Notes

Description
"Part memoir and part meditation on the failed efforts to achieve racial equality in America, [this book] advances [the author's] provocative argument that "new liberalism" has done more harm than good. Since the 1960s, overt racism against blacks is almost universally condemned, so much so that racism is no longer, by itself, a prohibitive barrier to black advancement. But African Americans remain at a disadvantage in American society, and [the author] lays the blame at the feet of white liberals. According to [the author], liberals have refused to acknowledge the country's progress over the past 50 years, in part because their notions of white guilt and black victimization help preserve their position of power over blacks"--,Provided by publisher.
