A REVIEW
“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.”
- Dr. Emmitt Riley III
Do You KNow That YOu Have Black Friends?
A Reeducation on Race for White Americans by Black Americans
For generations, “I have Black friends” has been offered as proof of racial innocence. But proximity to Black people does not automatically produce understanding of Black experiences. 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.
