    About this ebook

    Joseph Florida critiques the state of race relations in the United States of America and highlights where we’ve gone wrong and how we can get back on track in this book.

    Taking white nationalists and mindless individuals who blindly follow our current political establishment to task, the author explores how Donald J. Trump was elected president and how he’s divided the nation. He looks to history to answer questions such as:

    Why did most Southern whites during the Confederacy care about maintaining slavery if most were too poor to afford slaves?
    How did the face of Republicanism shift from a figure such as Teddy Roosevelt, who believed in empowering the common man, to men like Richard Nixon and Trump?
    How can so many blue-collar whites who claim to detest educated elites consume almost all of their media from Fox News reporters who are everything they claim to despise?

      “Are you a racist?” asks the young bearded man in the TV ad. “Do you hate Mexicans?” “The media calls us racists for wanting to build Trump’s wall,” he says, sounding to my politically attuned ears a lot like The Donald himself. “They censor us, but
