Nick Adams should definitely do another book along these lines and he's find a fan as well as another cynic to cheer him on . ( ) Do you work and/or live in a multi-cultural environment and find that some of your well-meaning white colleagues would like to become your friend? At the same time, do you find yourself having to explain to these same folk for the umpteenth time why Eminem is not the greatest emcee ever in the history of hip-hop? Do you find yourself having to fend off awkward soul-brother handshakes? Are you embarrassed when they use some played-out street talk in order to win your friendship? My friends, in both business and academia: Your time is valuable. What if, instead of spending a lot of time and effort explaining why these actions are inappropriate, to each and every white liberal that come your way, you could just hand them a manual? A primer, as it were, in the history of American race relations. What if this were available for only around ten dollars at Amazon? Perhaps even less, factoring in an academic discount? Or maybe, if you are pestered by really a lot of white people, perhaps a quantity discount would be available! Yes, it is here, it is real, and it is funny as hell. It is entitled 'Making Friends With Black People', by Nick Adams. Yet, while it is funny as hell, it is also dead serious underneath all that. It is here: http://tinyurl.com/omlsc And you can read excerpts here: http://www.kensingtonbooks.com/kensington/finditem.cfm?itemid=9355 My favorite comment: Nick Adams on Tom Brokaw and the 'Greatest Generation': They wouldn't share a water fountain with me and they're the 'greatest generation'?

A hip, hilarious and raw take on white folks' struggle with all things black - from the wannabe Eminem to the annoying white suburban youths who call their friends 'homies' and ride around in baggy pants. After 400 years of slavery, oppression, murder and watching white students try to dance, it has suddenly become hip to have black friends. And white folk just don't know how to do it. Thankfully, Nick Adams is here to show 'em how. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
