Funny Stories About White Privilege and Black Identity from a Black
Nerd's PerspectiveAuthor and Ebony Magazine podcaster Ron Dawson
lends his wit and comical social commentary to tell the story of
how one of the "whitest" and nerdiest of black men finally woke up,
found his blackness, and lost all inhibitions at dropping the
f-bomb. A coming-of-age story of black identity. In the suburbs of
Atlanta, Ron was a black nerd (aka "blerd") living very comfortably
in his white world. He loved his white wife, worked well with his
white workmates, and worshiped at a white church. On November 8,
2016, everything changed when Trump became POTUS. Ron began a
journey of self-discovery that made him question everything-from
faith to friendships. Part social commentary and part fantastical
narrative. This book goes where no blerd has gone before. In a
psychedelic way, Ron is guided by a guardian "angel" in the guise
of Samuel L. Jackson's character from Pulp Fiction. Sam is there to
help Ron, well, be more black. Ron confronts his black "sins" and
wrestles with black identity, systemic racism, and what it means to
be "black" in America. Uncomfortable conversations. Throughout this
book, you'll learn lessons from a man who deconstructs his faith
and confronts personal demons of racial identity. Gain new
perspectives through these funny stories that will reshape your
current views on black identity. Inside, you'll find: The funniest
social commentary on white privilege and black identity Political
