STUPID BLACK MEN How to Play the Race Card--and Lose

Talk-radio host and author Larry Elder assumes the role of narrator for his latest book, which tackles the idea being perpetuated by the media that African-Americans are being held down by "the man." Elder offers a compelling case for his reasoning, naming celebrities and politicians alike who are hurting themselves and their race by what they choose to say on television. Elder is solid and entertaining, not just because he tackles his topic in a hard-hitting manner, but also because he makes listeners truly understand his position on race relations. Whether one agrees or not, Elder puts himself on the table to further the debate over race and, in doing so, captures our attention with his firm tone.
