Is Racial Equality Unconstitutional?

By: Mark Golub

Narrated by: Bob Souer

More than just a legal doctrine, color-blind constitutionalism has emerged as the defining metaphor of the post-Civil Rights era. Even for those challenging its constitutional authority, the language of color-blindness sets the terms of debate. Critics of color-blind constitutionalism are in this sense captured by the object of their critique. And yet, paradoxically, to enact a color-blind rule actually requires a heightened awareness of race. As such, color-blind constitutionalism represents a particular form of racial consciousness rather than an alternative to it.

Challenging familiar understandings of race, rights, and American law, Is Racial Equality Unconstitutional? explores how current equal-protection law renders the pursuit of racial equality constitutionally suspect. Identifying hierarchy rather than equality as an enduring constitutional norm, the audiobook demonstrates how the pursuit of racial equality, historically, has been viewed as a violation of white rights. Arguing against conservative and liberal redemption narratives, both of which imagine racial equality as the perfection of American democracy, Is Racial Equality Unconstitutional? calls instead for a break from the current constitutional order, that it may be refounded upon principles of racial democracy.

Absolute nonsense.

A juvenile and moronic view on the American legal system and its history. An obvious attempt to rewrite history and normalize marxism using the cleverly named "anti-racist" movements talking points throughout the book. Those who push this movement are bent on destroying America and turning all young Americans into America hating citizens blinded by emotional arguments.
This book is a wolf in sheeps clothing.

Saul Alinsky would love this book...
