Your Black Friend by Ben Passmore
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
OK, not the easiest book for a white person to read, but a good one, just the same.
Your Black Friend is a short comic, not more than eleven pages, but filled with the thoughts of racism and having white people want to be taught about being black.
Although I am not black, I run into this with some people who want to know about lesbianism and Wiccan. As though I was an exhibit at the museam, and that I know how every lesbian is, and what all wiccans do.
This is that book, but for white people from a black person. Well written, short, and pointed. We are sometimes so clueless. We do not have a friend so we can educate them about ourselves. We do not have to prove that we are who we are, and there is racism.
Go out and buy this. Go out and read this, and see if you get a little bit more about what “Your black friend” goes through every day.
