“And every historic effort to forge a democratic project has been undermined by two fundamental realities: poverty and paranoia.

In short, a candid examination of race matters takes us to the core of the crisis of American democracy (p. 107).” Has BeensTwoMatterFactsRealityForceSocialLevelsEffortRacePovertyDemocracyIssuesProduceConflictDespairProjectsCrisisFundamentalsDemocraticCorePersistenceTragicDivisionDistrustHistoricExaminationParanoiaAmerican LifeExplosivesCandidAmerican DemocracyEscalation Book:Race Matters: With a New Introduction Source: Race Matters: With a New Introduction
