In one word, Hilarious! For the full impact of the sarcastic humor and wit I would recommend grabbing the audiobook, and don't worry a supplementary file with all the extra pictures mentioned is included. As funny as this book is, it also highlights the fundamental racism and prejudice that has formed the legislative and judicial 'lay of the land' to result in modern day America...aka The Apartheid Republic of America.
This book shows what every minority experiences in this country on a daily basis. The stories, very relatable, and something you definitely need to give as a gift to that racist uncle!

There is no scenario in which this book does not receive 5 starts from me, so it's a good thing it's a very worthwhile read, both in terms of eye-opening accounts of racism and in terms of joke density. Sure, the format was a little scattered, but it read like two very funny people shouting *insane* stories at you from across the table.

You try to educate yourself about systemic racism, you've read book after book about what it is like to be a Black person living in the United States; but then you read this this compendium of microaggressions heaped onto this one nuclear family and you realize that as much knowledge as you have gained, as much empathy you think you have, you will never fully understand what it is like to be Black in this country.

Lacey Lamar and Amber Ruffin are so good at telling stories. Even when the stories are negative or have bad parts, they know how to tell it in an engaging way. I hope they keep writing together
