America the Racist?, a 172 page ebook by author H. J. Harris, was a hot item at the London and South African Book Fairs. Intense interest at the International Titles booth showed that the issue of racism in America has world-wide appeal.
Europeans, the United Kingdom, and the international community as a whole have been paying close attention as the political battle between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton exposed a the deep racial divide that exists in America.
According to John Hughes of New Paradigm Publishing, interest in America the Racist? Is building as people outside of America anticipate the 2008 presidential election between Barack Obama and John McCain. The primary question for world-citizens is whether McCain will use the race issue as Mrs. Clinton did in her pursuit of the nomination.
Harris’ book sets forth a concise, easy to read, historical, spiritual, and psychological treatment of Racism in America - its causes, evolution, and possibilities for the future.
America the Racist? is extremely important as this presidential campaign evolves. Anticipating great interest, Amazon has added America the Racist? as an electronic Kindle book.
Mr. Harris’ book helps readers understand subtle forms of racism like the “Bradley Factor”. When Tom Bradley ran for Governor of California in 1982, the polls were showing a comfortable lead for certain victory. When the votes were counted, Bradley lost.
The Bradley Factor occurs when white voters say one thing to political pollsters about voting for a black American – professing a non-racist attitude. When certain of these white voters get into the secrecy of the voting booth, they vote the opposite – expressing a subtle, hidden racism.
To an extent, people outside America who are familiar with the work of Dr. Martin Luther King had a belief that racism was a thing of the past and that the civil rights movement had cured the racial ills and disparities in America.
The 2008 presidential campaign shows that in America, race matters. It is a crucial test of the conscience and moral fiber of America.
Obama sees victory based on America living up to its creed that “all men are created equal...” In the imagery of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Obama is presenting the great check to America and expecting it to clear - paid-in-full.
World citizens want to know if and why presidential candidate John McCain will rely on the “Bradley Factor” - claiming that he is the most electable candidate as a coded way of saying that, in the final analysis, white Americans will not vote for a black American man to lead the country.
Mr. Harris’ book answers many important questions about Racism in America:
1. How the Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution were impacted by signers who owned slaves and endorsed slavery.
2. Why the issue of slavery was so important that over six-hundred thousand (600,000) Americans died in the Civil War.
3. How American Christians undermined school desegregation and perpetuated segregation and separation. 11:00 am on Sunday morning is still the most segregated hour in America.
4. What the Bible has to say about the spiritual impact of slavery on the future existence of America.
5. How sex and economics have been at the core of American Racism, discrimination, and injustice.
6. How the white slave master captured, broke the spirit, and institutionalized the vicious, vulgar process employed in the Making of a Slave.
7. How the Hundredth Monkey Phenomenon applies to slavery and the condition and behavior of black Americans.
8. Why the power of television is the single most important tool in showing the truth of America racisim to the world.
9. Does America have the Moral Authority to promote liberty and freedom to other countries when racism undermines the liberty and freedom of black Americans?
10. Why the Barack Obama presidential campaign can be the catalyst in healing America of the cancer of racism.
