| Publisher Description: Category: NonFiction/Political Science/Social Sciences/Race Relations Book Description This work looks at the role black conservatives play in American politics and the perspectives they share on a number of issues relevant to Black America. Subjects covered include racism, affirmative action, relations between blacks and the Republican party, the criminal justice system, poverty, welfare, self-reliance, academic performance, and what have been collectively identified as pathologies of the inner cities, ethnic enclaves inhabited mostly by blacks. The book is also a critique of "The Bell Curve" and of the views of some black conservatives who have endorsed this highly inflammatory work. It is also an examination of other studies on black/white IQ differences and provides a new perspective on the nature of intelligence and the relevance, or irrelevance, of intelligence tests. The author is blunt in his assessment and covers the entire range of the ideological spectrum in a fast-paced narrative and analysis that is bound to inflame passions and fuel debate on some of the most contentious issues of our time.
