When three men announce that they are suing the Rosato & DiNunzio law firm for reverse sex discrimination - claiming that they were not hired because they were men - Mary DiNunzio and Bennie Rosato are outraged.

The plaintiffs' lawyer is Nick Machiavelli, who has already lost to Mary once and is now back with a vengeance - determined not to not only win, but destroy the firm. It soon becomes clear that Machiavelli will do anything in his power to achieve his end...even after the case turns deadly.

Why does everything have to be about race? : 25 arguments that won't go away / by Boykin, Keith,author.(CARDINAL)635350;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 229-257) and index."The Civil War was about states' rights, not slavery!" "If you don't like it here, you should go back to Africa." "What about Black-on-Black crime?" "You're just playing the race card." There's a whole arsenal of popular "gotchas" that crop up again and again in discussions about race in America. According to the people who use them, Critical Race Theory is a dangerous threat that promotes racial hatred, and affirmative action is reverse discrimination. At the same time, they insist that racism ended withthe Obama presidency, and Black people should be grateful for the privilege of living in the United States. In Why Does Everything Have to Be About Race? Keith Boykin sets the record straight, explaining why such all-too-common assertions are simply nottrue. Effortlessly combining history, pop culture, and stories from his own life, Boykin lays out the truth about anti-Black racism and white supremacy in America. Racist lies and misbeliefs just don't seem to go away-but with the help of this book, theyalso won't go unchallenged"--

Reverse Racism by Jabbar, UK;
"Have you ever wondered what the world would be like if we could all just trade places and exchange roles? Who would make up most of our politicians, judges, doctors, lawyers, and entrepreneurs? On the other hand, who would fill the factories, low paying jobs, crime ridden streets, jails, and prisons? Which of us would be unsatisfied, rebellious, and frustrated and who would be content living an existence of blissful ignorance towards our socio-economic injustices? Now that I have your attention allow me to introduce you to a world just as such. In my book Reverse Racism, you will follow the plight of a young white woman who faces the disparities of living in a world where white isn't right. A world where men find her sexually attractive, but her beauty as a human being is denied. Her long straight hair, pointed nose, and pale skin are overlooked or dismissed from elitism because in this world, black is the standard of beaty and the very definition of power. Follow Caroleanne on a journey that begins with race and takers her through the realities of compassion, lust, empathy, betrayal, and love, leading her to the ultimate truth of how things really came to be." -Back of Book
