You either accept the Settler conclusion as being simplistic or you accept that it also applies to the imperial core as a whole and that America as a whole should be treated as hostile. Site mods here can't have it both ways.

    I think it's good to read to understand how America got to the way it is today. You don't have to read it and hate white people, but knowing your history is important

      It's not the only history book out there for this purpose. There's lots of good stuff like The Invention of the White Race, Black Bolshevik, A People's History of the United States, Black Reconstruction in America, etc. What makes Sakai unique is the Third Worldism stuff, but if you want to read American history from a left and Marxist perspective (especially with respect to race), there's a lot out there.
