Summary

White people are in for a surprise: You're about to be a minority yourself. Black and brown folk are not going to take a back seat anymore. Hughley warns the only way for America to move forward peacefully is if Whites face their history, 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? Hughley offers his satirical terms for reparations and reconciliation. The good news? Once the plan is in effect, black people will stop talking about oppression, discrimination, and their place in America. Now, that's something we all can get behind. -- adapted from jacket
