How Not to Get Shot: And Other Advice From White People by D.L. Hughley, Doug Moe

4.0

Audio is the way to go here. I sometimes have a hard time getting satire, but that's not true at all when every word is read by the author and drips with humor and sarcasm. I laughed out loud several times, and I appreciated Hughley's callbacks to previous jokes he'd made. Especially the stuff about "not fitting the profile" and making sure your neighbors know who you are, and a whole extended bit about how black people should get rescue dogs that use doggy wheelchairs so white people will think, "oh I know that black guy, that's my neighbor with his sad dog."

I could have used less Trump stuff (this is an evergreen opinion), but that was the time in which "How Not to Get Shot" was written.

Regardless, it is still timely and relevant, and Hughley made some really interesting points re: black people not being able to forget about race and its traumatic history, and the idea of the "race card."
