From AudioFile
Talk-radio host and author Larry Elder assumes the role of narrator for his latest book, which tackles the idea being perpetuated by the media that African-Americans are being held down by ³the man.² Elder offers a compelling case for his reasoning, naming celebrities and politicians alike who are hurting themselves and their race by what they choose to say on television. Elder is solid and entertaining, not just because he tackles his topic in a hard-hitting manner, but also because he makes listeners truly understand his position on race relations. Whether one agrees or not, Elder puts himself on the table to further the debate over race and, in doing so, captures our attention with his firm tone.

Product Description
Is life unfair for black Americans?
Is racial equality the answer to every question of public policy?
Are a huge group of citizens being kept down by “the man”?
Radio host and bestselling author Larry Elder has made a career out of being a thorn-in-the-side of the conventional wisdom crowd. He deflates the pompous and points out the completely logical truths hidden behind the nutty rhetoric and out-of-control pandering of many of the politicians and so-called leaders of a variety of special interest groups. In Stupid Black Men, he takes on the mind-set that always captures the most media attention—as well as masses of public money—in this country: those who rail against racism as the root of all problems, and who end up hurting precisely those they claim to be helping.
Whether they are demagogues like Al Sharpton, established politicians like Hillary Clinton, or entertainers like Danny Glover, no one escapes Elder’s cogent arguments and rapier wit. His sometimes hilarious and always infuriating examples of wrong-headedness skewer not just politicians for their smugness and hypocrisy, but also actors, educators, religious leaders and the “mainscream media” for keeping the story in the headlines.
But Elder has a positive message, too: though they are fewer—and generally not as loud-mouthed—there are leaders and role models today who want to sweep away race-based whining and urge everyone in America, to share in the hard work, smart thinking and optimism that make this country great.
Reader Reviews
Those who say there is no room for this perspective on race are unwittingly propogating the failures of recent history to "prop up" the black man who "needs your help". For how many more decades can we say that America has not given everyone a fair shake? This country was built on the "can-do" attitude of the literate and illiterate. If American minorities continually accept others' "help" and constant labeling as "in- need" and "unskilled", they embrace the same negative lables that conote "lazy" and "second-class". A first-class human helps themselves as much as they can, and even rejects kind-hearted help out of a sense of pride. Where is the pride in taking another persons' job just because you were born with different skin colors? Where is the pride of getting into college not because of performance, but because of DNA? Racial profiling is legal and considered just in this country. If you won't question these facts, how can you call yourself a free thinker?
