Le Shawn Barber reviews Joseph C. Phillips' new book, He Talk Like a White Boy.
The Amazon.com review says
Actor and social commentator, Joseph C. Phillips, speaks powerfully to life as a conservative African-American husband, father, and American citizen. As a young student, Phillips overheard someone say of him, "He talk like a white boy!" never thought that speaking correctly would cause others to question his authenticity as an African- American. Little did he know what lay in his future. His choices in music, politics, faith, and family have given rise to many accusations of his not being "black enough." As an actor, Joseph has encountered even more pointing fingers, this time for not being liberal enough for Hollywood.
Le Shawn Barber says, "Readers looking for a forthright--and sometimes painful--account of being a black conservative won't be disappointed."
