https://amzn.to/3c69GSt (Kindle) https://amzn.to/2ZzJr4l (Audiobook) https://amzn.to/3gihUKV (Hardcover) The fearless comedy legend and author of the “hilarious yet soul-shaking” (Black Enterprise) bestseller How Not to Get Shot returns with a plan to save the nation from civil war. Surrender, white people! After centuries of oppressing others, history has a surprise for you: You’re about to be a minority yourself. Yes, the face of America is getting a lot browner—and a reckoning is coming. Black and brown folk are not going to take a back seat anymore. It’s time to lay down your unjust privileges and sue for peace while the getting’s still good. Lucky for America, D.L. Hughley has a plan. Hope you have a sense of humor, because this is gonna sting. On the eve of America becoming a majority-minority nation, Hughley warns, the only way for America to move forward peacefully is if Whites stare their history in the face, put aside all their visions of superiority, and open up their institutions so they benefit everyone in this nation. But we can still have fun with this right? Surrender, White People! hilariously holds America account for its wrongs and offers his satirical terms for reparations and reconciliation. But it’s not all bad news, white folks. The upside is that if you put D.L.’s plan into effect, you can FINALLY get black people to stop talking about oppression, discrimination, and their place in America. That’s something we can get behind. Release: 7/7/20 #DLHughley #DougMoe #Humor #Topic #Cultural #Ethnic #Regional #Nonfiction #SurrenderWhitePeople

Morrison delivers an emotional rollercoaster of a tale of four very different friends chasing after their heart’s desires, no matter the cost . . . For Jordan, Victoria, Kingston, and Chancelor, exciting, fast-paced Atlanta offers everything their hometowns couldn’t. But career success is easy compared to the city’s dating scene of users, losers, and gold diggers. So they decide online dating might just be the answer—as long as they take precautions, work their perfect odds-beating plan, and have each other’s backs. With luck, and prayers, they’ll fulfill their fantasies and find real love at the same time . . . An accomplished lawyer, Jordan must look hard at potential suitors. But Terrence seems to be the honest man of her dreams, until accusations and her career threaten to come between them. . . . Sixty-something real estate pro Victoria thinks young men equal satisfaction that a good Christian woman like her deserves, but anything-goes sex makes her bet more than she can afford to lose. . . . Basketball star Kingston has the perfect life and wife, but exploring what he really wants on the downlow is a game he may not win. . . . And for marketing guru Chancelor, the net is a paradise of prey, but the consequences could blow more than his schemes apart. Soon enough, thanks to secret agendas, lies, and truths they can’t even admit to themselves, all four friends’ lives are in danger of being upended. And the results could rack up a price no one can pay.

https://amzn.to/3dbD8HW (Hardcover) Fifty years after he coined the iconic phrase “Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee,” Drew “Bundini” Brown remains one of boxing’s most mysterious and misunderstood figures. His impact on the sport and the culture at large is undeniable. Corner man and confidant to arguably the two greatest fighters ever, “Sugar” Ray Robinson and Muhammad Ali, Brown lived an extraordinary American life. After a poverty-stricken childhood in Jim Crow Florida, he came of age traveling the world as a naval steward. After his discharge, he settled in New York City and spent wild nights in the jazz Joints of Harlem, making a name for himself as the charismatic street philosopher and poet some called “Fast Black.” He later married a white woman from a family of Orthodox Jewish immigrants, in dramatic defiance of 1950s cultural norms, and also appeared in films such as the blaxploitation classic, Shaft. In Bundini: Don’t Believe The Hype, Todd Snyder digs deep into Brown’s entire story, revealing how he became Muhammad Ali’s so-called “hype man” and boxing’s greatest motivator, as well as how he would come to serve as the prototype for hype men that followed―notably Flavor Flav of Public Enemy, but also for any exceptional motivator in any arena.
