D.L. Hughley calls it like he sees it, discussing everything from dating to former president Barack Obama with sharp, thoughtful commentary
“The best book since The Hunger Games. First he was a King of Comedy; now he’s the king of comedy authors.”—Chris Rock
The American dream is in dire need of a wake-up call. A f*cked up society is like an addict: if you are in denial, then things are going to keep getting worse until you hit bottom. According to D. L. Hughley, that’s the direction in which America is headed.
In I Want You to Shut the F*ck Up, D.L. explains how we’ve become a nation of fat sissies playing Chicken Little, but in reverse: The sky is falling, but we’re supposed to act like everything’s fine. D.L. just points out the sobering facts: there is no standard of living by which we are the best. In terms of life expectancy, we’re 36th—tied with Cuba; in terms of literacy, we’re 20th—behind Kazakhstan.
Things are bad now and they’re only going to get worse. Unless, of course, you sit down, shut the f*ck up, and listen to what D. L. Hughley has to say. I Want You to Shut the F*ck Up is a slap to the political senses, a much needed ass-kicking of the American sense of entitlement. In these pages, D. L. Hughley calls it like he sees it, offering his hilarious yet insightful thoughts on:
• Our supposedly post-racial society
• The similarities between America the superpower and the drunk idiot at the bar
• Why apologizing is not the answer to controversy, especially when you meant what you said
• Why civil rights leaders are largely to blame for black people not being represented on television
• And more!
