About this listen

It has become virtually impossible to honestly discuss race, gender, and class issues in mainstream American society because if you dare repeat certain "tabooo truths", you'll be ostracized as a bigot. Professor Wilfred Reilly (author of Hate Crime Hoax and The $50,000,000 Question) fearlessly presents ten of these truths here and investigates why the mainstream is so afraid to acknowledge that they're true. Among these taboo truths are

  • men and women are different, although equal;
  • there is no epidemic of police murdering black people;
  • crime rates vary among ethnic groups; and
  • there are almost no "pay gaps" between big groups, when variables other than race and sex are adjusted for.

Amongst the faux indignation and half-truths of our time, this is a book that everyone needs to read. Until we get back to a place of genuine debate, held within a context of good faith and a willingness to disagree without vitriolic name-calling, the current polarisation of our communities will only get worse. This excellent book brings much needed light to a debate dominated by heat.

The truth, and nothing but the truth.

I’m enjoying this book it’s refreshing. Unfortunately the narrator seems quite weak to me. An unusual voice /cadence really not suited to this work in my opinion.

Good book

not great tbh. it was quite repetitive and the facts weren't there as solid as you would like. the numbers were there but no hard facts that would back up the opinion. maybe because I missed the print version I didn't get to read the reference list. but was disappointed that I bought it.

not as good as had thought
