About this listen

A definitive guide to calling out racial stereotypes and understanding the meaning behind them.

Clapback: [Noun / Verb] Responding to a (often ignorant) notion with a withering comeback; with the aim of shutting. it. down.

In order to have an honest and open conversation about race, we need to identify areas where things are not right.

The Clapback: How to Call Out Harmful Black Stereotypes examines the evolution of the negative stereotypes towards the black community and arms you with the tools to shut them down once and for all. Taking listeners on a journey through history, and providing facts and detailed research, this is an eye-opening and refreshing look at race and language.

With a light-hearted, razor sharp wit and a refreshing honesty, The Clapback is the handbook the world needs - dishing out the hard truths and providing a road map for bringing some 'act right' into our everyday lives.

It's time to Clapback.

Absolutely amazing start to finish

Extremely well written and read. This book made understanding the issues being faced today and issues being facets in the past very easy to understand and absorb. I have already given copies to friends/family. I would say this in a must read for both allied to and people of the BIPOC community.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
