Funny
Stories About White Privilege and Black Identity from a Black Nerd's
PerspectiveAuthor and Ebony Magazine
podcaster Ron Dawson lends his wit and comical social commentary to tell the
story of how one of the "whitest" and nerdiest of black men finally woke up,
found his blackness, and lost all inhibitions at dropping the f-bomb.
A
coming-of-age story of black identity. In the suburbs of Atlanta, Ron
was a black nerd (aka "blerd") living very comfortably in his white world. He
loved his white wife, worked well with his white workmates, and worshiped at a
white church. On November 8, 2016, everything changed when Trump became POTUS.
Ron began a journey of self-discovery that made him question everything-from
faith to friendships.
Part social commentary and
part fantastical narrative. This book goes where no blerd has gone
before. In a psychedelic way, Ron is guided by a guardian "angel" in the guise
of Samuel L. Jackson's character from Pulp
Fiction. Sam is there to help Ron, well, be more black.
Ron confronts his black "sins" and wrestles with black identity, systemic
racism, and what it means to be "black" in
America.
Throughout this book, you'll learn lessons
from a man who deconstructs his faith and confronts personal demons of racial
identity. Gain new perspectives through these funny stories that will reshape
your current views on black identity.
Inside, you'll
find:
The funniest social commentary on
white privilege and black identity
Political satire wrapped
in funny stories of a man's journey to confront the systemic racism and
Christian hypocrisy around him
Comical if not uncomfortable
conversations about what it means to be black in
America
