{"product_id":"hi-my-name-is-loco-baye-mcneil-9780615587783","title":"Hi! My Name Is Loco and I Am A Racist","description":"Born to Love - Taught to Loathe In this powerful and controversial debut book, acclaimed blogger turned author, Baye McNeil (a.k.a. Loco), vividly illustrates with unflinching introspection and candor the birth and evolution of a racist and in doing so makes the persuasive argument that the only way to cure this social virus is by first engaging one's own susceptibility. Loco takes us on a scintillating journey from the streets of Brooklyn, where a child's first playground was the front lines of the Pan-African Nationalist and Black Power movements of the 70s, to a period of black militancy, military service, interracial romance and corporate bigotry in the 80s and 90s. Following the earth-shattering events of 9\/11\/2001, Loco journeys to Japan where he learns the hard way why the old adage: you can't hide from yourself, has hung around so long. He finds the woman he was born to love; only she's a member of a race he has come to loathe  In the name of this love, Loco confronts his dark stowaway with deep roots even as the world is literally falling apart around him, in the form of the Tohoku disaster of 3\/11\/2011. A book that is both a memoir and an impassioned call to arms, Hi  My Name is Loco and I am a Racist tells us in no uncertain terms that while racism continues to be demonized as a dark aberration that only \"evil people,\" ignorant fools, or people lacking compassion and common decency are subject to, then it will remain at large - hiding in plain sight, in our schools, offices, carpools, living rooms and sometimes even in the mirror.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Baye McNeil\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 061558778X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780615587783\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hunterfly Road Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/15\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 392\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.81d","brand":"Baye McNeil","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43988196491519,"sku":"9780615587783","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_12659c9e-4874-45bf-8865-8217c5d7d8ee.jpg?v=1683293157","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hi-my-name-is-loco-baye-mcneil-9780615587783","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
