Hughley as a comedian and actor so I purchased based on that alone. This is the first book I've read of his and it was interesting. My first impression was corny, soft-pedaled satire. After listening to it, and taking note of the audience, I see why it was soft-pedaled. Despite that, the information was good and the message was brought across very well. I would recommend this book as straight satire with a chaser of reality mixed in. ( ) This book is Hughley's plan to get some racial peace and reconciliation in the U.S. Though getting white people to surrender their unjust privilege and "delusions of supremacy," he perseveres and presents a peace treaty on how it can be done. He combines a serious look at history, including a lot of history that does not make in the mainstream textbooks, and evidence with humor. Like his previous book, an easy and accessible read. Well worth reading. (Full review on my blog later) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

HTML: Surrender, white people! After 400 years of white supremacy in America, a reckoning is here. Time to listen up, look history in the face, and surrender unjust privilege. These are the terms of peaceâ??and they are unconditional. Hope you have a sense of humor, because this is gonna sting. The legendary activist/comedian and author of the "hilarious yet soul-shaking" (Black Enterprise) bestseller How Not to Get Shot returns to address a nation on the edge of civil war. After centuries of oppressing others, white people are in for a surprise: You're about to be a minority yourself. Yes, the face of America is getting a lot brownerâ??and a reckoning is coming. Black and brown folk are not going to take a back seat anymore. It's time to lay down your unjust privileges and sue for peace while the getting's still good. Lucky for America, D.L. Hughley has a plan. On the eve of America becoming a majority-minority nation, Hughley warns, the only way for America to move forward peacefully is if Whites face their history, put aside all their visions of superiority, and open up their institutions so they benefit everyone in this nation. But we can still have fun with this right? Surrender, White People! hilariously holds America account for its wrongs and offers his satirical terms for reparations and reconciliation. But it's not all bad news, white folks. The upside is that if you put D.L.'s plan into effect, you can FINALLY get black people to stop talking about oppression, discrimination, and their place in America.
