The police are waging a war on Black people. \"White privilege\" means minorities never get a fair shake. Although this narrative of oppression is demonstrably fictitious, it is taboo to question it, and those who do so risk being labeled racist or sexist themselves. America needs an honest conversation based on common sense and cold, hard facts. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHonesty and respect for the facts are the specialty of Wilfred Reilly, the celebrated author of \u003ci\u003eHate Crime Hoax\u003c\/i\u003e. In \u003ci\u003eTaboo\u003c\/i\u003e, he fearlessly examines ten forbidden truths that have been buried by political correctness. They include: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e-The Black rate of violent crime is roughly \u003ci\u003e2.5 times\u003c\/i\u003e the white rate. When demographic variables are taken into account, there are no racial differences in the rate of police-involved shootings.\u003cbr\u003e -Interracial crime is remarkably rare, but 75 to 80 percent of it occurs \u003ci\u003eagainst \u003c\/i\u003ewhite people.\u003cbr\u003e -Minorities can be racist--take the Nation of Islam, which holds that white people are an inferior race created by a Black scientist.\u003cbr\u003e -Disparities between racial groups in IQ testing and SAT performance are the result of cultural variables, such as the presence of a father in the home, \u003ci\u003enot \u003c\/i\u003eracism. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eReilly goes where most social scientists fear to tread, using objective statistics and common sense to tackle taboo topics. \u003ci\u003eTaboo\u003c\/i\u003e is an essential takedown of the lies you hear every day from ideological activists and lazy, biased media.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWILFRED REILLY\u003c\/b\u003e, associate professor at Kentucky State University, is the author of \u003ci\u003eHate Crime Hoax \u003c\/i\u003eand\u003ci\u003e The $50,000,000 Question\u003c\/i\u003e.
