“Let us begin by committing ourselves to the truth to see
it like it is, and tell it like it is.” —Richard Nixon
“I believe America is the solution to the world’s
problems.” —Rush Limbaugh “SHUT THE F#CK UP.”
—D. L. Hughley
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. We sit here
laughing at Borat, but the Kazakhs are sitting in their
country reading.
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 Bill Clinton is more
a product of a black upbringing than Barack Obama - That
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 - Why getting your ghetto pass
revoked should be seen as a good thing, not something to be
ashamed of - And how hard it is to be married to a
black woman
