Completely upends the myths of "racism" as some sort of unfortunate transistory phenomenon, the situation of whites as comparable to other groups and the idea that radical movements are some sort of white-only thing. It has problems that are inevitable for a pretty short book - many areas being somewhat rushed through - but it still manages to be pretty comprehensive of what it does cover and to clearly and forcefully show the truth of what it argues. Absolutely essential and it's fucked up (but unsurprising) how little of what's discussed here is considered by the "radical" left and how little follow up there's been on the points raised which are essential to challenging the reality of the imperialist, capitalist system.

This is well done and critical reading.
Apparently leftist who aren't Black tend to have hurt feelings about this.
So proceed with caution if you're racist. ( )
