From the host of Comedy Central's newest program, The Nightly Show
with Larry Wilmore, comes the first paperback reprint of his funny and
provocative musings on race in America and other nightly topics--updated
with new material for this edition. Now boasting three new chapters
and an introduction exclusive the trade paperback edition, I'd Rather
We Got Casinos And Other Black Thoughts by Larry Wilmore gives
Wilmore's on-screen character of the same name a place to voice his
opinions on controversial topics in a way that anyone can find amusing .
. . and eye-opening. Exploring various literary forms such as op-ed
pieces, epistolary entries, graduation speeches, and long-lost
transcripts, the result is a collection that the expanded audience from
his successful Comedy Central program will enjoy, including: why black
weathermen make him feel happy (or sad); why brothas don't see UFOs;
letters to the NAACP; and more, including his frustration with Black
History Month -- after all, can twenty-eight days of trivia really make
up for centuries of oppression?"
