Why White Kids Love Hip Hop: Wankstas, Wiggers, Wannabes, and the New Reality of Race in America Paperback - 2006

by Bakari Kitwana

Kitwana addresses uncomfortable truths about America's level of comfort with black people, challenging preconceived notions of race. With this brave tour de force, Kitwana takes his place alongside the greatest African-American intellectuals of the past decades.


First line

A little over a year ago, Bill O' Reilly, the conservative talk show host who does more than anyone else to keep hip-hop in the news, had American Idol host Simon Cowell as a guest on his show, the O'Reilly Factor.
