Description
It's here: the book that shows you how to talk about race without talking about race. Satirical observations on identity, judgment, and assumptions and unconscious bias. Nappy-Headed Negro Syndrome is a humorous view of contemporary American urban reality from the unique perspective of a Detroit newspaper columnist and copy editor-turned-cab driver--and after the laughter comes the weeping. For example, Oneita is at a party having a polite conversation with a stranger who thinks Oneita said, 'I'm a nigger' instead of 'l'm a knitter.' Oneita is a master at handling awkward situations and Nappy-Headed Negro Syndrome is a handbook to etiquette in the racially charged 21st Century.
