You can’t fight racism with racism. After reading this book, I will understand what is happening behind-the-scenes as the media and critical race theorists try to tear our nation apart. I will be able to stand up for conservative policies that will promote racial healing and unity for America. The mainstream media, critical race theorists, and the Black Lives Matter movement are working to divide Americans, not unite us. In this provocative book, Pastor Mark Burns, an outspoken conservative and longtime Trump surrogate, exposes: •How the mainstream media is helping create racial division •The money-hungry Marxists behind the Black Lives Matter movement •The dangers of critical race theory •Why Trump’s policies are good for all Americans, including Black Americans •How he stopped playing the race card •Why the church must speak out against a racially divisive narrative Burns argues that the way to heal a racially divided nation and save America is not with the racist, status quo policies of Joe Biden and the Democrats, but with the conservative strategies that Trump has proven work—policies that promote Martin Luther King Jr.’s vision for an America where people are not judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. The colors that matter most are not black and white but red, white, and blue.

A New York Times Notable Book of the Year What do hurricane Katrina victims, millionaire rappers buying vintage champagne, and Ivy League professors waiting for taxis have in common? All have claimed to be victims of racism. But these days almost no one openly defends bigoted motives, so either a lot of people are lying about their true beliefs, or a lot of people are jumping to unwarranted conclusions--or just playing the race card. Daring, entertaining, and incisive, The Race Card brings sophisticated legal analysis, eye-popping anecdotes, and plain old common sense to this heated topic.

Alan I. Abramowitz has emerged as a leading spokesman for the view that our current political divide is not confined to a small group of elites and activists but a key feature of the American social and cultural landscape. The polarization of the political and media elites, he argues, arose and persists because it accurately reflects the state of American society. Here, he goes further: the polarization is unique in modern U.S. history. Today’s party divide reflects an unprecedented alignment of many different divides: racial and ethnic, religious, ideological, and geographic. Abramowitz shows how the partisan alignment arose out of the breakup of the old New Deal coalition; introduces the most important difference between our current era and past eras, the rise of “negative partisanship”; explains how this phenomenon paved the way for the Trump presidency; and examines why our polarization could even grow deeper. This statistically based analysis shows that racial anxiety is by far a better predictor of support for Donald Trump than any other factor, including economic discontent.

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Yes We (Still) Can and cohost of Pod Save America, a sharp political playbook for how Democrats can take on the right-wing circus dominating American politics. ​ There is nothing more important than beating Donald Trump in 2020, but defeating Trump is just the start of this timely book. Un-Trumping America offers readers three critical insights: first, Trump is not an aberration, but rather the logical extension of the modern Republican Party; second, how Democrats can defeat Trump in 2020; and third, preventing the likes of Trump from ever happening again with a plan to fix democracy. While the catalog of the president's crimes is long and growing, undoing Trumpism—the political platform of racism, authoritarianism, and plutocracy that gave rise to Trump and defines the Republican Party—is a long and continuing fight. Through a craven, cynical strategy engineered by Mitch McConnell, funded by the Kochs, and fueled by Fox News propaganda, Republicans have rigged American politics to drown out the voices of the people in favor of the powerful. Without an aggressive response that recognizes who the Republicans are and what they have done, American democracy as we know it won't survive this moment and a conservative, shrinking, mostly white minority will govern the country for decades. Un-TrumpingAmerica dismantles toxic Trumpism and offers a way forward. Dan Pfeiffer worked for nearly twenty years at the center of Democratic politics, from the campaign trail to Capitol Hill to Barack Obama's White House. But it was Trump's victory and Republicans' incessant aiding and abetting of Trumpism that has radicalized his thinking. Here, Pfeiffer urges Democrats to embrace bold solutions—from fixing the courts to abolishing the electoral college to eliminating the filibuster—in order to make America more democratic (and Democratic). Un-Trumping America is a powerful call for Democrats and progressives to get smarter, tougher, and more aggressive without becoming a paler shade of orange.

Donald J. Trump, entrepreneur extraordinaire, ultra businessman, and real estate tycoon-turned President of the United States, was always revered by the African American community and the Hip-Hop industry as an economical and cultural icon. Only until recently, when campaigning for the presidency in 2016, the iconic mogul and once-adored portrait of the American dream has been labeled a "racist." Most Trump critics attempt to "prove" that he is a racist by using mythical examples from the twisted words of the propaganda machines. The author dispels the widespread opinion and slander, which is accepted as fact and uncovers its origins. She also analyzes the racist claim from an antebellum and recent historical, political, social, economic, logical, and just plain-old common-sense view. The author, Mykel Barthelemy, is a Black American woman.This literary masterpiece is a fantastic analogy of historical, political, and cultural twists and turns, that perfectly defines the essence of racism in America and how President Donald J. Trump is not a participant of it, but rather a victim of its culprits. The author brilliantly uncovers the foundation of American racism as well as the organizers of it. Mykel Barthelemy presents the elucidation derived from both pre and post-antebellum periods and exposes the political machine that created racism. The book opens like a suspense thriller from an unexpected angle identifying pre-World War II Nazi propaganda techniques used by Hitler to achieve mass mind control. Barthelemy exposes the collusion between the Left-wing media giants and the Democrat Party. She shares her personal experiences as a Black woman growing up in Post-Jim Crow Gulf Coast Louisiana and exemplifies historically how racism was forced on both Whites and Blacks by the Democrat party via the Slave codes and the Black Codes, also known as Jim Crow Laws. The author shares how racism was "the law," and there was no escape from it regardless of skin color -- and how racism was moral and political correctness at that time. She demonstrates how the moral determination of most Americans within the last fifty years has been shaped by the spirit of political correctness. The book also details the true nature of racism and highlights semantics used by the Left to promote national division. In conjunction with the powerful Left-wing propaganda machine, overt and covert racism create a deadly combination. Public paranoia is ignited by media personalities, commentators, news anchors, entertainers, sports figures, and networks through technology, intentionally forcing and controlling political narratives. Barthelemy explains how propaganda and semantics redefine words, and therefore, redefine thought. In effect, this deliberate manipulation of the moral orientation of our national consciousness also re-writes history. The expose' reveals how these perpetrators use the same methods to gaslight and brainwash the masses into a psychological frenzy of hate and mobilize them as an echo chamber to resonate their message. The author demonstrates how this CIA "Operation Mockingbird"-styled propaganda technique used to demonize individuals, groups of people, and in particular, vilifying the President of the United States of America, which is tantamount to overturning the 2016 election through a propagandized coup. The author dispels the racist label placed on President Donald J. Trump by proof of his contributions to the Black community through strengthening African American art, historically black colleges and universities, lowering the unemployment rate, and his other philanthropic endeavors. Barthelemy calls POTUS's contributions to the R&B and Hip-Hop music industry, friendships, litigations, philosophies, as well as his Presidential actions, policies, and executive orders to supply the simple truth that Donald Trump is not a racist.

The Presidency of Barack Obama was characterized by radical policy shifts—the implementation of Obamacare (the first steps toward socialized medicine); unprecedented expansion of the big government regulatory state; the prioritization of pie-in-the-sky environmental concerns over jobs and economic growth; a foreign policy based on secret dealings, appeasement, and “leading from behind”; and a concerted effort to institutionalize political correctness in colleges, high schools, and even elementary schools across the nation. But within the blink of an eye, nearly the entire Obama legacy has been undone before the end of Donald Trump’s first term in office. This remarkable book details the scope of the Trump upheaval, exploring the destructive path Obama set the nation toward, how Trump has begun to right the ship…and how much more still needs to be done. Many of the Americans who voted for Donald Trump did so simply to oppose the Clinton machine and to block a continuation of the Obama era. They had little hope or expectation that Trump would make good on his promises to undo the entire Obama agenda. This book not only details how Trump made good on those promises and saved America from Obama's legacy, but also makes the case for why Trump deserves reelection in 2020.

The most in-depth analysis to date of America's current political polarization and the forces that led to a Trump presidency
