Race Course Against White Supremacy

Race Course Against White Supremacy (Paperback)

by William C. Ayers (Author), Bernardine Dohrn (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description
White supremacy and its troubling endurance in American life is debated in these personal essays by two veteran political activists. Arguing that white supremacy has been the dominant political system in the United States since its earliest days—and that it is still very much with us—the discussion points to unexamined bigotry in the criminal justice system, election processes, war policy, and education. The book draws upon the authors' own confrontations with authorities during the Vietnam era, reasserts their belief that racism and war are interwoven issues, and offers personal stories about their lives today as parents, teachers, and reformers.

About the Author
William C. Ayers is a distinguished professor of education and a senior university scholar at the University of  Illinois–Chicago. He is the author of To Teach: The Journey of a Teacher and Fugitive Days, a memoir about his life with his wife, Bernardine Dohrn. Bernardine Dohrn is the director of the Children and Family Law Justice Center and a clinical associate professor of law at Northwestern University. She is the coauthor of  A Century of Juvenile Justice and Justice in the Making. They live in Chicago.

When was this book released? I think this is terrible news for Obama. Now more Americans have a chance to learn who Ayers really is.

The thrust of a Comrade Zero presidency will be fighting against “White Privilege.”

Take it to mean you aren’t sufficiently shamed enough to be born white in a majority white country with a history of slavery.

By virtue of being white, you are guilty. No matter what.

McCain should bring one to the next debate, hold it up, and ask Obama, “Do you believe this crap?”

Hands down the worst title I have ever seen for a book.
Sounds like something you’d find in the listings of a vanity press like “Vantage Press”.
Title makes it sound like a Thoroughbred Track in South Africa in the wake of Apartheid.

This book comes out in 2009, as does Mark Rudd's, another one of the Weathermen. (who btw uses Hussein's publishing agent)

Bill Ayers “gets it.” Here’s what he understands:

One strategy to undermine culture is to discredit its values and history. Of course, reducing American history to a simplistic notion of “white supremacy” is absurd, but that’s the point. The point is to slowly undermine the confidence of people about the values and history of their own culture so they’ll be less willing to defend and protect it. Along the way, you’ve also created a structure of “them” (so-called “white” people, meaning, in this context, people from western and northern Europe) and “us” (everyone else). This creates internal conflict based on simple, easy to understand qualities like skin color.

There is poltical theory to back this up. Look up “the Frankfurt School” and “Antonio Gramscii” and see the roots of Ayers thesis.

Eventually, the culture becomes so disillusioned and split apart that an organized cadre of leaders can take control and establish a new kind of society - like the Bolsheviks did in 1917, or the National Socialists in 1933, or the followers of Mao in 1949. May a thousand flowers bloom.

SOP for the ACORN crowd. Look what they did for New Orleans (one of the organization's home cities) over the past 20 years or so, if you need a vivid example.

Flowers. I recall a poem about flowers. Something to do with poppies.

My daughter is about to interview at Northwestern Law School. I think I will have a little heart to heart talk with her. Hillary Clinton - Childrens advocate; Bernadine Dohrn - Children advocate: both lawyers from Ivy League law schools. Is that the gateway for women lawyers to the glass ceiling?
