How to Be Less Stupid About Race

On Racism, White Supremacy, and the Racial Divide

By: Crystal M. Fleming

A unique and irreverent take on everything that's wrong with our “national conversation about race”—and what to do about it How to Be Less Stupid About Race is your essential guide to breaking through the half-truths and ridiculous misconceptions that have thoroughly corrupted the way race is represented in the classroom, pop culture, media, and politics. Centuries after our nation was founded on genocide, settler colonialism, and slavery, many Americans are kinda-sorta-maybe waking up to the reality that our racial politics are (still) garbage. But in the midst of this reckoning, widespread denial and misunderstandings about race persist, even as white supremacy and racial injustice are more visible than ever before. Combining no-holds-barred social critique, humorous personal anecdotes, and analysis of the latest interdisciplinary scholarship on systemic racism, sociologist Crystal M. Fleming provides a fresh, accessible, and irreverent take on everything that’s wrong with our “national conversation about race.” Drawing upon critical race theory, as well as her own experiences as a queer black millennial college professor and researcher, Fleming unveils how systemic racism exposes us all to racial ignorance—and provides a road map for transforming our knowledge into concrete social change. Searing, sobering, and urgently needed, How to Be Less Stupid About Race is a truth bomb for your racist relative, friend, or boss, and a call to action for everyone who wants to challenge white supremacy and intersectional oppression. If you like Issa Rae, Justin Simien, Angela Davis, and Morgan Jerkins, then this deeply relevant, bold, and incisive book is for you.

Rise Up!

How You Can Join the Fight Against White Supremacy

By: Crystal Marie Fleming

This urgent book explores the roots of racism and its legacy in modern day, all while empowering young people with actionable ways they can help foster a better world and become antiracists. Why are white supremacists still openly marching in the United States? Why are undocumented children of color separated from their families and housed in cages? Where did racism come from? Why hasn’t it already disappeared? And what can young people do about it? Rise Up! breaks down the origins of racial injustice and its continued impact today, connecting dots between the past and present. By including contemporary examples ripped from headlines and actionable ways young people can help create a more inclusive world, sociologist Crystal Marie Fleming shares the knowledge and values that unite all antiracists: compassion, solidarity, respect, and courage in the face of adversity. Perfect for fans of Stamped: Remix, This Book is Antiracist, Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Boy, and The Black Friend. Praise for Rise Up!

God Remembered Rachel

By: Crystal M. Fleming

God Remembered Rachel" was subsequently one of the many titles I had to choose for my poetry book. This title stood out the most due to it's significance to me. A fellow colleague in the gospel preached a sermon with the same title a while back,and I never forgot it. The biblical account of Rachel, though painful at times to read about, ultimately had a wonderful ending. I loved the fact that Rachel learned through trial and error to trust in a God, who promises that you will reap if you faint not. At the end of this story God opens her womb, so she can bare Jacob two sons. They are the evidence that though she sowed in tears she reap in joy. This book should shed light on our dark situations, give hope when you feel you don't have any, as well as provide joy and laughter. I hope that we realize that if God remembered Rachel, he will remember us too!
