À propos de cet audio

In the wake of his deeply powerful viral videos ("Before You Call the Cops" and "Walking While Black"), Tyler Merritt shares his experiences as a black man in America with truth, humor, and poignancy.

Tyler Merritt's video "Before You Call the Cops" has been viewed millions of times. He's appeared on Jimmy Kimmel and Sports Illustrated and has been profiled in the New York Times. The viral video's main point—the more you know someone, the more empathy, understanding, and compassion you have for that person—is the springboard for this book. By sharing his highs and exposing his lows, Tyler welcomes us into his world in order to help bridge the divides that seem to grow wider every day.

In I Take My Coffee Black, Tyler tells hilarious stories from his own life as a black man in America. He talks about growing up in a multi-cultural community and realizing that he wasn't always welcome, how he quit sports for musical theater (that's where the girls were) to how Jesus barged in uninvited and changed his life forever (it all started with a Triple F.A.T. Goose jacket) to how he ended up at a small Bible college in Santa Cruz because he thought they had a great theater program (they didn't). Throughout his stories, he also seamlessly weaves in lessons about privilege, the legacy of lynching and sharecropping and why you don't cross black mamas. He teaches readers about the history of encoded racism that still undergirds our society today.

By turns witty, insightful, touching, and laugh-out-loud funny, I Take My Coffee Black paints a portrait of black manhood in America and enlightens, illuminates, and entertains—ultimately building the kind of empathy that might just be the antidote against the racial injustice in our society.

Ce que les critiques en disent

“A sad, happy, moving, troubling, inspirational, humorous and brutal account of the people and experiences that formed this exceptionally well-formed man... (Tyler Merritt) … subtly and kindly reminds us of how much we have in common and that assumptions are made by fools.”
—Jimmy Kimmel

A teachable book. It’s refreshing and shows us that life is full of good, and bad and that a person lived experiences should never be discounted. Thanks Tyler.

You will feel every feel. You will be changed by his story which is a part of African American. I’m a over the middle age white woman who is angry that this book had to be written but thankful for Tyler’s words. Looking forward to the 18 part series that should be on Netflix. A&&holes need to read this book.

I started following Tyler Merritt on social media after seeing “Before you call the cops.” I knew this book would have heart, humor, love and optimism, (and references to musicals, obviously.) He gets real, and raw, not just about racial justice, but about his own hurts and his own flaws. I appreciate that about this book a whole lot. I laughed, I nodded along, I definitely cried.

Tyler is all about making points of connection with everyone around him, in the hope that our similarities win the day against prejudice and assumptions. It was great to hear it in his own voice with his own inflections.

I can’t recall the last time I read an autobiography, but I couldn’t turn this one off.

An autobiography with heart and optimism
