Summary: Marxists on the rise...........
Comment: Hating Whitey takes on the taboo subject - white racism. Author David Horowitz reveals the increasing attacks on whites in college academia. How bad is the hypocrisy in America's colleges? Klahid Muhammad - a vemonous bigot is allowed to give lectures in some of America's most elite universities. But, when Ward Connerly gives a lecture, the leftist students shout down Connerly as a "Uncle Tom" and attempt to run him out of town. Why? because he feels affirmative action is morally wrong. This is why the double standard exists today. David Horowitz blames all this on the former 60s radicals who are now high ranking professors at elite colleges.
In the PC era, its easy to blame whites for all of the social ills. The college elite often use this to promote their Marxist beliefs on naive students. This book is very thought provoking.

Summary: Wow.
Comment: A constant theme that is permeated throughout Horowitz's book is this idea of a double standard in the U.S. among races (more specifically black and white).
This books repeatedly sets a point about a fallacious double standard that Left Americans build up to benefit African-Americans. Horowitz rebukes this idea with a plethora of evidence that is so repitious that he almost clouds your memory to aid you into believing all he says (which is not necessiarily a bad thing with the issues he brings up in his essays.)
One interesting point is the idea of what a hate crime is. There always seems to be mass-media representation that a hate crime is only when a white man attacks a black man, but not vice versa.
Also, there is always more media attention when a black man is brutally attacked than when a white man is brutally attacked.
Horowitz eschews all liberal views to make strong valid points. He continually mentions how the Liberals undermine all of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s civil rights tactics.
These are only a few of the many points he presents in his book.
This book was informative and extremely interesting. It was an enjoyable and easy read. I don't consider myself very conservative, but Horowitz makes some points that may convince me in some points of views.

Summary: A collection of interesting essays...
Comment: Hating Whitey: And Other Progressive Causes by David Horowitz is a book that will either make you smile or angry beyond belief, such is the nature of the topic and the polemical tone that resonates througout the book. Most of the essays critique how the radical left has handled racial politics from the 60's up until the time of the books publication (late 90's). The essays themselves are well-written and (although the tone is still polemical) cogently argued responses to the usually overly-emotional arguments leveled against conservative racial politics.
Horowitz himself brings a unique perspective to these essays since he used to espouse radical Marxist views and converted to the Conservative camp in the 80's. His insider expose of 60's radicals is a needed antidote to a subject that is almost always hagiographically handled in media.
While the material is dated (it comes from around the time of the Clinton impeachment hearings), it still provides several great salvos against the racial preferences and shows how it is simply an unacceptable policy in a pluralistic society like the United States.
