Last week I had the good fortune of going to see the play, "Angry Black White Boy," based on the Adam Mansbach novel of the same title at the Intersection of the Arts. If you are in the Bay Area, I strongly recommend you try and check it out. It is pay what you can on Thursdays.
It looks into the world of a young white man from the suburbs who becomes obsessed with black culture and overturning racism, only to find out that it in an effort to make whites pay for historical racism, he ends up caught in a self serving cycle. And watches the world around him collapse around his poorly thought out, yet bizarrely revolutionary, racial awareness.
It is excellent and if you are not in the Bay, pick up the book. That is what I am going to do.
