It really is just smart, important, and real answers for real questions.īB: I don’t know if you know this about Emmanuel Acho, but he is also a Fox Sports analyst and former NFL player and former Longhorn from the University of Texas. He asks us to get uncomfortable with him as he delves into what it means for culture today, and he invites us to walk the talk about our beliefs. He gives us a historical understanding of the question in the answer. He takes on just random questions from white folks, just-any question that he hears over and over, he takes it on. This book is a manifesto, a mandate, a playbook. He has released an incredible book with the same name, Uncomfortable Conversations With a Black Man. It’s just basically a human conversation that is open and uncomfortable and urgent and necessary.
