I have been telling people about this since I started reading. This is a short book that is satirical but still addresses many of the racial justice issues that black people face. I watched D.L. Hughleys interview and wanted to read it.

Well! That was a quick, hilarious, and utterly depressing read. I think it does a good job walking that line between informative and in-your-face, though of course it crosses back and forth quite a bit, and so might be a good read for your stubbornly post-racial friend or outright racist relative? Especially one who already likes DL Hughley?

I am going to forgo rating non-fiction anti-racist books because I can't add anything new to the conversation and I certainly can't express myself as eloquently as the majority of the people rating books like these.

Social justice satire. Not easy but D.L. has done it! Only read if you have read books like The New Jim Crow and are on top of the news. Otherwise, you might think this book is actually just funny and not understand the satire and irony of it. Which would be horrible.

D.L. also breaks down a lot of complex racial and socioeconomic issues in a humorous way. Again, it’s written humorously but there’s a lot of truth and sincerity.

I do wish there were end note citations but I can Google.
