This brilliant book should be required reading for every brainwashed self-hating white person in the world. It just might wake them up to the gigantic con job they've fallen for.
Goad is an extraordinarily good writer and he frequently surprised me with the clarity of the insights in this book. If only this book was a set text in all American universities ... but if it was, the entire education system might spontaneously self destruct. ...more

White self loathing will end......someday
Whites desperately need a sense of identity we have forgotten who we are. This is not a hate filled book it's only hate it the left disagrees with you. Read this book and be proud of who you are. ...more

Years ago I remember reading about the "Doll Test," a saddening study about how black children preferred to play with white dolls rather than dolls who looked like themselves. Psychologists (including I think, Kenneth Clark, instrumental in the "Brown V. Board" landmark case) set themselves to the task of finding ways to teach black children that they were not inferior and were the equals of whites. I am way too young to remember any of this firsthand, but as much as the Baby Boomers get lambast

Oh my. This Jim Goad is crazy. Howeverrrrrrrr, he makes a lot, A. Lot. Of good points. I don’t know if there was a show, a movie or a book, but I know there was something called “Dear White People”. Well, I would like to nominate this book as a counter to that. And no. Reading this book will not make you “racist”.
I have yet to be disappointed by a Jim Goad book.
Bad white person

There is nothing inherently wrong with white people. Claiming white people are inherently racist and evil dehumanizes them. This is what NAZI Germany did to the Jews. Therefore anytime someone charges the white race as being inherently racist they are acting like The National Socialists of Germany past. So now what......

So many truths....makes one wonder: what is happening to the common sense of some white people and why are some blacks still believing they are victims. Lots of facts that the media ignored.

Thought-provoking
Jim Goad’s take on racism is well worth your time, and his writing is superb. For a new look at self-hating whites in the USA, and a satisfying read, buy this book!

Any White women reading this trash will be repeatedly reminded -- from page 1 on -- what is seriously wrong with WiMPfas. Understand that it will never change, it will only get worse. Please, White women, do not continue to spread yer legs & pretend to like a dick in you. Please stop creating more of these monsters. Let the WiMPfa die hating on you, screeching like a pussy, & being the outright coward that he truly is.
Some of it made sense, and repeats what I've said for years. Some of it is pretty iffy, and I can see why he would antagonize people. People are people, and no one is ever going to agree 100% with anyone else, and that's pretty definite. P.S. This was my son's revenge for all the things that I suggest he should read!

First, this book isn't for everybody. Many will find it offensive - my guess is the author wanted it to be that way.
Secondly, I have always admired Jim Goad's writing style - which could be described as a shout to the mind's ear rather than a conversation.
Finally, many of the points are sound. I especially enjoyed the chapter about Iowa. ...more

Not politically correct, this book shows how 8 years of Obama has inflamed race relations and how it has become a crime to be white.

“(In case you were unaware, “woke” is a term used by urban teens to describe a mental state in which one believes they are cognizant of how the world really works but instead wouldn’t have a clue if it slapped them in the face. Saying that someone is “woke” is a hip way of saying that they suffer from late-stage Dunning-Kruger effect.)”
