Note this one - the only one listed related to American race issues:
"The New Jim Crow by Michelle Alexander
This is the title I immediately and robotically recite anytime someone is looking for a book recommendation. By far the most infuriating book Ive read, but vital for anyone thats looking to understand why the #BlackLivesMatter movement exists. Why Black people are angry. And why the black father is absent in most Black homes (done so intentionally via the system of White Supremacy). Its an unrelenting and exhaustively researched book into our system of mass incarceration, which Alexander compares to the Jim Crow laws that justified and enforced segregation in the first half of the twentieth century. If after reading this book youre still unconvinced that there is systemic abuse and oppression toward Black people, I suggest you check yourself into the mental ward."

The author:
A longtime civil rights advocate and litigator, Michelle Alexander won a 2005 Soros Justice Fellowship and now holds a joint appointment at the Moritz College of Law and the Kirwan Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity at Ohio State University. Alexander served for several years as the director of the Racial Justice Project at the ACLU of Northern California, which spearheaded the national campaign against racial profiling. At the beginning of her career she served as a law clerk on the United States Supreme Court for Justice Harry Blackmun. She lives outside Columbus, Ohio.
Crime is race based to a very large degree. Incarceration is crime based. Ergo: Incarceration is race biased.
Anybody listen to her majesty’s disgusting talk to the NAACP? What a pandering piece of work. Playing the race card like the disgusting panderer and liar could only do.
Seems the New Deal was a Raw Deal
Michelle Alexander
Michelle Alexander (born October 7, 1967)[1] is an associate professor of law at Ohio State University, a civil rights advocate and writer. She is best known for her 2010 book The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness.
2. Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates
A current bestseller, youve probably seen Coates interview on The Daily Show (amazing). An absolutely necessary book about what its like to be black in America. Coates was inspired in part by the tragic death of one of his close friends at the hands of the police. When Toni Morrison says something is required reading, you dont question it. Read it!
And especially this one:

Not hardly.
#2 on his list:
Readers of his work in The Atlantic and elsewhere know Ta-Nehisi Coates for his thoughtful and influential writing on race in America. Written as a series of letters to his teenaged son, his new memoir, Between the World and Me, walks us through the course of his life, from the tough neighborhoods of Baltimore in his youth, to Howard Universitywhich Coates dubs The Mecca for its revelatory community of black students and teachersto the broader Meccas of New York and Paris. Coates describes his observations and the evolution of his thinking on race, from Malcolm X to his conclusion that race itself is a fabrication, elemental to the concept of American (white) exceptionalism. Ferguson, Trayvon Martin, and South Carolina are not bumps on the road of progress and harmony, but the results of a systemized, ubiquitous threat to black bodies in the form of slavery, police brutality, and mass incarceration. Coates is direct and, as usual, uncommonly insightful and original. There are no wasted words. This is a powerful and exceptional book.--Jon Foro
The late Lawrence Auster had cracked the code on this seven years ago, before Coates became the latest in a long line of sub-par journalists and outright fraudsters writing at elite East Coast magazines and newspapers;
Black political columnists of notably limited thinking abilities are a fixture at major mainstream newspapers such as the Washington Post, the New York Daily News, and the New York Times. The difference between these black columnists and their white colleagues is exactly the same as obtains between black and white students at top universities and graduate schools: there is no overlap between the two races. The blacks who are given sinecures as columnists are characterized by a level of intellectual ability for which any white would be automatically rejected for the same position.As evidence for my point, heres a black columnist I hadnt heard of before, Courtland Milloy of the Washington Post. The column below is not worth commenting on, in fact it defies analysis, but its worth reading for the sheer, well, stupidity of it.
And, by the way, if liberals are offended at my description of black columnists as being intellectually sub-par, the solution is very simple: stop hiring intellectually sub-par blacks as columnists. That may mean there will be fewer black columnists in the country, but thats not necessarily a bad thing. To paraphrase the saying about the difference between a wise man and a fool, wouldnt it be wiser for blacks of modest intellectual abilities to refrain from opinion writing and be thought unintelligent, than to write op-ed columns at major newspapers and remove all doubt?
And here is part of why and how it was instituted, thanks to LBJ:
These Negroes, theyre getting pretty uppity these days and thats a problem for us since theyve got something now they never had before, the political pull to back up their uppityness. Now weve got to do something about this, weve got to give them a little something, just enough to quiet them down, not enough to make a difference. For if we dont move at all, then their allies will line up against us and therell be no way of stopping them, well lose the filibuster and therell be no way of putting a brake on all sorts of wild legislation. Itll be Reconstruction all over again.
Ill have those niggers voting Democratic for the next 200 years as he confided with two like-minded governors on Air Force One regarding his underlying intentions for the Great Society programs.
Yet they still try to blame Republicans for their problems.
The Obama story all over again. A white candidate with his exact same resume would have never made it into the primaries. And every detail of his life prior to candidacy would have been fully examined and publicized. To this date there are still a lot of Democrat voters who don't know about his youth in Indonesia and his Muslim upbringing.
Agree with you-—but the truth is that a small group of psychopathic elites who were all white supremacists of the Margarat Sanger/KKK stripe, created the socialist “progressive” “movement’ to get control of the world and use Blacks and Muslim and any minority (Feminism/Homosexuals) for their divisive ends—to destroy the Natural Family and Christianity (Free Will/Individualism).
In doing that, like the good Marxists do for “collectives”—they group, separate and divide (our “education” system of mass indoctrination/Prussian style (artificial realities of one age factories to divide and isolate) so truth can be severely warped and controlled by the psychopathic elites and they can embed irrational emotions into our children (that of hate of others and “self” if white).
Nature (Natural Law/Logic/Reason removed from schools) takes its course when “raised” in inhumane artificial systems removed from the Natural Family/father/mother paradigm where no understanding of Nature/Truth can be embedded in young children (the irrational becomes the Norm). Total removal from Truth (God’s Design) into an easy state of irrationality (removed from Nature) so that they “fall” for all the Lies and misinformation repeated over and over in our “skools”. And evil ideologies, like in above books are glorified by the controlled “Best-Sellers” lists, etc., all controlled by the psychopathic elites.
This BLM has been orchestrated for 100 years, and is the culmination of brainwashing and destruction of the Natural Family which was intentional by the Leftists and”Great Society” (socialism put into our Constitution LOL) . It was by the evil “whites”—but these evil whites were hard-core Marxists, and want to destroy the US Constitution and are using Blacks to help do it.
BUT, now most Blacks are so ignorant because of the “System” they have joined the collective/marxist movement, funded by these psychopathic elites. That was the PLAN—Soros-funded Jackboots to create chaos/crisis.
Basically the Blacks, like above authors, have been brainwashed and become ideologues where no critical thinking ability is available. Facts and Truth can NOT be absorbed by ideologues (brainwashed masses). Blacks KNOW something is RIGGED and WRONG with the SYSTEM-—it is. BUT, they can’t pinpoint the TRUTH-—because of brainwashing and lies which are the basis of their Marxist hate-based, collective ideology where Individualism and Logic can’t exist.
We have to get back to taking the minds of our children OUT of the mass indoctrination centers, (Common Core) which dehumanizes everyone who doesn’t adopt the “collective, socialist” mindset (groups/division/Hate).
We have to return to Classical Christian Curricula (Unity/virtue) and allow truth (God) and Objective Truth back into the classrooms.
There is no separation of “Faith and Reason”-—all ideas promote a “faith” and the Marxist (satanist) one is the ONLY one allowed in schools, today, since the 1960s because of “(un) Just Laws” which has banned the ONLY faith which created Rule of Law, Free Will and Individualism (US Constitution). Natural Rights from God only is the TARGET of the Marxists: “To Kill God” so that our “rights” come from man (them and their corporations/banks) only (Rule of Oligarchy/Stalin/or whatever.
Right Reason and Natural Law is rejected for irrational Marxist “utopia”...LOL—a real hellhole of hate and totalitarianism. Soros is one of the funders of the takeover as were JP Morgan, etc. (all sick, evil white guys). The insanity produced by mass indoctrination is ridiculous now where men are women, boys are girls and Slavery (Socialism) is Freedom, and “feeling” rules over Intellect (Right Reason and Natural Law). 2000 years of Reason, Logic and Ethics are ERASED in our children via “education”...LOL Real funny/sarc.
I've saying for decades that schools were America's biggest problem, but the solution is to replace those in the teaching profession and do away with unions in our school systems. In addition access to public money by colleges and universities need to be eliminated as well. Then and only then will these institutions return to educating America's youth.
Did he read about how blacks commit half the crime in this country?
“Crime is race based to a very large degree. Incarceration is crime based. Ergo: Incarceration is race biased.”
I think that you’re using heavy sarcasm here, but, just in case...
Let’s first put the horse before the cart....
Incarceration is crime based.
Now for the facts.
(Crime is NOT race based, it is criminal based.)
“To a very large degree” is an absurd idea.
There is no “ergo.” There is no bias in the FACT that the prison population is “largely” made up of blacks.
Blacks commit more crimes “ergo” there are more blacks incarcerated.
