About this item

From the host of Comedy Central's The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore comes the first paperback reprint of his funny and provocative musings on race in America and other topics.I'd Rather We Got Casinos And Other Black Thoughts shares Wilmore's hilarious, eye-opening opinions on controversial topics. Through various literary forms such as op-ed pieces, epistolary entries, and long-lost transcripts, he tackles the mundane and the taboo, including: why black weathermen make him feel happy (or sad); why brothas don't see UFOs; angry black church guides; and his frustration with Black History Month--after all, can twenty-eight days of trivia really make up for centuries of oppression?
