Bamboozled

John Hawkins over at Right Wing News has posted a listing of his favorite quotes from Angela McGlowan's new book, Bamboozled. He also did an interview with McGlowan. I haven't personally read the book but the selected quotations seem to be right on the money and I encourage you to review them all or buy the book. An online friend, Ari Kaufman, has read the book and this is his review:

Though it somehow does not have the amount of readers/reviews as many mainstream books, Bamboozled is very well-written, thoroughly-documented and accurate. Therefore, do NOT look for it to be promoted by the state-run media or your local indoctrination university. The left does not like it when a black person, especially an erudite, well-read woman like Angela McGlowan strays from their modern plantation and comes to her own strong conclusions.
 
Sectionally, the book is also divided up nicely. There are tons of rare but important facts, quotes and examples you seldom hear, to describe how, thanks to the media, liberal politicians, blatantly deceitful "educators," omissions from wikipedia and so on, so-called "minorities" like blacks and Latinos remain ignorant of their history. For the past four and a half decades, they tragically vote for a party 100% hostile to them and their faith/values, while hating the party that has given them EVERYTHING from their freedom and safety in the 19th century to integration, civil rights and personal reliance/responsibility in the 20th and beyond.
 
There's a reason Booker T. Washington, Frederick Douglass, Sojourner Truth, Martin Luther King, the founders of the NAACP and so many more historically essential blacks were staunch Republicans. They valued freedom, morals/faith and self-reliance over victimology, race-baiting and, in their time, segregation and lynchings.
 
It's sad but typical. As a Jewish person, I feel the same about ignorant, selfish, myopic "Jews" still voting for the failure that is the Socialist/Statist Democrat party who, on the whole, is anti-Semitic, anti-Israel and fiscally irresponsible.
 
Like many, when I was young, uneducated and naive, I too was a Democrat. Then I left college, started working, got married, read on my own, stopped going to movies and watching Stewart, Letterman or CNN, and woke up.
 
As usual, the one star reviewers did not read the book. And those who may have perused do not accept an intelligent black female author leaving the "plantation" these racist, modern slaveholding Democrats created, so they instead bashed Angela, Fox News and so on--- ending with "trust the 90% that vote Democrat." McGlowan counters that bogus claim well, so they'll have to read.
 
As McGlowan explains early in chapter five, aside from being ignorant of history (just like liberal whites), blacks fear being ostracized for voting Republican, even though it makes the most sense to do so, rather than voting alongside the secularist haters in Hollywood who run the Democrats, stoke racial fears to get votes, and neither care about "minorities, " nor act as they do, other than for votes every two or four years.
 
That the Democrats have thrived despite their murderous and heinous history, especially toward black people -- from Jackson, Buchanan, Douglas, Johnson, Bedford Forrest, Bull Connor and Preston Brooks to Wilson, FDR, JFK, LBJ, Dean, Kennedy, Byrd, Bond, Waters, Pelosi, Reid, Jackson, Sharpton, Farrakhan, the Clintons, Gore and Obama -- is transparent and truly reprehensible. The GOP should not allow this. Democrat history into today has been unquestionably catastrophic to black success and racial progress. And they benefit from our ignorance.
 
A mind truly is a terrible thing to waste. Time to properly educate --- with real history, no revisionist, multi-culti balderdash that today's teachers foist, which keeps children dumb and downtrodden, but makes them "feel good"  -- the next generation, because the current and prior ones are lost.
 
And lastly, it needs mentioning that "compassion" was in fact often an area of weakness for Pres. Bush. McGlowan notes this because she's fair. But isn't this also one area where the left-wing bigots should give him "credit"? They do not.
 
Instead they call names and give him labels at their conventions; just as they ignore Clinton doing NOTHING for Africa (or Latinos, other than talk but never back anything up, ala John Kerry) while Bush's AIDS initiatives saved nearly five million African lives. Hypocrisy.
 
George Bush is the least racist President in mind and soul there has ever been and this is shown in his appointments over and over of "people of color." As Ben Stein once added, "To say otherwise is scandalously untrue." 
 
Wake up, everyone . . . thanks Angela!

I'm going to certainly buy the book and I'm hoping I'll diligently find the time to actually read it. Thanks, Ari, for giving me a very good prompt along with an interesting review.

Ree, I have nieces visiting from Carolina and I haven't been able to sit down and do much, online or otherwise. Including view the Michael Jackson memorial service yet. In a week or so, things should calm down.

Politically, however, things appear to be progressing as I had presumed they would. Or so it seems.

J.B. This health "insurance" Bill is not going over well.

They just are not listening in Washington they don't have their ear to the ground. The Natives are restless and they can't hear the drumbeats.
