Your Black Friend
Your Black Friend | Ben Passmore
5 posts | 10 read | 2 to read
Ben Passmore's necessary contribution to the dialogue around race in the United States, Your Black Friend is a letter from your black friend to you about race, racism, friendship and alienation. On the heels of viral online success with 500,000+ views, the revised print edition of the Your Black Friend comic is in gorgeous full color on fancy matte paper stock. Inspired by Frantz Fanon's White Skin, Black Masks, Your Black Friend is just as direct, immediate, and necessary as Ta-Nehisi Coates Between the World and Me and Claudia Rankine's Citizen. Known for his politically charged science fiction comics, enthusiastic fans of Passmore s work include Brandon Graham (Island, Image Comics), Carolyn Nowak (Lumberjanes) and Josh Simmons (Fantagraphics)."

I loved the first half - thought provoking, measured yet passionate, and brilliantly cutting. I was less interested in the more fantastical and less political (to me anyway) second half.

My library had a graphic novel display so I decided to stretch myself a bit and give these three a try.

I like this book a lot. I feel like it could open up a lot good conversations between folks. I liked this part about anger because it reminded me of some conversations I've had with Black students & their experiences at our PWI.

I'm still processing, but I'm thinking about the problematic things that I do & what I can do better.

I like this book a lot.

I haven‘t posted on Litsy in ages but trying desperately to hit my Goodreads goal of 75 books before the end of the year! I‘m only like...17 books behind now!

Such an important, powerful read. Some of us have difficulty even broaching the subject of race, and I feel like this book does a great job as an entry point for the conversation. 13/10 #comicsarerealbooks
