Book cover of The White People Show: How To Understand Racism and Still Be Wrong About It

The White People Show is the missing piece in the ongoing dialogue about racism. It is both incisive and invasive, speaking plainly to Black readers in a digital age about the entrenched dishonesty that influences modern anti-racism. Unlike other titles, Kenyatta approaches racism from the intertwined perspectives of individual and systemic racism.

Kenyatta's work is appropriate for a broad audience of adult readers coming to the conversation from different backgrounds and experiences. Assuming no prior knowledge, The White People Show unpacks each topic in turn, ranging from the underlying causes of racism to whether there is a solution. Readers leave armed with the right terminology and key lessons sharpened by the author's unspoken vignettes.

Reviewers praise The White People Show, describing it as "corrective" in a crowded genre that's often dominated by the wrong voices. Instead of centering whiteness, Kenyatta joins Michelle Alexander, Ibram X Kendi, and other leaders in dismantling the trend of white coddling when it comes to discussing racism.

Although The White People Show may ruffle some feathers, it's uncomfortable in the way a book of this nature must be. It hammers home that true anti-racist advocacy is not posting on social media or buying a T-shirt-it is a commitment of the mind that requires steadfastness, participation and, above all, honesty.

The White People Show: How To Understand Racism and Still Be Wrong About It is available for purchase on Amazon.com or wherever books are sold.
