"Hughley uses his trademark humor to address the stark divisions in society that stem from centuries of white supremacy." —People
Surrender, white people! After 400 years of white supremacy in America, a reckoning is here. These are the terms of peace–and they are unconditional. Hope you brought a sense of humor, because this is gonna sting.
After centuries of oppressing others, white people are in for a surprise: You're about to be a minority yourself. Yes, the face of America is getting a lot browner—and a reckoning is coming. Black and brown folk are not going to take a back seat anymore. It's time to surrender your unjust privileges and sue for peace while the getting's still good. Lucky for America, D.L. Hughley has a plan.
On the eve of America becoming a majority-minority nation, Hughley warns, the only way for America to move forward peacefully is if Whites face their history, put aside all their visions of superiority, and open up their institutions so they benefit everyone in this nation. But we can still have fun with this right?
Surrender, White People! hilariously holds America account for its wrongs and offers D.L.'s satirical terms for reparations and reconciliation.
But it's not all bad news, white folks. The upside is that if you put D.L.'s plan into effect, you can FINALLY get black people to stop talking about oppression, discrimination, and their place in America. Now, that's something we ALL can get behind.

That said, I find this book much more interesting
"How Not to Get Shot: And Other Advice From White People"

DL Hughley has been hilarious on Daily Show recently, and he's been more productively funny than most comedians ever will be. The man paid for his entire family to go to college, before screaming at the internet about how evil he is, maybe read some of the book and get an informed opinion first.

Not too bad for someone who's "oppressed".
Personally I LOVE humor that pokes fun at the different perceptions of reality. However, if someone WERE to make a joke about black people...or hispanics...or Jews in the same manner...I wonder how it would be received.
Actually I don't wonder, I KNOW how it's received, and it's a shame that people can't laugh at ourselves more.
Just imagine if a show like All in the Family were to be proposed today. It's a classic of comedy, but it would never make it past the pitch meeting.

Stopped reading there. Having said that the book is appropriately priced, 50% less than a comic book.

If you can't tell the difference between mocking the power structure of the US and white people specifically, that's a tacit agreement that Hughley's premise is correct.

But Hughley (and many other black comedians) making the entire "white race" a punchline is A-OK?
Have you watched any of his comedy? He's funny, no doubt about it...I laugh every time...but he's also a racist.

As expected, it is filled with anecdotal examples of how all white people are racist. The author brings up two situations, one in which he walked up to the front of the line at a hotel and someone in line told him, rudely in their opinion, that there was a line; and another where some guy tried to board before him on an airplane because they were a first class passenger and thought they got to go "first".
Now in either of these situations, most people would just assume that the other person was either making a mistake or possibly just an asshole. I've been in many a line where people, of any race, either ignorantly or purposely try to cut in front. People will often call them out on that, whether right or wrong. I've also been in many situations in airports where there is confusion as to who boards first. Every airline does it differently. Key & Peele even did a skit on it, where some guy with a first class ticket thinks he boards first only to find out that literally everyone else in the terminal had some higher priority level than he did (they obviously took it to a comic extreme, but the point still stands).
But, as the book clearly shows, since these two altercations involved a white "perpetrator" and a black "victim", that it was inherently racist-- because there couldn't possibly be any other possible reason. If a white person calls out a white person for seemingly cutting in line, they're an asshole, but if the white person calls out a black person for the same thing, they're a racist asshole. If a white person goes to the front of the boarding line at an airport because they think they board first as a first class ticket holder, they're either confused or rude. If they do it in front of a minority, they are an entitled racist privileged jerk.
Sure, there are obviously going to be situations where there are racist people who do racist things. But that doesn't mean that is always the reason or even a factor in what happened. But if everyone always feels the need to claim racism any time that they are offended by something another person does just because of THEIR skin color, that is inherently racist as well. But I guess that type of thinking wouldn't help with book sales, now would it?
