Michelle Tamiko Hardy 3 Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 There was this book called something like Things White People Do. I just happened to pick it up because of the title & it was funny. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cynique 2,308 Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 If it doesn't matter that he is neither black nor a new writer, "Go the F**k to Sleep" by Adam Mansbach is a light, funny best seller. I haven't come across many black writers who are into light humor or wry satire. They seem to lean more toward broad comedy and heavy drama lest they be accused of being too "sophisticated". Stanley Crouch might be an exception. Anybody else come to mind??? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Troy 2,777 Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 Check out Baratunde Thurston's lastest book. It does not com out until next month. I have not read it, but everything else I read or seen this guy produce has been pretty funny: His speak on Twitter was technically correct and very funny -- a rare skill.
