Read it
First let me say that I did not know much about David Duke other than he was a political figure and a "racist." Three things surprised me as I started to read "My Awakening."

1. It is written very simply, clearly and honestly.
2. It has 1037 endnotes !
3. David Duke stands up for his beliefs, no backpedaling here.

Part one is about his childhood. He talks about everything from his moms battle with alcohol to his black housekeeper, Pinky. Along the way he explains how the race issue became an issue.

Part two is about the differences between blacks and whites. Duke explains how segregation would benefit both races. There are many inflammatory / thought provoking lines throughout the book.

Concerning desegregation :

"If Black students would be harmed by not being allowed to go to school White schools, doesn't it follow that White students would be harmed if they could not attend White schools ?"

"They babble about the school's rich diversity until their son comes home with ten stitches ........or their daughter has experienced a half dozen multicultural hands groping up her dress............."

"I came to the conclusion that America's founding fathers were right in that the only eventual solution to the race problem is allowing the freedom of separation."

Part three concerns the Jews and
Zionism.

Here are just a few topics Duke discusses :

The Diary of Anne Frank in questioned as to its genuineness.

Elie Wiesel, while in a "concentration camp" was given a choice between remaining in camp to be liberated by the Russians, or be evacuated with the Germans. Wiesel chose the latter.

Out of the 13 founders of the NAACP, 12 were Jewish.

Trotsky, Lenin and Marx were Jewish.

Sigmund Freud who attacks family values was Jewish.

Emma Lazarus was Jewish.

Duke asks :

Only Jews are allowed to be Israeli citizens ! Could you imagine if only _______ ( fill in the blank with any single race ) were allowed to be U.S. citizens ? ! ?

Why would Jews want to destroy American family values and flood the country with millions of third world aliens ? You will have to read the book. What third world nation would you like American to become ? That is a scary thought and the
U.S. Census seems to back up Duke's numbers. Just yesterday while listening to the radio, I learned that the term "illegal alien" is not politically correct, the new term is "undocumented."

Part four is where Duke recounts his travels, leadership in the KKK, and political victories and losses. The book ends with stern warnings and what White people can do to protect their heritage.

I can not present all the arguments but heres a few interesting lines:

"being cowards, we defeat Natural Selection under the cover of philanthropy", quote from George Shaw

"when will we see a movie called Trotsky's List ? "

"we are like a blindfolded tiger tormented by a mouse.... this book removes the blindfold" 

"fighting small battles such as... the capital gains tax,.... is like arguing over a shuffleboard point on the deck of the Titanic"    

"find a bad Southerner, one who will not defend
the South, and you will find an American who will not defend America"

There are hundreds of facts presented, it is up to the individual reader to decide how much of it is spin/bias/racism. Even if you are vehemently opposed to Duke's views,, use it as a challenge. Duke does not condone violence in any way and frankly seeing another side to any story is always educational. Just watch the news, listen to the radio, or read a newspaper on the
Israeli - Palestinian issue. The media is biased and personally I have never thought about the Palestinian side until now !
