From acclaimed columnist and political commentator Michael Harriot, a searingly smart and bitingly hilarious retelling of American history that corrects the record and showcases the perspectives and experiences of Black Americans.
America’s backstory is a whitewashed mythology implanted in our collective memory. It is the story of the pilgrims on the Mayflower building a new nation. It is George Washington’s cherry tree and Abraham Lincoln’s log cabin. It is the fantastic tale of slaves that spontaneously teleported themselves here with nothing but strong backs and negro spirituals. It is a sugarcoated legend based on an almost true story.
It should come as no surprise that the dominant narrative of American history is blighted with errors and oversights—after all, history books were written by white men with their perspectives at the forefront. It could even be said that the devaluation and erasure of the Black experience is as American as apple pie.
In Black AF History, Michael Harriot presents a more accurate version of American history. Combining unapologetically provocative storytelling with meticulous research based on primary sources as well as the work of pioneering Black historians, scholars, and journalists, Harriot removes the white sugarcoating from the American story, placing Black people squarely at the center. With incisive wit, Harriot speaks hilarious truth to oppressive power, subverting conventional historical narratives with little-known stories about the experiences of Black Americans. From the African Americans who arrived before 1619 to the unenslavable bandit who inspired America’s first police force, this long overdue corrective provides a revealing look into our past that is as urgent as it is necessary. For too long, we have refused to acknowledge that American history is white history. Not this one. This history is Black AF.

Such a load of garbage. Waste of listening time.

This book is hilarious, in fact history is being blackwashed…

This book is RACIST AF!

These poor deluded souls. As history is simply a matter a perspective, this is a history book those above should definitely listen to. Based on those comments, it may very well be the only history book they’ll ever read. At least one pretends to know history but, alas, they devolved into another whiny White regurgitating all this supposed guilt that supposedly permeates elementary schools these days…like they’re told.
It’s amazing to think that 16 hours is all it’d take to change five people (so far) forever. I can think of several more commenters who’d also experience a paradigm-shift if only they spent 16 hours to learn about what they pretend to know. Honestly, though, ANY American Reconstruction history book not censored by their masters would do but this one is a good start.

black Americans fought in the revolutionary war of independence, just on that point alone i think it is important to acknowledge contributions made. While I see the point that Blackwashing of history is a thing, it will only hurt your position in the long term to negate any contributions that black Americans made, and give more ammo to the far-left agenda. A good example of “not throwing out the baby with the bathwater” ?

Love seeing racists get triggered in the comments. That being said, how many articles did this guy get yanked down when he wrote for The Root? My favorite was the Russiagate one where EVERY SINGLE SOURCE he cited came forward to say that he had either mischaracterized or flat-out lied about what they had actually said to him.

Just fücking end it all you worthless nazi. You won’t be missed

If there’s one thing white men know how to do, it’s kill other people! I remember I once walked into a discussion among four white guys and they were saying names and numbers and I thought they were talking about sports statistics but it turned out they were talking ABOUT MASS MURDERERS!!! Yes, these white guys had memorized lists of serial killers and other heroes like Hitler and were comparing their ‘kill counts’!! You should have seen the look in their eyes, it was like 12-year-olds seeing a naked body for the first time, their eyes were wide, their mouths open and drooling - it was truly shocking, but a moment I’ll never forget that made me understand the white male mentality. If you ask any white man who the most “successful” killers are in history, he’ll likely have a long, memorized list, with dates and weapons included. This is what a lot of white guys do in their spare time, along with fun hobbies like collecting nazi memorabilia…
LOL, how many Asian women that you know have a nazi uniform collection?? How many indigenous Americans that you have met regularly post pictures on social media of themselves and their children holding guns and smiling?? How many white men do you know love dancing and fashion??
White men hate sex and love violence. When you see them in groups, they’re angry, yelling and usually have some kind of relationship with fire (”dude, fire makes me look tough!”)
But again, you know the white race is over when books can kill them. It took centuries of white hatred and anger to try to wipe the rest of us out and THEY HAVE FAILED!! LOL!!! The best part? I don’t have to fight the white man, because OTHER WHITE PEOPLE will fight for me! LOL! It’s over white man, go learn Arabic, Spanish, Chinese or Hindi, because that’s all you’ve got left!! LOL LOL LLLLOOOOOLLLLL!!!!!

Unfortunately, Gordon, your lack of understanding shines through once again. You act like a jack-of-all-trades, knowing just enough to sound credible but having no depth of knowledge to say anything with any kind of authority. Even when you may be close to having a point, your deficiency screws it up.
In this case, reading. Where did it say in the synopsis that this book was going to highlight how the human race benefited from Black contributions? You call the entirety of Black people the “laziest” (which is what White masters claimed if Blacks weren’t whipped and tormented ceaselessly both during and after slavery and is basic Klan ideology), the “least-educated” (which was by design [and even legislated] during Reconstruction and into the 20th century all over the U.S., not just the Jim Crow South), “crime-prone” (you’re just parroting but ask your friends about the ‘list’ koloko nonsensically ranted about and maybe they’d name one or two Blacks in a sea of White), and “low-value” (a claim epitomizing why ‘Black Lives Matter’ is a slogan you need tattooed on your forehead as it was coined for people like you to easily remember). Your dissonance from reality has already failed you before your attempt at expounding on your drivel further reflects the low-value of your thinking.
But your main ‘point’ was contributions to the human race. Let’s set aside the obvious examples your little brain forgot about to music, food, culture, and the vernacular (which are all positive) and contemplate on what you could have meant. It is a lesson in futility as (a) any amount of contemplation is likely over-thinking what you likely thought were ‘deep’ examples; and (b) your lack of insight to anything meaningful betrays that not all contributions are positive. For every one example of positive contribution, there are three IN THE SAME ERA that were negative.
So, yes, you win. It is easiest to name Whites that negatively impacted the human race and the list is loooong. Harder to name Asians that negatively impacted the human race but they’re there, harder still to attribute negative contributions from Arabs (which I’m sure you’re lumping all people from the Middle East into despite the Saudis being the only Arabs and negating the long history of Persians as just one example of diversity in that region). You did add Jews as positive contributors to show that your antisemitism isn’t blind to reality…but you still added them as a separate people despite the Semitic roots of the entire area and is probably the hardest group in your list to find examples of negative contributions (your George Soros delusion not even worth indulging). Blacks? They’ve only ‘recently’ been given agency to make negative contributions, the positives being appropriated from them with only grudging and retroactive credit given. And they’re doing their best to make up for it in various places in Africa, for example (Ethiopia and Nigeria being examples from headlines just this year). But simply using your own Klan-mentality destroys your whole thesis when you consider the antebellum South needed Black people to even exist. No economy, no exports, no enterprise. The South without Blacks is equivalent to the C-level executives of a corporation without anyone actually making them money. In essence, the most useless and nonproductive existence in the corporate structure. Without Black contributions to the U.S. specifically, uncredited and en mass, there is no U.S.
Disney acquired the rights to use AI to replicate James Earl Jones’s voice so Darth Vader and Mufasa can live on eternally. There is no greater contribution to the human race than someone asking to buy your voice so future generations can hear it. Sure, there are millions of voices immortalized by the power of digital technology, but his was ASKED for, not just stolen or forever limited by what is available. Whites? No. Asians? No. Arabs? No. Jews? No. Blacks? Mark Zuckerberg had a robot with Morgan Freeman’s voice. Even without that extra example, it’s still infinitely more.

@koloko Your prob trolling, but bro, its becoming a problem. “White hate”… smh. We BOTH know hatred doesn’t have a color, lets pretend you’re NOT trolling, and your literally a brain-washed potato. “Hate” is one of many tools, used to keep those in power, static, or to gain (WWII anybody?). Lets look OUTSIDE, and INSIDE the US, at “white hate.” Chinese “hate” Japanese, & vice versa. US blacks “hate” whites (due to trash law makers & the pawns enforcing said laws). UK whites “hate” brown (due to the infinitesimal radicals, inside the Muslim community). Israelis “hate” Palestinians, & vice versa (does this even need explaining?). S Koreans “hate” Chinese. White “hates” white (US Politics: Right vs Left). Brown “hates” brown. (NA gangs: Norteños vs Sureños). N Koreans “hate” ALL outsiders (bc they are indoctrinated from birth). Much like what is happening to the west, by comments like yours. But even trolling hurts us all now, bc A LOT of ppl think these “WHITE hate” comments are real. Whole generations were raised with no purpose in life. Leaving them open for INDOCTRINATION. The adults see u are just regurgitating western corporate/political talking points. But not ALL adults, to an alarming degree. I have to believe its trolling, bc its to sad that a real person could assign a skin color to HATE. Either way, anyone reading this, JUST STOP. Stop letting a false narrative control the way u think (or joke via comment). You are helping the 1% (which is now a cringe word, just like WOKE), stay hidden, and in control. Try this, how would YOU keep ANY nation of millions CONQUERED? How bout, DIVIDE their ways of thinking, and all the “hate” is directed toward other ppl, instead of the very few that can actually change things. LOOK WHAT IT HAS DONE TO LA. THAT is the end result of fake narratives.
