Progressive Racism is about the transformation of the civil rights movement from a cause opposing racism—the denigration of individuals on the basis of their skin color - into a movement endorsing race preferences and privileges for select groups based on their skin color. It describes the tragic changes of this cause under the leadership of racial extortionists like Al Sharpton; who took a movement in support of American pluralism and turned it into a movement governed by a lynch mob mentality in which white Americans are regarded as guilty before the fact and African Americans are regarded as innocent even when the facts prove them guilty; even when their crimes are committed against other African Americans.The author of Progressive Racism; David Horowitz; is a witness to these events and betrayals. Horowitz was a participant in the civil rights movement of the 1960s; and in 2001 led a national campaign against a proposal for “slavery reparations†that would have required Hispanic; Asian and other Americans who had no role in slavery to pay reparations to African Americans who were never slaves. Progressive Racism examines how the term “racism†has been drained of its original meaning and is now used as a weapon to bludgeon opponents into silence. It describes how the so-called civil rights movement has become an oppressor of African Americans by supporting a failed school system that blights the lives of millions of African American children and a welfare system that has destroyed the black family and created a “underclass†dependent on government charity. It is an indictment of the hypocrisy that today governs discourse on race issues; so that a lynch mob in Ferguson; Missouri seeking to hang a police officer because he was white can be described as a civil rights protest and be supported by the first African American president of the United States.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A local Chinese-American ReviewBy Walter W. KoThis book honors the struggle of St Louis Chinese in the past 150 years for the hardship; struggle; discrimination and harassment; whether in the laundry or restaurant busines. However; the past 25 years; the old Hop Alley Chinatown image being long gone; there arises a group of Chinese-Americans in the main stream as lawyers; doctors; professors; engineers; architects; accountants; bankers; entrepreneurs; insurance agents; real estate agents; librarians and TV reporters in the cultural Chinatown. There were two Community Service Commissioners appointed by Governor Holden since 2001. Prof. Ling did a fine job in bringing forth this wonderful book even with a section on cemetry Chinatown of Vahalla. She shows Chinese-Americans contributing in society culturally; politically; economically and religiously; make St Louis our home.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Interesting read with much historical and depth interviewsBy greg369For those interested in the immigration of Chinese to America should definitely take a look at this book. It gives much information on situations that many Chinese immigrants faced. The depth interviews give an interesting perspective about immigrating to a new country. It is good to be able to know about the Chinese immigration experience from those that went through it. I liked the focus of the book just on the Chinese of St. Louis. You learn a lot more intimate details when targeting a specific group in a specific area rather than a Chinese immigrants in general.The book even mentions the development of certain areas of downtown including the building of Busch Stadium.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A Very In Depth Book With A Lot of InsightBy Cassi192The author; Huping Ling; did a really good job with her research and her analysis of the growth of the Chinese Cultural Community in St. Louis. The book is very well written and sheds a lot of insight in the evolving role of Chinese Americans in the U.S.; both from a social and political standpoint. For anyone seeking more knowledge or is curious about how Chinese Americans have adapted their culture and way of life in America; I would recommend this book
