Surrender, White People!: Our Unconditional Terms for Peace

Written by D. L. Hughley and Doug Moe

Narrated by D. L. Hughley

Surrender, white people! After 400 years of white supremacy in America, a reckoning is here. Time to listen up, look history in the face, and surrender unjust privilege. These are the terms of peace–and they are unconditional. Hope you have a sense of humor, because this is gonna sting.

The legendary activist/comedian and author of the “hilarious yet soul-shaking” (Black Enterprise) bestseller How Not to Get Shot returns to address a nation on the edge of civil war.

After centuries of oppressing others, white people are in for a surprise: You’re about to be a minority yourself. Yes, the face of America is getting a lot browner—and a reckoning is coming. Black and brown folk are not going to take a back seat anymore. It’s time to lay down your unjust privileges and sue for peace while the getting’s still good. Lucky for America, D.L. Hughley has a plan.

On the eve of America becoming a majority-minority nation, Hughley warns, the only way for America to move forward peacefully is if Whites face their history, put aside all their visions of superiority, and open up their institutions so they benefit everyone in this nation.  But we can still have fun with this right?  Surrender, White People! hilariously holds America account for its wrongs and offers his satirical terms for reparations and reconciliation.

But it’s not all bad news, white folks. The upside is that if you put D.L.’s plan into effect, you can FINALLY get black people to stop talking about oppression, discrimination, and their place in America. That’s something we can get behind.

[Kim · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

The author uses a plethora of historical events to support the need for social reform. I am glad for the audiobook, but I will be purchasing the hard copy because this is worth having on the shelf for reference and digestion.

Racist Book. Black people are NOT the new Royalty. They are the most criminal and murderous people in our country. Turn around if you see a black person walking at night.

[Patt Mihailoff · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

D.L. is one big truth machine. We can laugh at what he says, but we all know its true.
Unfortunately racism an privilege is too engrained.
There NEVER will be and end too it as long as there is a darker skin color.
Sorry but it's true. I 've lived too long to not know it.

D.L. Hughley calls for the surrender of white people because he doesn't trust the history we have with compromises. Except for having to take Kanye West, it's really a better deal than we deserve. I say take it!
