It's simple, racism is prejudice against anyone due to their race. Power is not involved. However, we really need to acknowledge that racism without power is like "They hurt my feelings..." while racism with power can destroy (or end) lives. There is a huge difference. Maybe we need a new word for racism with power... Also, power is not binary, but a continuum; the greater the power, the greater the danger. Unfortunately, right now, there is a lot of institutionalized racism with great power in the US. Sometimes it's disguised as patriotism, but upon closer inspection (such as Hughley provides) its core is revealed, and it's up to all of us to root out this nonsense. Unfortunately, I think this is going to be a never-ending battle...

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * A GOODREADS CHOICE AWARDS FINALIST "Hilarious yet soul-shaking." --Black Enterprise The fearless comedy legend--one of the "Original Kings of Comedy"--hilariously breaks down the wisdom of white people, advice that has been killing black folks in America for four hundred years and counting. 200 years ago, white people told black folks, "'I suggest you pick the cotton if you don't like getting whipped." Today, it's "comply with police orders if you don't want to get shot." Now comedian/activist D. L. Hughley-one the Original Kings of Comedy-confronts and remixes white people's "advice" in this "hilarious examination of the current state of race relations in the United States" (Publishers Weekly). In America, a black man is three times more likely to be killed in encounters with police than a white guy. If only he had complied with the cop, he might be alive today, pundits say in the aftermath of the latest shooting of an unarmed black man. Or, Maybe he shouldn't have worn that hoodie ... or, moved more slowly ... not been out so late ... Wait, why are black people allowed to drive, anyway? This isn't a new phenomenon. White people have been giving "advice" to black folks for as long as anyone can remember, telling them how to pick cotton, where to sit on a bus, what neighborhood to live in, when they can vote, and how to wear our pants. Despite centuries of whites' advice, it seems black people still aren't listening, and the results are tragic. Now, at last, activist, comedian, and New York Times bestselling author D. L. Hughley offers How Not to Get Shot, an illustrated how-to guide for black people, full of insight from white people, translated by one of the funniest black dudes on the planet. In these pages you will learn how to act, dress, speak, walk, and drive in the safest manner possible. You also will finally understand the white mind. It is a book that can save lives. Or at least laugh through the pain. Black people: Are you ready to not get shot! White people: Do you want to learn how to help the cause? Let's go!
