This book relies on history, genetic studies, and the author's personal experiences to expose the politically inspired false concepts, lies and deceit that underlie the idea of race. He shows that the false idea of biological races maintains social distinctions that have been created to perpetuate a hierarchically structured, stratified society. Our society cannot become a full democracy as long as racial thinking is the norm. Yet, we regularly engage in racial thinking every time we talk about race and use racial terms like white and black without explicitly acknowledging their falseness. At the same time, we must fully recognize the harm that racial thinking has caused and create appropriate remedies. This book proposes how we should proceed. This second edition adds additional material including an Epilogue that addresses the alarmingly increased bigotry that has emerged since the presidential election of 2016.
