A friend recently turned me onto the book: "Attack on the White Male and the Weakening of America" by Dr. DeFelice. I feel this book is an essential read for the young men who aren't aware that they are having the tables turned so far around on them, and are being painted by the rest of the country as rich, bigoted, over-privileged a-holes, and that their rights are slowly being stripped away. I am simply floored by DeFelice's straightforward, honest discussion with the young white man he is trying to reach.
The topic of reverse discrimination has been an extremely controversial and difficult to debate. Many of us have heard whispers here and there about the injustices that affirmative action laws have done to non-minority groups, when quite honestly, there should be a roar. Why is this?
Fear. The liberal media has taken to calling anyone who might call for ACTUAL color-blind equal opportunity as racist and bigoted, or those who disapprove of more qualified men being passed over for promotions in place of women, just to meet quota, as misogynists. There seems no ability to sit down and have a logical debate about the effectiveness of these laws. The minorities in favor use irrelevant emotional arguments and anyone who points it out is written off as a bigot.
Let me point out that anyone who is alive today to have seen the remnants of slavery was not old enough at the time to have actually owned slaves. As a white female whose American lineage can be traced as far back as the time of the revolution, I can honestly say there is a good chance that someone in my ancestry had a part in slavery. And yet I certainly don’t give my racially mixed family members more chores to do when they visit my home! My sons don’t have a racist bone in their body, and their girlfriends are very intelligent, strong willed young women.
Seeing as the only strong argument I ever hear in favor of affirmative action is due to all of the harm “we” have caused minorities, why is it my sons, who have never done anything to harm these groups, are being passed over for scholarships while their half-Hispanic cousin has a free ride to college? My nephew is no dummy, but neither are my boys. They have all been at about the same level of ability, grades, and extracurricular activities, yet because of the color of their skin, I have to go into debt to give them an opportunity to succeed in life. Then entering the workforce, they have to contend with racial quotas. Author Dr. DeFelice mentions in his book, “Attack on the White Male and the Weakening of America”, that colleges consistently hold “diversity days” and fail to invite white males!
I truly dream of a world where I am not asked my racial background on every legal document I sign. I dream of a world where competition and greater skill choose our leaders for tomorrow, and not the amount of melanin in our skin or the nature of our genitals.
Discrimination is wrong. To try to make right the injustices done to minorities by doing injustices to people of a majority is ridiculous, and someone needs to stand up for the white male and demand freedom from discrimination. Women outnumber men. And minority groups, when combined into one, outnumber whites. If all of the minority groups get together and fight for this legalized discrimination, who becomes the minority? Now who can't speak up for fear of attack??

124 pages, short book.

Can you break down what chapter 5 and 6 is about, please?

Thanks for the recommendation and review.

I'll be honest. I got a little lost with the Chapter, "The Power of the Orgasm" This may be because I am female, reading a book intended for a young male audience.
Chapter 5 though, when broken down, is really all about the competitiveness of life and of nature. It is natural for animals, including the human animal to compete. Being people, we all have the opportunity to compete on the same grounds, but not all having the capability, we must find a way to survive accordingly. Not everyone will be equal. I loved the Kipling quote at the beginning of the chapter, "Before you enter the jungle, make sure you know what size animal you are." Let me reaffirm a point of this book--- that the abundance or lack of melanin in the human animal's skin plays NO part in determining their capabilities. As such, it should play no part in the selection of our employees, bosses, politicians, leaders, educators, etc.

In a perfect world for sure .. but we hardly live in a perfect world

really good review, now i'm interested in this book, where can i buy it or read it?

It sounds interesting, but is this a psychological book, a scientific one or a novel?

Sounds more like a rant to me

He approaches the subject from a lot of angles, mostly using easy to understand language. I'd say more than anything it is philosophical. I'll admit, certain areas are more rant than discussion, but the author has a lot of passion about his topic. It really is an interesting read.

Thanks for sharing I'll look into it in my spare time.
