Synopsis

Surrender, white people! After 400 years of white supremacy in America, a reckoning is here. Time to listen up, look history in the face, and surrender unjust privilege. These are the terms of peace–and they are unconditional. Hope you have a sense of humor, because this is gonna sting.The legendary activist/comedian and author of the “hilarious yet soul-shaking” (Black Enterprise) bestseller How Not to Get Shot returns to address a nation on the edge of civil war.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 lay down 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 his 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. That’s something we can get behind.

And interesting and funny perspective! This is definitely more along the lines of 3.5 stars Earlier this year I picked up D.L. Hughley's book How Not To Get Shot which I found so funny and insightful to the experiences that I had with White people attempting to address my Black experience in America.......more

4.5 stars!!! Idk which of D.L. Hughley's books I like more, but I loved how much D.L. goes into the history of racism in America here.

Goodreads review by Deep on November 04, 2020

I knew when I picked this book up there would be more comedy than seriousness. Overall, there was a decent balance of facts and silliness. My poor rating is not based on the content or the suggestions. It was the language that bothered me. Innumerable uses of the s-word, f-word, and n-word. I do hav......more

Goodreads review by Scott on August 28, 2020

White people have literally gone batshit crazy in this country. Granted, it’s not completely their fault. Part of it is genetics: white people have simply evolved to think that they are entitled to everything, from better housing to better education to better jobs. Part of it is their history: Few n......more

Goodreads review by Eric on January 06, 2021

A somewhat obnoxious rant advocating racial reparations. While Hughley gives us all the problems associated with carrying out the scheme, he does it in such a way that I fear nobody ought to take him very seriously. And if we do we are likely all quite doomed.......more
