non-fiction, humor
I was almost embarrassed reading How Not To Get Shot: And Other Advice from White People- not embarrassed by the book, but simply due the fact that it was necessary to write it. Geez this stuff should not still be going on and the fact that Hughley and Moe can look at it through a lens of humor just shows how much better they are at being humans than I am. Overall, this book gives new meaning to the phrase, "it's funny because it's true" but it is heartbreaking in its humor.
Honestly, the people who need to read this book and have their eyes opened to the injustice that goes on around them, particularly when it comes to interactions between police and people of color, are never going to read it. But Hughley can preach to this choir anytime.
