Editorial Reviews

Review

“A satirical but apt addition to the culture’s fraught conversation about race.” — New York Times Book Review, “New & Noteworthy”

“In his hilarious yet soul-shaking truth-telling book, Hughley touches on politics, race, and life as a black American as only he can.” — Black Enterprise, A “MUST-READ BOOK FOR 2019”

“Hilarious. … It might be the most important book you buy this year.” — Philadelphia Tribune

“Hughley pulls no punches in this caustic, maddening, and hilarious examination of the current state of race relations in the United States.” — Publishers Weekly

“A biting satire about racism. ... A sharp-tongued truth-teller.” — Huffington Post

“Legendary comedian DL Hughley’s provocative commentary on race and police brutality.” — GQ

From the Back Cover

The FEARLESS comedy legend—one of the “Original Kings of Comedy”—hilariously BREAKS DOWN the wisdom of white people, advice that has been killing black folks in America for four hundred years and counting

In America, a black man is three times more likely to be killed in encounters with police than a white guy. If only he had complied with the cop, he might be alive today, pundits say in the aftermath of the latest shooting of an unarmed black man. Or, Maybe he shouldn’t have worn that hoodie … or, moved more slowly … not been out so late … Wait, why are black people allowed to drive, anyway? With so much heartfelt guidance flying around, it seems there’s been a failure to communicate.

This isn’t a new phenomenon. White people have been giving “advice” for as long as anyone can remember. They’ve been fucking with black folks for about as long, telling them how to pick cotton, where to sit on a bus, what neighborhood to live in, when they can vote, and how to wear our pants. Despite centuries of whites’ advice, it seems black people still aren’t listening, and the results are tragic.

Now, at last, activist-comedian D. L. Hughley offers How Not to Get Shot, an illustrated how-to guide for black people, full of insight from white people, translated by one of the funniest black dudes on the planet. In these pages you will learn how to act, dress, speak, walk, and drive in the safest manner possible. You also will finally understand the white mind. It is a book that can save lives. Or at least laugh through the pain.

Are you ready to not get shot? Let’s go!
