520 |a "In this book, Jim Freeman suggests that the biggest reason America cannot get beyond its racial divide is as simple as it disturbing: Racism is enormously profitable. Rich Thanks to Racism exposes a group of Corporate America and Wall Street billionaires as a driving force behind the public policies that perpetuate racial inequities and cause severe harm to communities of color across the country"--  |c Provided by publisher. 
520 |a "More than fifty years after the civil rights movement, there are still glaring racial inequities across the United States. In Rich Thanks to Racism, Jim Freeman, one of the countries leading civil rights lawyers, explains why as he reveals the hidden strategy behind systemic racism. He details how the driving force behind the public policies that continue to devastate communities of color across the United States is a small group of ultra-wealthy individuals who profit mightily from racial inequality. In this groundbreaking exaination of "strategic racism," Freeman carefully dissects the cruel and deeply harmful policies within the education, criminal justice, and immigration systems to discover their origins and why they persist. He uncovers billions of dollars in aligned investments by Bill Gates, Charles Koch, Mark Zuckerberg, and a handful of other billionaires that are dismantling public school systems across the United States. He exposes how the greed of prominent US corporations and Wall Street banks was instrumental in creating the world's largest prison population and our most extreme anti-immigration policies. Freeman also demonstartes hwo these "racism profiteers" pit white communities against communities of color, preventing flagrant injustices from being addressed. Rich Thanks to Racism is an invaluable road map for all those who recognize that the key to unlocking the United States' full potential is for more people of all races and ethnicities to prioritize racial justice." --  |c From book jacket.
