The Book
Making Friends with Black People was published in March ’06.
The book is basically a collection of humorous essays on race
relations and popular culture in America. Reviews and sales
were strong, and I’m damn proud of it. I’m hard at work trying to
bring it to the small screen. You can read a sample chapter of the book here.
