Book: Making Friends With Black People Standup comedian Adams offers a hip, hilarious, and raw take on white folks' struggle with all things African American--from that wannabe Eminem to those annoying White Suburban Youth who call their friends "homies."
Sure, black men and women have been through four hundred years of slavery, oppression, murder, and watching white students try to dance, but now that it's hip to have black friends, white people aren't sure how to go about it. And that is a real American tragedy. Thank God Nick Adams is here to help you avoid racial pitfalls and successfully make the transition from white to "aiight." Now you'll know not to start a conversation with "So that new Jay-Z album is pretty great, right?" Or tell a co-worker he looks like (fill in blank with name of dark skinned person who works in the other building). You'll know that a lot of black people you meet at parties or work function don't care who played Thelma's husband on "Good Times," don't want to discuss the Malcolm X biography you just read and definitely don't want to listen to country music. Ever. Yes, it's a good thing Nick is here to explain, because if we're going to live together in peace and harmony, you people are going to need help.
