Exposes the new generation of whiteness thriving at the expense and borrowed ingenuity of black people--and explores how this intensifies racial inequality.

American culture loves blackness. From music and fashion to activism and language, black culture constantly achieves worldwide influence. Yet, when it comes to who is allowed to thrive from black hipness, the pioneers are usually left behind as black aesthetics are converted into mainstream success--and white profit.

Weaving together narrative, scholarship, and critique, Lauren Michele Jackson reveals why cultural appropriation--something that's become embedded in our daily lives--deserves serious attention. It is a blueprint for taking wealth and power, and ultimately exacerbates the economic, political, and social inequity that persists in America. She unravels the racial contradictions lurking behind American culture as we know it--from shapeshifting celebrities and memes gone viral to brazen poets, loveable potheads, and faulty political leaders.

An audacious debut, White Negroes brilliantly summons a re-interrogation of Norman Mailer's infamous 1957 essay of a similar name. It also introduces a bold new voice in Jackson. Piercing, curious, and bursting with pop cultural touchstones, White Negroes is a dispatch in awe of black creativity everywhere and an urgent call for our thoughtful consumption.

Get it, you won't regret it!
Size: 2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This stuff is awesome. I've been battling a lot of sickness lately, and this stuff gives me energy and helps my immune system. The only downside is I'm still not sure how much to take. I'm up to 2 dropper fulls a day (I'm 250lb), but have no idea how much that really is. Warning Tip: Any time you open the bottle up, do it over a plate or paper towel. This stuff tends to get EVERYWHERE, even if the dropper is in the cup, and it stains like crazy. So keep a spray bottle of rubbing alcohol near by if it gets on your counter, the sooner you spray it with alcohol and scrub it, the less likely it'll stain permanently. But avoid doing this over white counters no matter how careful you are😅. I tried it over white counters once, and no matter how careful I was or how many paper towels I put down, tiny droplets still got in random places on the counter. I still got it out with rubbing alcohol.. eventually... but oh boy it was way harder to do, I had to scrub a TON. 🤣
