PROLOGUE
Race in America is not written to disparage or diminish people of color—Black, Asian, Latino, or anyone else who calls the United States home. Instead, this book confronts the harsh realities of race as America’s most persistent, volatile, and dangerous domestic issue. We do not shy away from exposing the most troubling aspects of racial diversity—of which, undeniably, there are many.
Race is the most defining characteristic of humanity. One’s color precedes everything else. There is not now, nor has there ever been, nor will there ever be, a truly colorblind society. In the United States, race remains a stark black-and-white issue, and America faces a very serious problem.
Today, race has been thrust to the forefront almost entirely through the grievances and actions of urban Black communities, who express their anger by painting slogans in our streets, rioting, looting, burning, assaulting, and even murdering innocent civilians and police officers. Reasonable Americans are compelled to ask: Why? What fuels this rage? What motivates these individuals to behave with such brutality toward people who have done them no harm?
We attempt to answer these questions from the perspective of white Americans, because it is impossible to fully penetrate the minds of the violent criminals, agitators, and professional rioters who drive this chaos. Their motivations appear to be rooted in a toxic mix of hatred, ignorance, resentment, and profound self-loathing.
While we recognize the influence of coordinated funding—such as from the Soros network and other ideological actors—and the enabling role of far-left politicians, the personal motives of the rioters themselves remain grounded in a dark and incomprehensible hostility toward America. We therefore identify these groups as existential enemies and question whether coexistence is possible at all. As stark as this conclusion may be, we believe it reflects reality.
America stands at a crossroads: a stable civil society, or a descent into a dystopian, lawless future. In this book, we define our terms, examine the enemy, and discuss the conflict openly and without censorship. We also propose potential remedies and strategies—some immediate, others long-term.
Brace yourself. What follows is direct, unfiltered, and confrontational. But it is necessary.
