The mantra of 'White Guilt' has divided America today along racial lines almost as deep as those that ruptured America in 1861 when the nation fought over the question of slavery. In the 1860s, there was no question of the reality of slavery but are the accusations of racism today true? Author Rich Rostron doesn't think so. And the more he heard the claims, the more he 'contemplated' the basis of those claims, the more he was convinced that they are based on a selective and distorted view of the facts - that they miss key points that turn those claims on their heads.

A Deplorable Neanderthal Contemplates White Guilt is a brief yet sober appraisal of America's racial past. It is also an honest introspective that challenges the notion that America is a "racist nation." It will provide many readers with perspectives they may not have considered while providing others with understanding that will help them to negotiate the maze of propagandist attacks against the country and its citizens. Going further, it also points to ongoing problems and appropriate approaches to remedy the problems that continue to vex America and Americans.

The author pulls no punches with an intellectually honest consideration of the validity, or lack of validity, when Americans are told they bear a burden of guilt. He also considers the motivations of those who make those claims.
