Sure I'll be Your Black Friend is a hilarious relatable memoir through some seriously sad situations.  As an African American I will say people suck and I've had many similar experiences.  My only hope is we as blacks don't contribute to the madness and allow it to continue as rampant as it has.  I did not know Columbia had a graduation swimming requirement.  Great book and I am happy to be able to review it for my book community.  Very timely with the election because politics and racism do indeed have a relationship.
