Presidential Racism

The Words of U.S. Presidents Since the Civil War; And an Essay: The Enduring Anti-Democratic Disease Afflicting Us--And Its Cure

Beschreibung

Most U. S. presidents since the Civil War have expressed racist views or advocated for "white supremacy." They are quoted so that we see their racism in their own words. The book includes an essay that explains the existing historical forces opposing the growth of democracy and presents the ideas, founded in ethics, that counteract these forces.

Autor

John L. Hodge has written books, essays and letters addressing democracy, racism, sexism, elitism, the separation of religion and government, and the misdirected interpretation by the U.S. Supreme Court of the free speech clause of the First Amendment. His writings critically assess the role of European intellectual history in advancing anti-democratic concepts. He explains how real democracy is based on an ethical concept derived from an expanded golden rule. He has a Ph.D. in philosophy from Yale University, a law degree from the University of California (Berkeley Law), and a bachelors degree in mathematics from the University of Kansas. He is a retired healthcare lawyer and a former professor of philosophy.
