Holy shit is this book a buttload of fucking swears and slurs.

Summary: Ben Shapiro took his tiny little hands and wrote a shit ton of racist slurs, writes in full ebonics, spews racism, and this book is already dated severely.

The longer takeaway is below.

I'm not one for political books, though this is probably targeting people like me a bit, it really misses the mark at being educational and much more than Ben Shapiro word salading while using voice to text in the bathroom during a long shit. Also, there are enough song lines and quotes to be a fanfiction from the 2006 area, so that's got my eyes wanting to bleed.
I really don't know why he hates African Americans so much, besides clear racism showing its ugly face, but see the next show more paragraph for more on that.

This book fixates on African Americans a lot, in an excessive fear-mongering manner. Regularly and habitually Ben refers to people with melanin as terms that are equivalent to "savages". He regularly drops such racial ebonics like the n-word, talks about rappers being at fault for horny kids(???), and seems to miss that we've had pornographic music made by white people even pre-dating obvious ones like Cyndi Lauper and Divinyls, clearly, Shapiro forgot Madonna's Like a Virgin performance where she was told she can't stroke her hands along her body due to how sexual it was. This book's aim is to say the 2000s+ invented horniness and porn.

Included in the ebonics is the n-word started with a w, which is such a 2000s staple and nobody really uses it anymore, that it's surreal to see it in this book. Then Shapiro uses "bitches and hoes" unironically while removing the e from "hoes" for some reason. I don't get Ben one bit.

I just cited multiple artists flooding the system with horny songs in the very dawn of the 80s, clearly Ben is late. Eminem was a mid-2000s singer. Porn magazines began in the 1950s and were massive in the 60s-90s(dying off in the latter). Pornography like the Playboy Bunny/Mansion was made massive in the 60s. Again, Shapiro has everything dated, which doesn't work in the present day, where it's forty years plus ago on a good day!

This is a book that blames porn existing while being extremely racist for no reason, if I had to guess, Shapiro's real message would be in line with Uncle Ruckus', and we don't need that. African Americans did not invent pornography or porn addictions, and I think this book is very racist propaganda.

I do not recommend this book.

It was already outdated on the day it was published.
