Summary: Bad Blood Brothers
Comment: White Man oh Black man oh Racially variegated man, and I thought I was the only person who wrote or spoke like these guys do in a public forum...insofar as a book is public. The covers sort of look like a public bathroom stall wall but don't mistake anything in this book for a load of crap(don't even go there), thought there is a touch of what could be percieved to be toilet humor in some spots where entirely appropriate. I just wish I knew if and when they were going to write a New Testament to this race-relations bible for the modern world so I can sign up as a disciple! Almost everyone gets equal play and gets equally played in this book save for maybe Eskimos but that's to their credit. A few minor gripes: Why is there no mention of the cult favorite comicbook BrotherMan or the action figure Sun-Man or the race distribution of the 1980s G.I.Joe team but they have a whole section on Muppet nationalities?

Summary: A must-read for hip-hop fans & those who wanna know!
Comment: i haven't read the book in it's entirety, but if you liked Ego Trip's Book of Rap Lists then this one is also for you: to me, this is what real hip hop is supposed to be about: having the ...[courage] to speak your mind about real issues; not just about the girls, the sex and the bling bling; it's about the stuff that's been in your face for years that you were wondering about when you were growing up but never talked about...and it's funny as hell! i always wondered why black people never went near the water and who knew that Wonder Woman was half-Mexican! I am truly enlightened by this book. This is the truth people: read it! Mad props to the Egotrip staff, or should i say 'kudos'!

Summary: whoah
Comment: Very rarely does a book come along that can discuss something like race in a realistic manner... but, somehow this book does it. by being both tongue-in-cheek ("items in a chinese person's house not worth stealing") and deadly serious (listing various race incidents accross america from colonial times to the present on a state by state basis) this book actually delivers what it promises: a complete encyclopedia on race. By constantly mixing up it's tone and presentation (from dense factually based text to humorous cartoons), it manages to encompass so many viewpoints. Some of the things listed ("why hispanics steal?")are on that fine edge between parody and truth: are they kidding or are these the type of things that people may think but only say when drunk in the company of friends? As someone who is always glad to see the unspeakable said, I believe Ego Trip is operating in the tradition of Lenny Bruce: by speaking these thoughts and words, you are bringing them out into the open and thus demystifying them. Basically, race in america is a COMPLICATED issue to say the least. By coming at it from so many angles (and by always keeping a sense of humor), the authors may just come close to the truth.
