The World Record Book of Racist Stories

I haven't read these sisters' first book but I have enjoyed watching Amber's show and wanted to check this book out when it came onto my radar.

And I know this is funny. The whole book is satirical yes, but it is also the truth and it's just hilarious as well as despairing to read about the numerous big and small racist experiences these sisters, their families and friends have been through. It's a harsh reality that we may be able to process through making fun of it but the reality is still horrific. And the worst part is I'm sure they'll be able to write more books because looking at the way things are going, I don't see how they'll run out of racist stories to tell.

Great book to have a laugh at first glance but definitely leaves you with a lot to think about.

Not a memoir in the truest sense, but it is a collection of true stories (memories), most of which come from their own experiences and those of family members and friends. This made me laugh, wince, and shake my head at white people. I have been curious about Black peoples' hair but instead of burdening a Black person I remembered that Google is free.

I think I missed out on the bonus PDF images, but so glad to hear their singing and excellent delivery, also one of them laughed during a segment but I think that made it all the more authentic.

I laughed out loud when she said she could hear the woman's Karen haircut.
