A disgusted Black man boldly confronts the dysfunctional and criminal subculture (along with their apologists) that exists within the African-American community. This race-realist endeavor exposes many inconvenient truths, and will certainly become a catalyst for candid conversation. Flooded with statistics, headlines, pictures, and other evidence, this book is not simply an anecdotal tale of a miserable, inner-city existence... it’s a war report.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"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 -"White Girl Bleed A Lot", "Don't Make the Black Kids Angry"

"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

"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

From the Author

Agreeing with the book's politically-incorrect content doesn't mean you're a "racist" or "sell-out"... it means you're a realist!

BE A SELLOUT

Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2018

Verified Purchase

I thought I was the only one who HATED them. They make our beautiful black race look so bad. I wish I could put them all on a ship them all back to Africa & leave all the regular blacks here. What I learned for this book is that low class blacks can tell me "NOTHING". The degenerates can't call me a sellout or any other names. JUST LOOK AT THEM! LOOOK!

The Straw That Broke The Liberal Camel's Back

Reviewed in the United States on November 28, 2016

Verified Purchase

The Un-Civil War was an integral part of a paradigm shift for myself. I was born into a lower middle class white family in 1967 and raised in Nashville,TN. I'm not from the country but all of my family is and I was taught by very imperfect parents to work hard, value learning, & respect others. I was taught to vote democrat because they were for the average working man & equal rights for blacks who historically suffered at the brutal hands of slavery. I attended the university & worked. I was sold the liberal agenda by professors that I admired mostly for their intellect. I read historical accounts of black men who struggled courageous for something better & became Liberal and Democrat. Armed with my liberal indoctrination , I was liberal by every account.

In the real world I worked yet went through some lean poorer times. I didn't like it when at the grocery, I could fairly easily spot folks getting their groceries free with their ebt cards and buying expensive foods I couldn't afford. How was that fair ? Still I remained Liberal telling myself that I was doing the right thing for folks more disavantaged than myself. There was an unrest now though for those who abused the welfare system. I figured those Americans who either can't or won't work perhaps shouldn't be allowed to spend their ebt on steaks,shrimp and steeply priced items.

My income was modest so I bought my first house cheaply in a black neighborhood. Being a Liberal Democrat & working in social services for delinquent youth, I fit in rather well in " the hood " so to speak . After living there for 12 years, I was a middle aged white liberal living in a black neighborhood & working at a facility that tried to teach teenaged juvenille deliquents a better way. I was more Liberal than ever.

I was jogging as usual around my black neighborhood. I was minding my own business as usual and ran past a group of teen males. They sicked a big dog on me which I faced in the face with my foot. The punks attacked me briefly. Luckily no one was hurt. A black woman came out of her house and blamed me for the altercation.

I was enraged. How could they attack me I wondered. After all I have voted democrat , befriended black people, promoted racial tolerance,diversity, and supported the efforts of blacks to be what was "equal".

I was still gonna be Liberal but I discovered reports of whites being attacked by black groups fairly randomly. I had questions in my mind about why I was jumped on. This lead me to Taleeb Starkes' courageous about social dynamics in black america. It speaks frankly & in terms most anyone could understand. By the time I read his book I was a " moderate" liberal but Talleb's great book was definitely the straw that broke the camels back. His informative account of the how & why of what is happening in lower class black america is astounding, eye-opening, & thought provoking. Somewhere in the midst of my so called "white guilt" , I had begun to feel that even I had some racial animosity deep within my liberal self. By reading The Un-Civil War, I realized that I am not rascist, prdejudiced, or a bigot... I simply don't care for leeches of society no matter what color their skin may be. I don't like or hang with white trashy people and I don't like or hang with black trashy people. ( And that does not make me a racist !) . Thank You for this book Mr. Starkes. It made a big difference in my path to freedom from liberalism .

A STARK REJECTION OF CERTAIN CULTURAL ELEMENTS IN BLACK CULTURE(S)

Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2020

Verified Purchase

Author Taleeb Starkes wrote in the Introduction to this 2013 book, “I am merely a BLACK man who possesses multi-layered animosity towards a subculture that openly exists within the African-American community My aversion runs so deep that I’m committed to combatting this subculture on any accessible platform… I’m no aristocratic, black elitist that has ‘made it’… Nope, this is an honest and direct assessment recorded from an ugly front line; it’s void of political correctness and happy endings. My meager academic credentials consist of a public high school diploma and an incomplete [black college] experience; thus, my viewpoint isn’t that of a scholar, intellectual giant, or wordsmith. Instead, it’s shaped by my experience as a father-husband… living in a modest row home in a ‘working poor’ area… Overall, I’m just a fed-up citizen who’s venting about the impact of a dysfunctional and bloodthirsty minority within a minority… As an individual, I felt powerless against a subculture that was seemingly dictating terms in most major cities. So, for more than a decade, mentorship has been my primary, combative weapon against it. However, my efforts haven’t kept pace with its unending lawlessness that dilapidating communities and cities.” (Pg. 1)

He continues, “I’m truly tired of premature funerals… I’m truly tired of parents burying their children… I’m truly tired of ‘R.I.P’ tee shirts, and murals of victims… I’m truly tired of the cycle of violence and dysfunction engineered by Urban Terrorists!... therefore the N____R [‘N’ henceforth in this review] subculture had to be confronted.” (Pg. 3)

He notes, “Historically, the N subculture wasn’t as prominent as it is at present; once upon a time, the African-American underclass mainly consisted of blacks. This was when African-American communities were based on common-unity, low illegitimacy rates, and children respecting adults. Moreover, ‘black on black’ homicides were anomalies… Blacks have always tried to reform the other segments of the African-American populace; some blamed racism while others cited shiftlessness.” (Pg. 43-44)

He states, “N-on-N crime is basically a form of ethnic cleansing, and because N-on-N incidences are easily recognized… police labor and taxpayer money shouldn’t be wasted on lengthy … investigations or homey-cides. In fact, due to Chicago’s lack of manpower and other factors, only 129 of their 506 murders (2012) were solved. Even still, these limited resources should be reserved for circumstances where [N]tivity affects civilians.” (Pg. 56) Later, he adds, “To be clear, I don’t mind the N herd thinning itself via homey-cides, but the resulting collateral damage is concerning… Honestyly, if the entire 47.4% of African-American victims were from the N segment, I wouldn’t lost a wink of sleep, but unfortunately, such wasn’t the case… So who is killing African-American males? Here’s a hint: it isn’t the Ku Klux Klan or George Zimmerman types.” (Pg. 74)

He asserts, “As a pastime, Ns leisurely possess multiple promiscuous relationships. Their polygamous affairs are nothing more than thoughtless breeding for pure pleasure. Although their hyper-sexuality, and irresponsible practice of ‘procreation for recreation’ guarantees astonishingly bloated illegitimacy rates (amongst other pathologies), careless mating remains standard practice in the [ghetto]… this lone strength is an overtaxing liability to society. Ultimately, Baby Daddies and Baby Mamas share responsibility for this quagmire and should be considered public nuisances. The time spent during the child’s conception typically represents the only significant time that these two are truly united in the child’s life… In their subculture, Baby Daddies aren’t really expected to play a significant role in the child’s life. Yes, Ns are ‘fathers’ on paper (birth certificate), but taxpayers will ultimately be the provider. Baby Daddies are the reason that African-American dads have horrible reputations. In fact, Child Support Court seemingly makes a concentrated effort to financially ‘stick it’ to the involved BLACK fathers as compensation for the deadbeat Baby Daddies. On the flip side, Baby Mamas have it good because they typically receive society’s compassion without being held accountable, whereas men are held accountable without society’s compassion.” (Pg. 116-117)

He contends, “Regardless of whichever religious cloak Ns claim to subscribe, Ns are fraud! Don’t be fooled by their necklaces, with a Jesus charm, or any other religion-related item; it’s for attention, not religious piety. In other words, they only use religion to forward their agenda… Ns don’t pray, they prey. That’s why the light at the end of the tunnel that most Ns will likely see, won’t be GOD; it will be a muzzle flash.” (Pg. 134)

He asks, “Since Ns consider self-improvement, expanding horizons and intelligence as ‘acting White’… what is ‘acting BLACK?’ Is committing crimes acting black? Is having multiple Baby Mamas or Daddies acting black? Is being permanent government dependents acting black?... Is contributing nothing to society, yet expecting everything … acting black? Is speaking an unintelligible, offshoot version of English acting black? No, none of this is acting black! On the contrary, it’s acting like a N!” (Pg. 162)

He observes, “The saggin’ pants style (or lack of) is the wearing of pants in a way that deliberately exposes one’s buttocks. In the [ghetto], this is considered a form of ‘swag,’ which exemplifies style or confidence…. Outside the [ghetto], saggin’ is generally perceived as moronic and classless… Saggin’ is so normal in the [ghetto] that a fashion company has actually created jeans to enhance the saggin’ experience… In essence, this company is selling pants to the N subculture that deliberately exposes butt cheeks at different angles. Sometimes, the truth is stranger than fiction.” (Pg. 176-177)

He concludes, “Growing up in the … projects, I partially assimilate into your [N] subculture. I used to think that you deserved pity over scorn, but I was wrong; my pity is now reserved for victims… and taxpayers… As a student of life, I recognize that in many cases, non-conformity has actually led to the rise of great ideas, music, art, inventions, etc. in history; yet, your non-conformity only produces rebels without causes… this book … addresses the quality of life issues that you pose and emphasizes that Ns benefit from BLACKS, whereas BLACKS suffer because of Ns. … In closing, I’ve accepted the irrationality of your subculture. A culture that blames the ‘White’ man for failures, bleeds the system, avoids social responsibility, and education while claimng to ‘keepin’ it real.’ Quite simply, you are feral blacks with sociopathic tendencies… Time is running out for your subculture; the taxpayers’ patience is thinning, and the country… no longer believes that your behavior is a manifestation of despair caused by centuries of racism and oppression… The only positive aspect of your existence is that it provides continuous teachable moments for BLACK children to learn how not to be.” (Pg. 227-228)

Obviously a book that is both passionate and confrontational, the good points Starkes sometimes makes are often overwhelmed by the rhetorical excesses he engages in. (But note that this was his first book; his later books, 'Black Lies Matter,’ and ‘The Gospel of Knee-Sus,’ offer some improvement.)

Finally! A book that explains what many of us couldn't put into words.

Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2017

Taleeb Starks (a Black man) has a grasp of what goes on in the Black community like no other author I've read. I spent 20 years as a Police Officer in a major metropolitan city trying to protect the decent people OF ALL COLORS from that subset that isn't worth the air they breath. Now before someone gets their panties in a bunch and calls me a racist, I have and have had many Black friends, I just have no use for that other bunch. Mr. Starks does and excellent job of explaining the difference between the two.

Am I ever glad I found this book

Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2014

Verified Purchase

Am I ever glad I found this book! Finally someone putting to words things I have clearly felt and experienced. Like the author, I too grew up the hard way, made some wrong turns and learned from them. I renounced the NIGGER mentality and distance myself from it. It is a dead end street. It is also time for the BLACK community to stand up against this. Only we can do that. I am sick and tired of anyone excusing anti-social and criminal behavior using the oppressed label. I have experienced white racism but I refuse to allow anyone to draw me down to their level which I see as far below my own. No one can make me inferior. Cutting the cord is not about leaving behind, but I am not going to drag anyone where they so clearly do not want to go and in the process hamper myself. Can't pull your own weight? Get the hell off my team.

Well thought book with some extreme solutions.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 28, 2015

Verified Purchase

Taleeb obviously isn't a professional writer & states as much, so his use of colours & layout style is off putting, so for that, it loses a star.

However, if you're looking at..shall we say, a race-realist book on black sub-culture, this highlights a lot of the problems that are in the U.S right now & are also relevant to the UK as well.

It's a good read, it'll have the shrieking cry baby liberals clutching their pearls at what he says, but coming from a black guy who lived within the sub-culture, it's hard to disagree with it...since it's obvious anyway.

Truth though, never interests people on the left.

The author has obviously chosen the most provocative title he could think of. He also quotes Malcolm X, 'I'm for the truth,no matter who tells it'. He makes his case very well and gives his contact details. It goes without saying that he is to be found on YouTube.

Having grown up surrounded by this subculture as my peers considered it “cool” , I always wondered what the outcome of their lives would be. This books essentially sums it up & made me laugh not just once, but SEVERAL times! However, the fact that these people taint our community’s image is no laughing matter at all , so we honestly need to marginalise this subculture as much as possible. Brilliant book , recommended for young black males in particular.

Will not be read by N-WORD! (For obvious reasons)

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 25, 2015

Verified Purchase

Good definitions, statistics and facts. Jovial in some parts, sad and hard reading in others. Real honesty from the author. An exposé and critique of N-WORD which no BLACK person can deny.
N.B Although a U.S study, generally what is evidenced about
N-WORD in this book is also applicable to the N-WORD in the midst of BLACK people in the U.K
