About this audiobook

Surrender, white people! After 400 years of white supremacy in America, a reckoning is here. Time to listen up, look history in the face, and surrender unjust privilege. These are the terms of peace–and they are unconditional. Hope you have a sense of humor, because this is gonna sting.

The legendary activist/comedian and author of the “hilarious yet soul-shaking” (Black Enterprise) bestseller How Not to Get Shot returns to address a nation on the edge of civil war.

After centuries of oppressing others, white people are in for a surprise: You’re about to be a minority yourself. Yes, the face of America is getting a lot browner—and a reckoning is coming. Black and brown folk are not going to take a back seat anymore. It’s time to lay down your unjust privileges and sue for peace while the getting’s still good. Lucky for America, D.L. Hughley has a plan.

On the eve of America becoming a majority-minority nation, 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?  Surrender, White People! hilariously holds America account for its wrongs and offers his satirical terms for reparations and reconciliation.

But it’s not all bad news, white folks. The upside is that if you put D.L.’s plan into effect, you can FINALLY get black people to stop talking about oppression, discrimination, and their place in America. That’s something we can get behind.

If they could not use racism as their excuse...then what would their next moan and cry be over...before you talk about another race, lets see how much black lives matter and see if you can stop the black on black killing...the real fact is blacks kill more of their own kind.

The negative comments on other views proves that they didn't read the book. Racist people hate the truth. When African American people stand up for justice in BLM racist people are intimated. Do the right thing KKK people who are racist and need to called a hate group. We African American people are taking a stand for equal justice in the America we helped to build. Where African American people inventor paved ways that ALL people use today. D.L is speaking facts and you can not digest truth✊🏾❤
