How to Be Less Stupid About Race
On Racism, White Supremacy, and the Racial Divide
By: Crystal Marie Fleming
Narrated by: Melanie Taylor
Length: 7 hrs and 44 mins
Release date: 09-18-18
A unique and irreverent take on everything that’s wrong with our “national conversation about race” - and what to do about it
How to Be Less Stupid About Race is your essential guide to breaking through the half truths and ridiculous misconceptions that have thoroughly corrupted the way race is represented in the classroom, pop culture, media, and politics. Centuries after our nation was founded on genocide, settler colonialism, and slavery, many Americans are kinda-sorta-maybe waking up to the reality that our racial politics are (still) garbage. But in the midst of this reckoning, widespread denial and misunderstandings about race persist, even as white supremacy and racial injustice are more visible than ever before.
Combining no-holds-barred social critique, humorous personal anecdotes, and analysis of the latest interdisciplinary scholarship on systemic racism, sociologist Crystal M. Fleming provides a fresh, accessible, and irreverent take on everything that’s wrong with our “national conversation about race.” Drawing upon critical race theory, as well as her own experiences as a queer Black millennial college professor and researcher, Fleming unveils how systemic racism exposes us all to racial ignorance - and provides a road map for transforming our knowledge into concrete social change. Searing, sobering, and urgently needed, How to Be Less Stupid About Race is a truth bomb for your racist relative, friend, or boss and a call to action for everyone who wants to challenge white supremacy and intersectional oppression. If you like Issa Rae, Justin Simien, Angela Davis, and Morgan Jerkins, then this deeply relevant, bold, and incisive book is for you.

Critic Reviews
“Fleming offers a crash course in what will be a radically new perspective for most and a provocative challenge that should inspire those who disagree with her to at least consider their basic preconceptions…. A deft, angry analysis for angry times.” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review)
“Dr. Fleming offers a straight-no-chaser critique of our collective complicit ignorance regarding the state of race in the United States. In particular, she calls out the lack of resolve, especially among the political class, to admit and address the generational damage caused by institutional racism. This book will leave you thinking, offended, and transformed.” (Nina Turner, former Ohio state senator)
[A]n insightful and irreverent text…her work is truly accessible; she breaks down complex concepts and constructs arguments effectively in jocular, witty prose. This analysis of today’s complex sociopolitical climate would be a great starting point for anyone looking to question preconceived mainstream notions about race.” (Publishers Weekly)

Easy, stop watching Fux and give up your cult in the terrorist organization Republican party.

Another book from a navel-gazing clown trying to sow racial division? Whoo-hoo! That can go right next to the ten thousand of these books that nobody sane will ever read.
August 20th, 2021
How to be Less Stupid on the Left….
Now that is a book worth printing rather than this divisive drivel.

97% of terrorists are democrats.. Just ask Barrackee

Lol.
“How did this happen?”
*shuffles cards*
“We relabeled every organization on the face of the earth as ‘far right’!”
That’ll make it real, honest.
Oh and BLM and Antifa? The people who murder, rape and burn down cities? We pretend they’re not terrorists too. Lol and lol again.
There’s none more delusional than a modern day leftist.
August 20th, 2021
@GordonCoon give us a list of all the organization’s you think have falsely been labelled as far right. Give us a laugh and tell us how the KKK, Qanon, incels, white supremacists and neo nazis who supported Trump and took part in the Unite The Right rallies are actually lefties.

Here’s a spoiler - there’s a link between race and intelligence, that’s why so many Jews win Nobel prizes and other people do less well.
August 20th, 2021
@iraqois
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_and_intelligence
Nobel prize winners are far more likely to be from similar socioeconomic backgrounds than to share genetic traits. The link between race and intelligence is one of flimsy correlation, and doesn’t tell anywhere near the whole story.
August 20th, 2021
This lost me at “critical race theory”. I’ve never “owned” anyone and neither has any of my family members as far back as I can research, so…sorry, not sorry I don’t feel the “white guilt” that is being pushed by the race-baiters. Be a good person, treat everyone with the same respect you think you deserve. Oh, and don’t listen to the drivel being spewed by virtual-signal experts like the author and @Jack_Milad…you’ll be fine.
August 20th, 2021
Lol. Ah yes, the “far-right” of men who can’t get laid. When I studied politics at school, they skipped the lesson that defined not having sex and being peeved about it as “far-right”, that’s because you made it up, Jack. Literally, made it up.
You do make me laugh Jack, but always at you, sadly, never with you.
August 20th, 2021
Ah yes, those diverse Nobel Prizes…
https://www.usnews.com/news/best-countries/articles/2020-10-01/the-nobel-prizes-have-a-diversity-problem-worse-than-the-scientific-fields-they-honor
The number of world-class black scientists? 0. The number of women? 3.
What do the other winners have in common? Hint. It’s being not black and not women. Lol again.
You see, science is an objective discipline, so you can’t pretend that defining math as “white oppression” shows a world-class level of intelligence.
August 20th, 2021
@grond2 Maybe you DO need to learn some critical race theory. Because if you think it’s all to do with targeting you for what other people have done, you’ve drastically misunderstood the entire concept. It’s more acknowledgement that “hey, 60 years ago we allowed people to say ‘you can’t live in this nice neighbourhood or have a job that pays decent, because you’re black’ resulted in more recent generations disproportionately being at a disadvantage as a result of that.
@GordonCoon It’s amazing you failed to realise that the article you shared also points out how flawed the concept of measuring how smart an entire race is based on who wins an award is, and calls into question that the method of awarding Nobel Prizes may be flawed. Hell, you even likely agree. Unless you’re sure Obama was the best possible candidate for that 2009 Nobel Peace Prize?
August 20th, 2021
@Jack, you’re right, we don’t measure how smart a race is with Nobel Prizes, we do it with IQ tests.
Do you want to look that data up for yourself? Lol. And more lol.

the left has mass murdered hundreds of millions, the best thing for everyone to do is to reject their evil demonic ideology and like MLK said focus on the content of our characters not our skin. Its like listening to insane marxists on the deck of the titanic as its sinking into the water

Predictably, the usual suspects were triggered by this title and proceed to illustrate its thesis,
showing how entrenched stupidity about race is.
August 21st, 2021
Predictably, “Gweilo” the racist has turned up to pontificate but never debate because you can’t argue with facts and there are none supporting the “white devil’s” argument, as always.
August 21st, 2021
How to Be Less Stupid About Race? Well, just open your eyes, recognize what a 1 year-old notices: we are different, so races do exist and it is great to love yourself as part of that race.
August 22nd, 2021
@pjgnxhqxlrzuqffhxt: This book isn’t about how to love your own race more. I think you have that handled. It’s about those who hate other races.
@Gordon: the “fact” is, you’re a white supremacist. You present evidence to that effect, so nothing to argue about.
August 22nd, 2021
> Predictably, the usual suspects were triggered by this title and proceed to illustrate its thesis, showing how entrenched stupidity about race is.
Or maybe they just know something the “progressives” pretend not to (that this whole race-baiting thing is a sham of epic proportions, which would make Goebbels himself proud).
August 22nd, 2021
Lol. Bless, Gweilo, the racist is projecting again.
That he’s an anti-white supremacist while being white is the kind of contradiction that used to cause cognitive dissonance, now it involves thinking that there’s racism under every rock, instead.
It must really suck to be that stupid.
August 23rd, 2021
@Gordon: “anti-white supremacist while being white is the kind of contradiction”
It not a contradiction, any more then being a German who is anti-Nazi.
And there isn’t “racism under every rock”. The racists have come out from under their rocks and are loud and proud. e.g.: your posts above.

@Gweilo
You know as well as I do that this site is becoming overrun with fascists. Not “people who have a different opinion”, but actual, “Jewish conspiracy”, eugenics-supporting, homophobic, KKK-loving, bootlicking little Adolfs. The only reason I’m glad they’re here is it hopefully means they’re not out shooting up a school or somewhere that women are.
This time, I’m not asking you to ban them. I’m asking you do dox them. I think their neighbours and employers (employers! LOL!) would be very interested.
August 25th, 2021
@GordonCoon
I think you’re the truest little Nazi on the site. Apollo60 just froths at the mouth incoherently, and LeadingNorth just isn’t the same since he was outed as a paedophile. It’s just you.
I’m going to find out who you are and send the boys round. Sleep tight.
August 26th, 2021
@tenbenson: Please don’t descend to abuse and threats. Don’t waste time or emotion on them. If you feel compelled to, refute them briefly and move on. This not a debating site; it’s simply for sharing audiobooks.
September 2nd, 2021
What’s so entertaining and doubly sad… Is that you all are **here** trolling one another.
Is this the only place anyone will respond?
Lol
