About this listen
A definitive guide to calling out racial stereotypes and understanding the meaning behind them.
Clapback: [Noun / Verb] Responding to a (often ignorant) notion with a withering comeback; with the aim of shutting. it. down.
In order to have an honest and open conversation about race, we need to identify areas where things are not right.
The Clapback: How to Call Out Harmful Black Stereotypes examines the evolution of the negative stereotypes towards the black community and arms you with the tools to shut them down once and for all. Taking listeners on a journey through history, and providing facts and detailed research, this is an eye-opening and refreshing look at race and language.
With a light-hearted, razor sharp wit and a refreshing honesty, The Clapback is the handbook the world needs - dishing out the hard truths and providing a road map for bringing some 'act right' into our everyday lives.
It's time to Clapback.

Definitely worth reading and reflecting on your own bias, I feel like I have a better insight into the challenges the B.A.M.E community face daily. This book has been an eye opener and left me wanting to learn more.
A Must Read!!

Apart from that, there is a phenomenal lack of credible sources - I’m so sorry but tv, film and music are great for providing an understanding of personal experiences of prejudice but they will really only take you so far in understanding systemic racism and are not sufficient for those who want reliable sources for further exploration of what race means in today’s world.
My impression is, a charming, wealthy, black lawyer boy was asked about race and then he thought ‘yeah, I spent enough dealing with white folk!’ And felt able to write a book on his thoughts (which are totally valid) despite not really understanding race himself beyond his own privileged UK, black lawyer boy experiences. 😕
There are many better books on race, racism and even ‘clapping back’ out there than this. I actually blame the publishers - Please do better by Black people and stop publishing _anythjng_ on racism just because. Pay attention!
Good understanding of race but poor expose of racism
