Description: San Francisco Chronicle March 11, 1989 A book called "The White Man's Bible" is racist but is not violently inflammatory and must be returned to the prisoner from whom it was seized in 1986, a federal judge in San Francisco has said. The book was confiscated from the maximum-security cell of inmate Norman Willhoite in November 1986 by T.V. Arzatee, a San Quentin guard. At the time, the guard said the book could provoke racial violence. In a ruling released yesterday, U.S. District Judge Fern Smith said the state failed to prove that the book presented any imminent danger. The issue was before Smith on a petition by Willhoite for the book's return. "Although the book clearly advocates racial purity, it does not advocate direct acts of voilence or any illegal activity," Smith said. "Further, even though advocating racism, the book is not sufficiently racially inflammatory to be reasonably likely to cause violence at the prison." Excerpts of the book in court files refer to blacks as "subhuman" and said of whites, "We must organize and expand until we embrace the planet Earth. Let the Jews and mud races take note." It also calls for hanging white "race traitors." The author is identified as Ben Klassen of the Church of the Creator.
