This review is from: Countdown: An Autobiography (Silver arrow books) (Hardcover)
This is a very worthwhile book about Frank Borman, a national hero, the first to command a manned mission to lunar orbit. The author, Frank Borman himself, provides a lot of details about his military career, his NASA days, and his time at Eastern Airlines. But it also contains within it the seeds of what is wrong with American society, and why we are in decline.
Sprinkled throughout the book are several anti-White statements, some subtle, some not so subtle. The two most glaring ones are one where he complains about a policy at West Point, already repealed by the time he was a student there, forbidding Black cadets from dancing with White women, and another where he calls White people “rednecks” for maintaining a segregated school system that benefited White students. These may seem mild compared to the blatant anti-White statements and policies we hear today. Borman himself may think he was just being fair. After all, in other passages he wrote approvingly about flying the Confederate flag, and about how he disapproved of more favorable treatment for non-Whites. Nonetheless, attitudes such as these, which started to become common among members of his generation, set the stage for the more blatant anti-White policies that were to come, such as massive non-White immigration in ALL White countries and ONLY White countries. When we have Africa for the Africans, Asia for the Asians, and White countries for everybody, over time we have fewer and fewer White people. It’s White geNOcide. Frank Borman was indeed a great American hero, but he never understood the truth of the statement that anti-Racist is a codeword for anti-White.

Carloman's post is merely a White Supremacist's racist comment disguised as a book review.
Shame on Amazon for allowing it and deleting my previous comment pointing out the racism of Carloman's comment. They are laughing at you, Amazon. Go to this site and scroll up to read the Whitaker group's garbage ... http://www.whitakeronline.org/blog/topic/

I noticed this too, and can I just say how brave it is for you to put it out there! Poisonous anti-White attitudes such as dehumanizing working class folks as "rednecks" are as pervasive among some of the older generation. It's something we have to talk about even if it makes us uncomfortable. It's all too easy to justify anti-Whiteness as an ignorant attitude from a different time, but that denies the influence those attitudes had and continue to have today.

Honestly, labeling someone "supremacist" just because you disagree is simply childish.

We are in decline because White American men aren't in control anymore, to put it bluntly. Non-Whites, who never accomplished much, are in control today and thanks to endless open/mass immigration, the USA will never again recapture it's greatness. Radical egalitarianism is the order of the day (and future). Everyone equal, equally poor and whining about how their ancestors had their tender feelings hurt.
