Twelve Steps for White America: For a United States of America

Twelve Steps for White America: For a United States of America answers the revolutionary call of James Baldwin in "The Fire Next Time" for new standards for white Americans.



Educator and former psychotherapist William Watson presents a treatment plan for democracy, an innovative framework of steps white Americans can take (and all individuals and organizations can incorporate) to right our nation's course to peace and prosperity through justice then liberty for all.



The problem: Watson's Rigged Advantage Theory presents U.S. democracy as compromised by advantage rigged to favor some, exploit others, and marginalize many. Rigged advantage operates a whiteness inclusion-collusion that relies on two codependent strategies-white supremacy and anti-Blackness.



The solution: Address elements of dysfunction common to both rigged advantage and alcoholism. Apply 12 steps of known recovery principles to unshackle the past, promote U.S. security and global competitiveness, and eliminate race as a predictor of democracy's outcomes.



Twelve Steps for White America maps a pathway to truth, reconciliation, and renewal forged in a crucible of national repentance, atonement, and redemption.
