About The Book

“White racism is worse today than it was in the 1960s,” says former NAACP leader Ben Chavis. “America still reeks of racism,” adds the NAACP’s Myrlie Evers-Williams. Professor John Hope Franklin calls white Americans “a bigoted people,” and Professor Cornel West laments that whites “resist accepting the full humanity of blacks.”

If you’re like many others, this statement doesn’t sit well with you. Yet many contemporary civil-rights leaders claim that it’s the tragic truth. How can you counter the inflammatory charge that we live in a racist nation, a country of victims and victimizers?

John Perazzo’s powerful and timely book, The Myths That Divide Us, gives you the answers. In it, you discover how black-white relations are sabotaged by demagogues who mischaracterize our country as racist. You see their false claims demolished by solid evidence. Drawing on mountains of important sociological research, Perazzo shows you that the most serious social and economic problems currently afflicting black Americans are not due to societal racism but to issues within the black community. Just consider a few of the hundreds of remarkable facts his book gives you:

– Black full-time workers earn slightly more than white workers of the same age, sex, and I.Q.

– College-educated, black working couples earn more than similar white couples in every age group and in every region of the United States.

– Studies show that fatherlessness, not race, is by far the most accurate predictor that a child will end up in poverty or in prison.

– Black defendants are slightly less likely to be prosecuted and convicted of felonies than white defendants charged with similar crimes.

– Though blacks commit more than half of our nation’s murders, nearly 60% of all Death Row inmates are white.

– 94% of all black homicide victims are slain by other blacks.

– Violent white criminals select black victims for just 3% of their crimes, while black criminals choose white victims for 54% of their crimes. All told, 89% of all interracial violence is black-on-white.

– Because of affirmative action, black applicants are much more likely than white applicants to be admitted to the college of their choice, even though whites score about 200 points higher on the Scholastic Aptitude Test.

– Affirmative action has heightened racial tensions while doing virtually nothing to improve the economic condition of black Americans.

– Though significant numbers of blacks surveyed perceive that white society strives to limit their opportunities and civil rights, polls show that racist white attitudes have diminished remarkably in recent decades. For example, 93% of eligible whites say they would be willing to vote for a black presidential candidate, and scarcely 1 in 100 whites favors racial discrimination against blacks in the workplace

Perazzo further shows that many of those who focused world attention on the evils of South African apartheid are silent about the far greater atrocities perpetrated by black governments on black victims throughout Africa. You learn that even under apartheid, more blacks actually moved into South Africa than left it — because the economic and social conditions in neighboring African nations were worse. And you discover that many denouncers of past centuries’ white-on-black enslavement remain silent about the black-on-black servitude which pervaded Africa during the very same epoch, and which still exists in several African nations today.

The Myths That Divide Us provides the knowledge you need in order to refute the false, divisive charge that ours is a racist nation.”The truth will set us free,” says Perazzo. “Our racial divisions are entirely remediable, but only if we have the courage to reject the widely accepted lie that all black troubles are due to white racism.”
