling blocks;- The dangers of gossip, rumors, and slander;- The personal pain of prejudice through real-life stories; and- Our responsibility as humans to stop devaluation by representing a restorative influence."Unmasking Prejudice: Silencing the Internal Voice of Bigotry" invites all of us to recognize and remove the hidden masks of prejudice so that we can have a hand in changing the cultural narrative and bringing healing to our land.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In these impassioned, powerful essays, an award-winning journalist deals forthrightly with what it means to be Black in an America that still supports Trump. South Carolina–based journalist Issac J. Bailey reflects on a wide range of complex, divisive topics—from police brutality and Confederate symbols to respectability politics and white discomfort—which have taken on a fresh urgency with the protest movement sparked by George Floyd’s killing. Bailey has been honing his views on these issues for the past quarter of a century in his professional and private life, which included an eighteen-year stint as a member of a mostly white Evangelical Christian church. Why Didn’t We Riot? speaks to and for the millions of Black and Brown people throughout the United States who were effectively pushed back to the back of the bus in the Trump era by a media that prioritized the concerns and feelings of the white working class and an administration that made white supremacists giddy, and explains why the country’s fate in 2020 and beyond is largely in their hands. It will be an invaluable resource for the everyday reader, as well as political analysts, college professors and students, and political consultants and campaigns vying for high office.
