Description
Debunking 25 of the most common claims used to refute America's racist past and present, Keith Boykin takes a critical look at the most toxic racial arguments. He argues that these arguments share certain traits, including attempts to erase Black history, prioritize white victimhood, deny Black oppression, promote myths of Black inferiority, or rebrand racism as something else entirely.
Boykin uses a combination of personal experience, reportage, and extensive research to expose the lies, myths, and misinformation surrounding issues like affirmative action, Critical Race Theory, and the Civil War. He provides a clear and concise refutation of these arguments, backed by history and knowledge.
This book offers a valuable tool for understanding the most widespread deceptions about race and how to counter them with truth and evidence. By examining 25 of the most common claims, Boykin helps readers to see through the misinformation and move towards racial justice.
