\doc\web\97\04\blakcons.txt Black and Right: The Bold New Voice of Black Conservatives in America (Praeger Publishers, edited by Stan Faryna, Brad Stetson, and Joseph G. Conti) presents the opinions of both prominent national figures and little-known, black conservative community activists. From: Stan Faryna To: icrn@world.std.com Subject: black conservatives Is America a hopelessly racist nation? Do most white people want to see blacks fail? Is it impossible for black people to be racists? The angry rhetoric of mainstream black leadership in America today suggests that the answer to each of these questions is "YES!" Publishers Weekly calls unusual new book a "counterpoint to the liberal and Afro-centric voices that too often subject black conservatives to ad hominem attacks." But black conservatives, an often-neglected voice in media presentations of race in America, are fighting back and speaking for themselves and by themselves. They are declaring that the American dream for blacks is alive and well, that most non-blacks are not racists, that the evil of racism comes in all colors, and that racism is no excuse for unacceptable behavior. Black and Right: The Bold New Voice of Black Conservatives in America (Praeger Publishers, edited by Stan Faryna, Brad Stetson, and Joseph G. Conti) presents the opinions of both prominent national figures and little-known, black conservative community activists. These courageous Americans are speaking out, undaunted by the ruthless epithets of "Uncle Tom!" "Race-traitor!" and "Sell out!" that are constantly hurled at them by black politicians, craven media mavens and professional "civil rights" leaders. Economist and syndicated columnist Dr. Walter Williams says of Black and Right, "If one deliberately set out to sabotage black socio-economic progress, he could not have found a more effective means than many of the government policies started in the sixties and seventies. Black and Right is a long overdue antidote to the harmful conventional wisdom that formed the justification for those policies." ------- To subscribe to c-news, send the message SUBSCRIBE C-NEWS, or the message UNSUBSCRIBE C-NEWS to unsubscribe, to majordomo@world.std.com.
