  • White Lies - Critical Race Theory and Racism as a Problem of not Being White Rejecting Responsibility for the State of Race Relations and Seldom Admitting White Privilege - cover

    White Lies - Critical Race...

    It's past time for us to break down obstacles to success and education for people of color, speak out against global social injustices, and stop hiding behind the cliché, "I'm white, I can't speak out on the race." In our thoughts, acts, and words, we must be deliberately anti-racist. Someone who claims to be anti-racist may not laugh at a racist joke or remain silent when they hear a racist remark, but this does not make them anti-racist. One of the numerous issues with racism is that it manifests itself in various ways. It has institutional and structural roots, is based on colonial history, and has been passed down through the generations like an unsightly relic. It's outspoken, red-faced, and enraged, willing to assault you on the street. In the absence of representation, in the 'banter' and 'harmless' comments, in the twitching fingers of white people who can't stop themselves from stroking Black people's hair. Racism is multi-faceted and nuanced, and many people aren't even aware that they have racist attitudes. In this book, you will read about critical race theory and racism as a problem of not being white, rejecting responsibility, and seldom admitting white privilege

    Common Sense

    Thomas Paine

    Common Sense was a pamphlet written by Thomas Paine in 1775-1776 advocating independence from Great Britain to people in the 13 Colonies. Writing in clear and persuasive prose, Paine marshaled moral and political arguments to encourage common people in the Colonies to fight for egalitarian government. It was published anonymously on January 10, 1776, at the beginning of the American Revolution, and became an immediate sensation.  
    It was sold and distributed widely and read aloud at taverns and meeting places. In proportion to the population of the colonies at that time (2.5 million), it had the largest sale and circulation of any book published in American history. As of 2006, it remains the all-time best-selling American title, and is still in print today.  
    Common Sense made public a persuasive and impassioned case for independence, which before the pamphlet had not yet been given serious intellectual consideration. Paine connected independence with common dissenting Protestant beliefs as a means to present a distinctly American political identity, structuring "Common Sense" as if it were a sermon. Historian Gordon S. Wood described "Common Sense" as "the most incendiary and popular pamphlet of the entire revolutionary era".

    I Am Not Your Black America! -...

    Forget Every "Black" book you ever read; this Book is NOT "your black" book!This is the story of a first time author, who calls himself "Uncle Meshorn", as he debunks every label by which "uncle sam" has branded him with, including "uncle tom"!If MeShorn is NOT "your black", America, then who is he? 
    As soon as you think you can "box" MeShorn into "one of yours", you will have to embarrassingly pull him out, as you read the next chapter!Yet, this book is not just about who he is, rather who you are.His story will force you to, grudgingly "pull yourself" out of boxes or labels, America has imprisoned you inside, in the name of culture, diversity, community and patriotism! 
    This book is intelligent but is not written by an intellectual.At heart, it is the cry of a child who severely doubted his identity, after being dragged through the muddy life of his gods: his parents, foster parents, and uncles.As an adult, Meshorn had to wake up to the reality of the community he was raised in, "...The search for identity has alienated them from their true selves; the search for roots has UPROOTED them; the search for a 'colored' God has made them GODLESS." 
    As a US Army Officer, in his travels, he discovered that America in search of an identity, likewise, has sold its soul, in exchange for nostalgia of a supposed greatness in the past.He does not believe that America was great or is great, but he can see clearly now that it can become as great as it wants to be.And the only way to become great is to never reply as Cain did when he was asked, "Where is your brother? ... "Am I my brother's keeper?!"

    More than ever, it feels like cultural and political divisions over firearms are tearing the United States apart. Guns are an undeniable and contradictory presence in America, both widely owned and controversial. This book does something remarkable: it promotes insight over animosity in understanding the complex reality of guns in America. It challenges firearms skeptics, entertains enthusiasts, and informs the uncommitted by taking readers on a surprising journey inside gun culture. 
    A lifelong liberal from the San Francisco Bay Area, David Yamane became a new gun owner as a 42-year-old and embarked on an immersive twelve-year study of American gun culture. Weaving together his personal experiences and sociological observations to explain why guns make sense to those who own them, he illuminates defensive gun ownership, the risk of negative outcomes associated with firearms, and what responsible gun ownership looks like in the twenty-first century. This book lowers the heat on America’s inflamed arguments about firearms and models the civil discussions we desperately need.
