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.

interesting

An interesting, fact heavy book that covers much ground and does so without pulling punches. The control left and alt right are both dealt blows.

One annoying issue is the confused usage of "percentage" and "percentage points".

Refreshing Listen!

For me, this book was quite refreshing amidst all the noise currently being expressed about rampant racism. I refuse to believe that this country is as racist as some would have us believe. Thank you, Wilfred, for writing it!

Brilliant... much more than expected

Wilfred Reilly in "Taboo" makes logical unemotional conclusions from solid facts. He is a voice of reason in a time of agenda driven narratives.

Challenging without being intentionall provocative

I don't agree with 100% of what he says but definitely worth listening to. Fact-based and intelligent.

Everyone in America needs to hear/read this book!

Reilly has produced the quintessential balanced, well researched, clear, concise description of racial-political tension in America today.
His treatment of the “Taboos” are even handed while not sparing any pertinent subject.
“Taboo”communicates current realistic research devoid of the bias of partisan or ideological bias so prevalent in other authors.
