I Can’t Breathe

New!

“Horowitz blows the lid off Black Lives
Matter lies and exposes the damage the
movement has done to the black community.”
—LARRY ELDER, bestselling author and host of
The Larry Elder Show

“In his new book, I Can’t Breathe: How a Racial Hoax Is Killing America, Horowitz exposes the sickness at the heart of our national nightmare. This book is essential, don’t miss it.”
—MARK LEVIN, nationally syndicated TV and radio host and
author of Unfreedom of the Press.

The Truth about the Black Lives Matter Martyrs

In his latest salvo in the battle for America’s survival, David Horowitz exposes the racial hoax that is spawning riots and dividing the nation. Examining the twenty-six most notorious cases of police “racism”—from Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown to George Floyd and Breonna Taylor—Horowitz demonstrates that Black Lives Matter has lied about every one of them in its quest to break down law and order, fuel race hatred, and destroy America.

In case after case, the lies and mythmaking break down under Horowitz’s scrutiny. Even the chief prosecutor in the George Floyd case was forced to admit that he had no evidence of racial bias, while Breonna Taylor, the longtime accomplice of a major drug dealer, was killed when she and her boyfriend resisted arrest and fired a weapon at the police.

The unchallenged myths about racist murders by the police have brought mayhem and crime to our cities, where the victims are predominantly black. They are also a slander against the United States, the least racist country in history, and against black Americans, the vast majority of whom are successful and law-abiding citizens.

Now the Biden administration has embraced the false narrative of “systemic racism” and “white supremacy,” which supposedly infect every aspect of American life, using it to justify a witch hunt for “domestic terrorists.” Most Americans, black and white, know in their bones that this portrayal of their country is a lie. An unflinching and courageous accounting, I Can’t Breathe is the urgently needed proof that they are right.

Hating Whitey and Other Radical Pursuits

by David Horowitz

Overview

The anti-white racism of the Left remains one of the few taboo subjects in America. A former confidante of the Black Panthers and author of Radical Son, David Horowitz lays bare the liberal attack on “whiteness”—the latest battle in the war against American democracy. His passionate and candid account of contemporary racism reveals that the Cold War has come home.

Ideological hatred of whites is now a growth industry, boosted by “civil rights” activists and liberal academics. These once-youthful radicals, now entrenched in positions of power and influence, peddle a warmed-over version of the Marxist creed that supported the communist empire and excuses intolerance to the point of thuggery. Betraying the legacy of Martin Luther King, this alliance of black civil rights leaders and white radicals threatens to undermine America’s moral, political, and economic institutions.

Mr. Horowitz acknowledges that America’s unique political culture is the creation of white European males, primarily English and Christian.

Hating Whitey and Other Radical Pursuits

But these very men and their heirs have led the world in abolishing slavery and establishing the principles of ethnic and racial inclusion. Undeterred, so it seems, by America’s Anglo-Saxon pedigree, people of every race and creed still flock by the millions to these shores for a share of our unparalleled rights and opportunities. Yet, with staggering hypocrisy, a clique of racial warlords and academic malcontents indicts our every institution for racial oppression.

No stranger to ideological combat, Mr. Horowitz anticipates the standard charges of racism and sexism—wearisome bromides reflexively hurled at dissenters from the party line. Undaunted, he boldly grapples with contemporary racism in all its forms.

Uncivil Wars

by David Horowitz

Overview

The idea that taxpayers should pay reparations to African-Americans for the damages of slavery and segregation has won the backing of important black politicians like Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.), distinguished black intellectuals like Henry Louis Gates, and activists like Randall Robinson, who led the successful boycott movement against South Africa a decade ago. Reparations played a central role in the fractious United Nations Conference on Racism in the fall of 2001.

Uncivil Wars
In Uncivil Wars, David Horowitz carefully analyzes the case for reparations for slavery and concludes that it is “morally questionable and racially incendiary.” He notes that only a tiny minority of Americans ever owned slaves and that most Americans living today (white and otherwise) are descended from post-Civil War immigrants who have no lineal connection to slavery at all. More intriguingly, he also points out that the GNP of black America is so large that it makes the African-American community the tenth most prosperous “nation” in the world. “Since American blacks on average enjoy per capita incomes 20 to 50 times those of blacks living in the African nations from which their ancestors were seized,” he writes, “should the descendants of slaves pay themselves for benefiting from the fruits of their ancestors’ servitude?”

“Since American blacks on average enjoy per capita incomes 20 to 50 times those of blacks living in the African nations from which their ancestors were seized,” he writes, “should the descendants of slaves pay themselves for benefiting from the fruits of their ancestors’ servitude?” In answering this and other questions, Horowitz looks deeply into the question of race and the American enterprise and provides a stirring defense of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln and other of our national heroes whom the partisans of reparations demean as mere slave-masters and hypocrites.

In addition to providing a casebook on an idea—a bad idea, in Horowitz’s opinion—whose time seems to have come, Uncivil Wars also reveals a crisis of free speech on our college campuses, where support for the reparations movement is centered. In the hope of initiating a true dialogue on this issue, Horowitz tried to air his arguments against reparations for slavery by placing advertisements in a series of college newspapers in the spring of 2001. He tells how some of the editors who accepted the ad were forced to denounce themselves Chinese Communist-style in the furor that followed. Others simply rejected the ad altogether and joined other student radicals in indicting him as a “racist” and a “fascist.” Horowitz then traveled to campuses all over the country on a “freedom tour” to challenge this censorship, and encountered such menace from radicals and their supporters in faculties and administrations that he was eventually forced to hire personal guards to guarantee his safety.

Uncivil Wars, therefore, is two stories at once: an intellectual journey into the guilt and redemption of American history, and a personal journey into the havens of intolerance inside our centers of higher learning that threaten their integrity and vitality.

It is impossible to travel with David Horowitz and not return both shaken and enlightened.

Volume VI – Progressive Racism

by David Horowitz

Overview

By David Horowitz

This is the sixth volume of my writings called The Black Book of the American Left. It is also one of the most important, as its subject—race—goes to the heart of the most problematic aspect of America’s history and heritage, and is thus the focus of the progressive assault on America and the American social contract. For obvious reasons, progressives have largely concentrated on one race in particular—American blacks, or “African-Americans” as they have come to be known through at least five permutations of political correctness in my lifetime: “coloreds,” “Negroes,” “blacks,” “persons of color” and—only then— “African-Americans.” The injustices of slavery and segregation and the historic sufferings of this community form a factual basis for the progressive indictment, which systematically ignores the historic gains—unprecedented and unparalleled—of this community because of America’s tolerant and liberating social contract.
