| Summary, etc.: | In an era in which "I have many black friends" is often a medal of wokeness, Ben hilariously chronicles the experience of being on the receiving end of those fist bumps. He takes us through his immigrant childhood, from wanting nothing more than friends to sit with at lunch, to his awkward teenage years, to college in the age of Obama, and on to adulthood during the Trump administration--two sides of the same American coin. Ben takes his role as your new Black friend seriously, providing original and borrowed wisdom on stereotypes, slurs, the whole "swimming thing," how much Beyoncé is too much Beyoncé, Black Girl Magic, the rise of the Karens, affirmative action, the Black Lives Matter movement, and other conversations you might want to have with your new BBFF. Sure, I'll Be Your Black Friend is a conversational take on topics both light and heavy, universal, and deeply personal that reveal incisive truths about the need for connection in all of us. -- From dust jacket. |
