Yes yes yes. I would like this to be required reading for everyone please. I knew Baratunde Thurston was hilarious but this is just... SUCH deft humor + history + anger + theory... really perfect handling of race in America which is basically impossible to discuss anymore. I loved the commentary from The Black Panel (including a token white guy [the guy behind Stuff White People Like, in fact]), too. Bonus: since I've read this and [b:How to Be a Woman 10600242 How to Be a Woman Caitlin Moran http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1327903507s/10600242.jpg 15507935], I am now qualified to be Oprah.Oh and PS this book is $3 for Kindle right now, TOTALLY WORTH IT. Or inquire at ~your local library~
