I find it almost impossible to imagine that this guy didn't know what would happen here:
Last summer, I disguised myself as a Black man and traveled throughout the United States to document how racism persists in American society.
Writing Seven Shoulders was one of the hardest things I've ever done as a journalist.
When I see a white journalist say "I disguised myself as a black man," I gotta say I'm kind of at a loss for words.
I don't know what "disguising myself as a black man" looks like for this guy, but if it's anything even within shouting distance of "blackface," this guy is in for it, big time.
Honestly, the Amazon description of this book is so over-the-top that I have to wonder if this isn't some sort of hilarious joke:
Six decades after the passage of the Civil Rights Act, award-winning journalist Sam Forster performs a daring transformation in order to taxonomize the various types of racism that persist in modern America. Seven Shoulders is the most important book on American race relations that has ever been written.
"The most important book on American race relations that has ever been written?"
I guess he didn't know that a white writer already did this in 1959??
I don't know how Forster managed to do it, but he united pretty much everyone in the universe against him:
(If you don't know, The National Post is Canadian and the Canadians have a famous black white guy!)
For those wondering, yes, Forster is a regime journalist. He was in Gaza to cover the war in March and published a book lamenting car culture, obesity, and the "fetishization of employment" in America. If you think he's a parody, it's because that's what our journalists have become, which is why this site exists!
