My current book is BARACK LIKE ME: The Chocolate Covered Truth written with comedian David Alan Grier.
Here’s what the catalogue copy says, and you know that catalogue copy never lies, especially when I wrote it:
Acclaimed comedian (“In Living Color”), award-winning actor (“Streamers”) and fake news pundit and TV host of Comedy Central’s dearly departed Chocolate News, David Alan Grier expounds on politics, culture, and race while recounting his own life story in this edgy, hilarious, timely, and timeless look at America—B.B. and A.B., Before and After Barack.
It’s a new America and voices all over the media proclaim, “Black is in.”
“As long as you’re black like Barack and not black like Mike Tyson,” suggests David Alan Grier.
Intertwining his personal journey from growing up in Detroit where he marched as a ten-year-old with Dr. Martin Luther King to attending the Inauguration of President Barack Obama where he stood stuck behind a tree and saw nothing, David Alan Grier examines how America has changed for the better and the funnier.
With tongue-in-cheek, doused liberally with acid, DAG will help you choose the right race if you’re of mixed race, elaborate on the proper etiquette when it comes to the biracial lesbian lady-man next door, explain the “Magical Negro,” and bring you behind the scenes of “Dancing with the Stars,” where he danced his heart out, got voted off on week four, told the judges to “kiss my ass, “and, shockingly, after this infamous flameout, found his face all over the Internet. Early readers (me, DAG, and our editor) have called the book funny, brilliant, and original.
Enjoy!
