Remember when everything was looking up? When the government was running at a surplus, pollution was disappearing, peace was breaking out in the Middle East and Northern Ireland, and the Bridge to the 21st century was strung with high–speed Internet cable and paved with 401K gold?

Well, so much for the future. Michael Moore, the award–winning provocateur behind Roger & Me and the bestseller Downsize This!, now returns to size up the new century – and that big, ugly special–interest group that's laying waste to the world as we know it: stupid white men. Whether he's calling for United Nations action to overthrow the Bush Family Junta, calling on African–Americans to place 'whites only' signs over the entrances of unfriendly businesses, or praying that Jesse Helms will get kissed by a man, Stupid White Men is Mike's Manifesto on Malfeasance and Mediocrity. So if you're feeling the same way and you're wondering what's going to give out first – the economy, Dick Cheney's pacemaker, or your new VW Beetle – here's the book for you.

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Stupid White Men, Michael Moore's screed against "Thief-in-Chief" George Bush's power elite, hit No. 1 at Amazon.com within days of publication. Why? It's as fulminating and crammed with infuriating facts as any right-wing bestseller, as irreverent as The Onion, and as noisily entertaining as a wrestling smackdown. Moore offers a more interesting critique of the 2000 election than Ralph Nader's Crashing the Party (he argued with Nader, his old boss, who sacked him), and he's serious when he advocates ousting Bush. But Moore's rage is outrageous, couched in shameless gags and madcap comedy: "Old white men wielding martinis and wearing dickies have occupied our nation's capital.... Launch the SCUD missiles! Bring us the head of Antonin Scalia!... We are no longer [able] to hold free and fair elections. We need U.N. observers, U.N. troops." Moore's ideas range from on-the-money (Arafat should beat Sharon with Gandhi's nonviolent shame tactics) to over-the-top: blacks should put inflatable white dolls in their cars so racist cops will think they're chauffeurs; the ever-more-Republicanesque Democratic Party should be sued for fraud; "no contributions toward advancing our civilization ever came out of the South [except Faulkner, Hellman, and R.J. Reynolds]," because it's too hot to think straight there; Korean dictator Kim Jong-il "has got to broaden himself beyond porn and John Wayne" by watching better movies, like Dude, Where's My Car? (which contains "all you need to know about America"). Whatever your politics, Stupid White Men should make you blow your stack. --Tim Appelo

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Michael Moore has three masters’ degrees in theology, counseling and psychology. Ordained in 1980 to the ministry of pastoral counseling. He was also a licensed professional counselor for over 35 years, practicing in Christian hospital programs and in private practice, with additional experience in lecturing, workshops, doing utilization review, employee assistance consulting and personal coaching. Years of clinical practice have made real to him the truth noted by Blaise Pascal “the heart has reasons, which reason knows not of.” Human intellect includes experiential, intuitive and tacit processes and not just logical and inductive inferences from sense experience. This has led him to write Image of God, which has implications for human flourishing, spiritual growth, apologetics and the Body of Christ as well as understanding the uniqueness of the American Republic.

Beware of flying hyperbole!

Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2003

Verified Purchase

I was prone from the start to give this book a favorable review, because my politics are right there with Moore's. For readers like me, he's preaching to the choir. I found the book alternately entertaining and disturbing as facts, statistics, serious rants and cheeky humor flew off the page. Some passages made me want to jump up and help change the world; others made me feel that it's all too much and that I'll soon be hopelessly watching our nation unravel. I suspect the author's own moods fluctuate in a similar way.
I'm only giving the book 3 stars despite my political and social agreement with the author. The book is frustratingly inconsistent. Moore has a tendency to pinball dizzyingly among fact, conjecture and hyperbole. He whips up his essays into a verbal froth, at times running head-on into generalizations that damaged my trust in him. Specific example: Moore's wholesale depiction of public defenders as inept bumblers, when instead he could have taken a more focused stance on the systemic problems and left the insulting generalization out. It's the equivalent of describing police officers as donut-eating fools. It earns a snicker from some of us, but we get nothing out of it.
Bottom line: Moore has important things to say. Unfortunately, the people who need to hear these things are the ones least likely to read this book. Even if they did read it, the inconsistencies in Moore's tone and authority would likely make the whole work easy to dismiss.

I really wanted to like this book!

Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2002

But I just can't. I ordered it hoping to get an insightful, humorous, and unbiased take on everything going on yet this book didn't make it. I know very little about Mr. Moore and all this book proved to me was that he is way too liberal for his own good. Or maybe I am wrong. The book came across as just one big rant. He just complains and complains and complains and nothing really gets accomplished. Kinda like the government he is bashing. It was not funny at all in fact I grew very tired trying to finish each chapter. I give him some credit though because he has very good ideas but his delivery is awful. If you want to hear mindless and often unfounded claims of outrageous behavior in this country and the crazy political talk shows on tv don't help ya then grab this book but if you are just a conscious person looking to gain some humorous or just plain insight to the state of things stay away. The hypocrisy in this book is also stunning and thought when you have a liberal or a conservative arguing you can never be truly free of it I understand this but Morre gets so lost in his own rants that I truly think he forgets what it was he started out saying. Another problem with this book which makes it unenjoyable is that after all his complaining and tirades he offers few if any solutions to the problem. It seems like the only way to solve anything is if you are white kill yourself. I have to admit though that I never finished the book. I grew so tired of it all. Maybe because I am not liberal enough or mabe because I am not paranoid or maybe because I just can't agree with him on many points. I am not a conservative and I have never voted for a Republican or a Democrat (I did vote for Moore's beloved Nader). I believe niether party functions for the common man but Moore simply seems to be too Liberal for his own good. He has fallen into the traditional liberal stereotype by complaining complaining complaining and not offering any suggestion for repair other than just give everything to those who have nothing and take it all away from those who have it. So if you really want to read this book I suggest you find it in a library or somewhere you don't have to pay for it (Moore would probably like that because then his big corporate publisher wouldn't get your money). Just like my own review or Moore's book I found that he made very few intelligent points at all. And in response to those ultra-liberals, Robin Hood was truly one of you but what happens when he steals money from the rich and gives it to you? Who does he steal from next?

Not Mike's best

Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2003

Verified Purchase

I would have to say Downsize this is a much better book. In Stupid White Men (SWM) Mike starts out really strong with the first two chapters, but he keeps working his way left until he's left all sanity and reason behind. Overcompensating isn't going to help anyone, but when you make a career out of pointing out problems and offering no solutions it's difficult to avoid that pitfall.
Mike' humor also tends to fall rather flat in written form. In SWM his ranting, sarcastic style comes off more grating than humorous. His comedy really only works when he shoves a microphone in someone's face and lets them dig their own hole. A little editing and some poignant voice-over and you have yourself some entertaining and relevant material, but you'll find none of that in SWM obviously.
If you want to see Moore at his best pick up the Awful Truth DVD set. It's more expensive, but more entertaining and really more informative since video keeps Mike at least somewhat grounded in reality instead of just spouting random ideals.
