Description

**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?”
