Maybe this book's message can help temper the racial divide?? An olive branch perhaps?

I agree. Definitely an olive branch - Mrs. Tingles - sm

I have seen this author before awhile back. He always offers great insight into situations going on.

An olive branch is a good description. I wish we had more people like him trying to get the people to come together, instead of dividing people like the current guy and his administration is doing.

Thanks for posting this. Going to order the book.

Again with the olive branch - NK

How is it an olive branch, and who's offering it?

Racism from a black guy is still racism. - sm

He just echoes the narrative of the right vocal minority that racism either doesn't exist and/or that racism is not a real problem. The right's idea of an "olive branch" is to get black people to agree that black people and/or liberals are the actual problem and racism otherwise would not exist. Only problem is, Jason Riley is out there spotting racism on MSNBC (see link) so therefore talking out of both sides of his mouth. Racism exists when it fits the political agenda of the right, yet somehow it does not exist when it doesn't fit their narrative. Sounding familiar yet?

He's nothing more than Rupert Murdoch's paid hack at the Wall Street Journal and at Fox News (Rupert owns them both) who is paid to blow the whistle on racism that doesn't exist unless they need it to exist for a few news cycles.

There is no racism - GET - A - GRIP!

You people really do need a new line.

Created a faux racism when there is none does not help your case.

Talk about paranoia and whining... - Holy cow!

That sounds much more like the - dems.

"blow the whistle on racism that doesn't exist unless they need it to exist for a few news cycles." Except that the dems not only do it for a few news cycles, they pull it out any time someone doesn't agree with the president. And of course, they completely ignore it when one of their own starts spouting about how Condoleeza Rice is an Aunt Jemima, Colin Powell is an Uncle Tom, and can't count how many times just in the past month Kentucky "progressives" have have bad-mouthed Mitch McConnell's wife because she's Asian - that one must be popular now, as even Harry Reid has chimed in.

I've got some news for you. - sm

Poverty isn't racist. It affects many whites, as well.

Yeah, the Dow is over 17,000, and the S&P broke a record today.

I wonder how much money was made by a couple with four children (white OR black) who are each working two jobs at minimum wage in these Untied States of America, often making so little that they qualify for food stamps after working all those hours!

Once again, and as usual, it's the RICH that are getting richer, and the poor white AND black people just can't afford to feed their families any more. The middle class is getting smaller and smaller.

This is the wealthy versus the poor, NOT white versus black.

And it's just the way the Tpubs want it!

Exactly the way the democrats want it - Lets get that last statement correct

Ask losers like Paul Ryan if he would like to - sm

raise the minimum wage.

My original statement was correct, as far as what I SEE and HEAR Cons' very own words. They're against it and want to get rid of a minimum wage altogether. The don't WANT a middle class in this country and have all but destroyed it.

47%, etc.!

And my last statement WAS correct!

Yep, them dems have been the party of enslavement - well over 100 years....

Yes, and those enslaved don't see it. - sm

They think the democratic party is for them, but nothing could be further from the truth. Entitlement begets entitlement begets entitlement ad infinitum for generation after generation when that is all they know. I could say so much more, but I will probably be flamed for this as it is. Bottom line, it's sad that those who need the help the most don't truly know how to go about bettering themselves because they are kept oppressed.

Newsflash: NEITHER party is "for" anyone at - all, except Big Business and its - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
under-the-table payouts. That's all EITHER party wants. They just keep us all fighting each other about the "pros" or "cons" of being Republican or Democrat to distract U.S. voters from doing anything about that fact. Even though some realize what's going on, everyone is too busy infighting between "right" and "left" to have the time nor the energy to investigate and prosecute the companies that are gaining close to 100% control of this country. We're already way too close to becoming a nation of worker bees that are enslaved by giant blood-and-money-sucking corporations, where the only meaning of our existence is to make more money for them.

What's your suggestion to turn things around? - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
I wish I knew what the answers were, but I don't.

1)-Abolish the party system. - 2)- Require candidates to have - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
at least SOME semblance of intellect.

3)- Make income taxes fair, and based on INCOME, not on how much you bribe your local government officials.

4)- Either BAN offshoring, or tax it so heavily that it loses its appeal.

5)- Base government official pay on PERFORMANCE, not raises that they vote for themselves.

6)- We should stop trying to "fix" other countries' problems until we have at least TRIED to fix our own. Sweeping them under the rug does not count.

Are there any candidates out there like this description? - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
It is such a common sense approach. Everyone seems to have lost common sense these days. I haven't heard anyone talk about your points per se, but they sound more libertarian to me, again another party. The current politicians are probably too afraid to make any radical changes for fear of losing their cushy jobs, but I sure wish they would listen to you!! Great post!!
