I was reading this book while watching my kid at the playground, and it was hard to explain why I was chuckling to the white parents around me.

This is written fucking funny, but it all stops being funny when you comprehend that it’s true. Hello fellow whites - I recommend you read this. It’s gonna hurt and we deserve it.
I don't know how to review this book. It's important on so many levels, but most readers will never understand why.

I listened to the audiobook, which was read by the author. This was great satire that exposed the flaw in the logic you often hear from white commentators after the death of a person of color at the hands of a police officer. Hughley takes real quotes and shows how wrong they are when you look at the facts of what is happening. He also discusses other issues involving racism in America. It is delivered like his stand up routine so be ready for harsh language (he uses the "F" word and "N" words liberally). It is a great read/listen for white people to see the issues from a different perspective. Unfortunately, I am afraid he is preaching to the choir. Those that need to hear his message probably aren't the ones choosing this book. On the other hand, it does give me some tools and facts to use that I can use to be a better ally.
This book was an excellent and funny way to talk about racism and racist behavior in a white supremacy culture. DL Hughley did an excellent job of highlighting all of the subtle differences that occur based on race.
White peoole should read this book it is an excellent way to start the conversation around race and really looking at it head on.

This book is hilarious at times, and then it just punches you in the gut. I had to read several pargraphs twice because they hit HARD.
