Title: Too anti-white male for me
Review: The only reason I'm reading this book is for an AP U.S. class. The book constantly bombards you with mistreatment of Blacks and other minorities as well as women. It seems every chapter especially post civil war onward they devote a page or two discussing the oppresiveness of white men.Another thing I noticed is that in certain chapters of the book, Blacks are referred to as "african-americans" whereas Whites are dubbed as "white people" somehow implying, quite scornfully actually, that only African-Americans are Americans and White-Americans are just "white people." You may think this is subtle but really this is an overview of the book's anti-white bias which is consistent throughout.If you're on the liberal side you'll like this book but if you're a moderate or conservative who doesn't want to be constantly bombarded with how evil Whites are, I suggest getting A Patriot's History of the United States which is what I did to counter the reading of this book.
Is the review positive or negative?
