Racism, hypocrisy, and bad faith a moral challenge to the America I love Bailey, Julius 1970- creator author. text bibliography onc 2020 2020 monographic eng print xxix, 182 pages : illustrations ; 23 cm "The election of President Trump, through his campaign of race-baiting, sexual harassment, and blatant disregard for human decency, lowered the moral bar of American public discourse. Julius Bailey's latest book discusses the current state of hypocrisy and mistrust in the American political system, especially as these affect ethnic minorities and low-income groups. In powerful and inspiring prose, Bailey writes with a voice well-informed by current events, empirical data, and philosophical observation. Bailey looks at the causes and consequences of this new era, and applies his passionate yet astute analysis to issues such as hate speech, gerrymandering, the use of the Confederate flag, and America's relationship with the gun."-- Trump: The Inheritor of the GOP's Southern Strategy -- Shifting the Goalpost: Poli-Tricks and the Art of Political Gerrymandering -- Environmental (Un)Protection -- The Great American Tear: America and the Gun -- A War of Words: The Politicization of Hate Speech -- Origins, Intentions, and Meanings: The Rebel Battle Flag and Its Role in Creating a Bad-Faith White Identity -- The Flag Today: Pride, Heritage, Terror, Freedom -- The Rationale for Colin Kaepernick's Moral Stance.
