“At a moment when America remains sharply divided along racial lines, this book demonstrates how and why race continues to matter by grounding firsthand accounts of racial hostility within the academic discourse on African American politics.”
Do You KNow That YOu Have Black Friends?
A Reeducation on Race for White Americans by Black Americans
“I have Black friends” is a common defense invoked by White Americans when accused of anti-Black racism or simple racial ignorance. The individuals who rely on this defense only use Blackness to exonerate themselves, but likely have no knowledge of the experiences imposed on Black people in a racialized system.
Do You Know that You Have Black Friends? facilitates a reeducation for White America by showing that race is not simply an identity category but a system that assigns lived experiences through institutions, culture, and public policy, with never-before-told stories of the Black experience.
