Publisher's Synopsis
Four people from very diverse backgrounds, upbringings and experiences happened to forge unique friendships that would enable them to discuss, dissect and build around topics of importance and value. During this time the climate was changing and moving at a fast pace due to a new emerging narrative on race and racism within the United States of America. Race had been a subject these four friends had discussed on many levels and it was from such a conversation that the idea of a book came: a book that would explore the complexities of race, culture, music, racism, white privilege, mass incarceration/modern day slavery and the actions of people such as Colin Kaepernick, who had been hailed a hero by some and vilified by others. In this book we explore how racism has played a huge part in the lives of black people for hundreds of years and how, sadly, the development of a nation has not produced an environment or mentality healthy enough for the eradication of the oppression of people of color.
