SELLOUT: Musings from Uncle Tom's Porch

Washington, DC – The election of Barack Obama in 2008 as the first black president of the United States was supposed to put to rest once and for all the question of whether or not America was inherently and irredeemably racist. Such a nation would never have elected a man of color to arguably the most powerful position on the planet. Mere weeks before his inauguration, his public approval rating was a staggering 83 percent. A so-called post-racial era had begun.

Now we have millions of good and decent Americans who oppose the Obama Administration being called racists, as if half of all the people who at first approved of his performance donned white robes and hoods overnight. Disagree with the biggest spendthrift in presidential history? Racist. Hold two veteran lawmakers accountable for abusing the public trust? Racist. We are more divided by race than we've been in decades.

Conservative writer and commentator Ron Miller takes on all the players of the race card in his new book, SELLOUT: Musings from Uncle Tom's Porch. This personal, candid and compelling account of one black conservative's journey leaves no stone unturned and lets no race baiters off the hook. Miller exposes the real sellouts, the black liberals and their white sponsors who've treated the black community like lab rats for 45 years. The experiment must end, people are dying or living without hope while black preachers and politicians line their pockets and keep the lie of racism alive.
