How to Be Black by Baratunde R. Thurston

5.0

This book should be required reading for anyone who is black, wants to be black, is unsure if they are black, knows at least one black person, thinks they know black people, or simply just has heard of black people. Baratunde spits the real so fast and funny that I sometimes had to gasp that someone had put the hard truth down in black and white without the paper burning up! I swear I am going to keep the book at my desk just to revisit the How to Be The Black Employee chapter and remind myself why I am really there! Good Lord, being black is a full-time job in itself. Please tell me if someone gives him money to make this into an instructional film!
