David Horowitz: Hating Whitey and Other Progressive Causes

Spence Publishing Company, 2000 (1999)     Amazon.com

Back Cover:

Branded a “real live bigot” for bucking the party line on race, David Horowitz shows that the anti-white racism of the Left remains one of the few taboo subjects in America. A former confidant of the Black Panthers and the author of Radical Son, David Horowitz lays bare the liberal attack on “whiteness” – the latest battle in the war against American democracy.

“Horowitz is angry and polemical, but he is also a clear and ruthless thinker. What he says has an indignant sanity about it.”  Lance Morrow, Time

“No one picks apart the pretensions of the civil rights crowd quite the way Horowitz does.”  Fred Barnes, The Weekly Standard

“This is a raw and courageous book that turns over some rocks and shows what is crawling underneath. it reveals the ugly reality behind the pretty and politically correct words and visions of our time.”  Thomas Sowell, author of The Quest for Cosmic Justice

“His prose is splendidly savage and invigoratingly rude. David Horowitz has a message to deliver, and if he offends someone in the process, that’s just too bad.”  National Review

Review:

“Indignant Sanity; a right-wing convert’s different view on race.

Anyone who thinks about the trouble between blacks and whites in America encounters a secondary division, almost as old. This is the line between what might be called the Externalists and the Internalists.

Externalists, who tend toward the political left, say that America’s racial problems are to be addressed through outside interventions (affirmative action, busing and other government programs to repair the damage of the past and enforce racial justice). Internalists, who are apt to be conservative, stress solutions that require efforts from the inside: education, hard work, self-motivation, morale, bourgeois values, deferred gratification, the old immigrant virtues (turn off the TV, shut down the gangsta rap).

David Horowitz – the onetime ’60s radical and ally of the Black Panthers who eventually went through a Whittaker Chambers-like conversion that he documented in a memoir, Radical Son – is a bracing, abrasive Internalist.”  Lance Morrow, Time Magazine [clearly the same review as the one cited on the back cover – JOB]
