520    "In Uncomfortable Conversations With a Black Man, Acho 
       takes on all the questions, large and small, insensitive 
       and taboo, many white Americans are afraid to ask--yet 
       which all Americans need the answers to, now more than 
       ever. With the same open-hearted generosity that has made 
       his video series a phenomenon, Acho explains the vital 
       core of such fraught concepts as white privilege, cultural
       appropriation, and "reverse racism." In his own words, he 
       provides a space of compassion and understanding in a 
       discussion that can lack both. He asks only for the 
       reader's curiosity--but along the way, he will galvanize 
       all of us to join the antiracist fight." -- Provided by 
       publisher.
