Publisher's summary

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Passionately read by the author, Emmanuel Acho.

An urgent primer on race and racism, from Emmanuel Acho, an American Football Legend and host of the viral hit video series
Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man.

In Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man, Acho takes on all the questions, large and small, insensitive and taboo, many white people are afraid to ask – yet which everyone needs the answers to, now more than ever. With the same open-hearted generosity that has made his video series of the same name a phenomenon, Acho explains the vital core of such fraught concepts as white privilege, cultural appropriation and ‘reverse racism’.

In his own words, he provides a space of compassion and understanding in a discussion that can lack both. He asks only for the reader’s curiosity – but along the way, he will galvanize all of us to join the anti-racist fight.

A bit disappointed

I really enjoyed Emmanuel's stories and episodes on Instagram and Youtube. Thus, my expectations for this books were sky-high. Unfortunately, I found the book to be a bit superficial...it treated the subjects of the book very lightly and fast. I was really expecting a deep-dive based on the very nice content Emmanuel has provided on social media, but I found a general repeat of the same messages. What shocked me was how lightly black culture was treated. I was really expecting to find out more about the wonderful contributions black people have made to the world, yet I was told a couple of stories about hair and 'sagging' which really let me wanting. Not to mention about the fact that 1/3 of the book is about how the book came to life.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
