"Starkes' concern is very real. He sees what's happening within the black community and is speaking out to wake other blacks up. People like Starkes are too often attacked mercilessly for deigning to go against the black establishment." - Dr. Fred DeRuvo, Author, Lecturer, Biblical Scholar
"Mr. Starkes is one of the few very courageous voices willing to tell the truth. We can only hope that his bravery will inspire millions of others to grab the reins and demand an end to the glamorization of the very destructive behavior he describes." - Teri O'Brien, National Conservative Talk Radio Host
"This book is a plea for civility. A plea for authenticity. A plea to recognize a racial problem that is destroying a large chunk of the fabric of America life."- Colin Flaherty, Author - "Don't Make the Black Kids Angry" & "White Girl Bleed A Lot"
"The Un-Civil War is the greatest analysis on the black community in the post civil rights era I have ever read. The glossary of terms is incredible." - Pastor Kevin W. Cosby, President of Simmons College of Kentucky, Senior Pastor of St. Stephen Church
Agreeing with the book's politically-incorrect content doesn't mean you're a "racist" or "sell-out"... it means you're a realist!
From the Inside Flap
This book is dedicated to the memory of those innocent souls whose lives were snatched by urban terrorists.
From the Back Cover
Taleeb Starkes admittedly possesses multi-layered animosity towards a dysfunctional and sociopathic subculture that openly exists within the African-American community. His abhorrence runs so deeply that he has dedicated a substantial portion of his adult life combatting it and its tenets. For more than a decade, he has used mentorship to deter the youth from being seduced by this subculture; however, that lone, altruistic effort has seemingly done little to stifle its steady proliferation. Feeling a sense of urgency, his strategy was revised; penning this confrontational book became a priority.
