Summary:
FROM Developing UP IN DETROIT, where he marched as a ten-year-old with Dr. Martin Luther Ruler Jr., to going to the inauguration of Leader Barack Obama, where he narrowly avoided the Crimson Tunnel of Doom but nonetheless saw nothing, David Alan Grier examines how he — and America — possess changed for the better and the funnier.
Within these web pages, Grier imagines being called to serve in President Obama’s cabinet as the ‘secretary of mirth’; goes to a crazy and psychological election evening party he about Barack Like Me: The Chocolate-Covered Truth hosted that didn’t move as prepared; explains the true meaning of the ‘magical Negro’; recalls the formative shows from his life — including being rejected by the Dark Panthers at their headquarters door and turning down the initial offer to focus on In Living Color — as well as for the first time ever sneaks you backstage at Dance with the Stars, where he exposes the internal workings from the show — the camaraderie between dancers and celebrities, the excruciatingly unpleasant rehearsals, the outrageous arrangements, and each hysterical second of his four-episode appearance and subsequent public meltdown.
Grier unabashedly muses on politics, culture, and race while recounting his personal life story with this edgy, timeless, hilarious, and revelatory memoir and appearance at all things Barack.
Barack Like Me personally is David Alan Grier in his best — the person, comic, and twenty-first-century thinker — funny, brilliant, and initial.
