That's How They Get You

Book • 2025
'That's How They Get You,' edited by Damon Young, is a collection of sharp satirical pieces from top Black American writers.

The anthology skewers everything from Karen culture to Disney's racial insensitivity and tech company exploitation.

Contributors like Mateo Askaripour offer biting commentary on workplace racism and cultural appropriation.

Through humor, the writers expose systemic absurdities while maintaining their sanity.

This collection demonstrates how humor serves as both a weapon and a shield in a world that often feels hostile.

Each piece challenges readers to laugh, reflect, and reconsider their perspectives on race and culture.
