In this hard-hitting polemic, one of America's best-known political
commentators explains why racial tensions are now approaching
critical mass - and points to what we must do to defuse the
situation. Carl T. Rowan has spent his entire life fighting for
racial justice. The Coming Race War in America names and pinpoints
the issues that are tearing this country apart. Rowan blows the
whistle on America's "gatekeepers" - in academia, media, and
government - who fan the flames of racial hatred, whether
intentionally or accidentally. He tears into demagogues who promote
racial tensions, from Rush Limbaugh to Louis Farrakhan. And above
all, he lambastes politicians who blame welfare mothers,
immigrants, affirmative action, and the urban underclass for all of
America's social ills - and reinforce a "hate-the-poor" mind-set
that can only lead to disaster. Rowan explores the rising tensions
in every stratum of society, from upper-class white-males
protesting reverse discrimination to young black men desperate for
a piece of the pie. He takes a hard look at how and why two African
Americans - O. J. Simpson and Colin Powell - could inspire such
disparate and emotionally charged reactions, and sees an omen of
things to come. What's simmering now, he says, could soon boil
over. The signs of the coming race war are everywhere, says Rowan,
and there is no easy path to peace. But there is hope. By
recognizing the full dimensions of the problem, well-intentioned
Americans of all races can push for courses of action - from
increased community involvement to greater support for education -
that will help relieve tensions and build trust.
