Tanner Colby – Some Of My Best Friends Are Black

/in /by

David welcomes writer Tanner Colby to chat about his book Some Of My Best Friends Are Black. Named after the phrase that African-Americans find so offensive, this book was inspired by the 2008 Presidential election when Colby realized that although the country was about to elect a black president, he didn’t actually know any black people. This curiosity sent Colby around the country to explore the successes and failures of integration in the United States.
