How to Be Black by Baratunde R. Thurston
3.0
This book is a strange non-fiction melange of auto-bio, memoir, humor, and contemporary social issues.
It's funny in the same dry way you would expect for someone who writes for The Onion. I also thought the inclusion of his black panel was pretty funny but it was infrequently used.
I thought it got a little too preachy towards the end. It was an interesting discussion on 'racial policing', but there was too little of the memoir, and the final chapter too light on humor.
