Writer and activist Andre Henry is OK with losing friends in fight against racism.
book“I need to alert you to something about the book in your hands: this won’t be an easy read,” writes the 37-year-old Inglewood resident and activist in his first book “All The White Friends I Couldn’t Keep: Hope – and Hard Pills to Swallow – About Fighting for Black Lives,” which was published March 22.
“I’m calling out things about how White people behave that are really uncomfortable for some people to look at. People are going to read it and see me criticizing things that they do and they’ve done,” he said during a recent phone interview a few days before the March 22 release of his 267-page book debut.
One of the things Henry write about that he knows will make people uncomfortable is how he is willing to drop White friends who he says are gaslighting their Black friends, some without even knowing it or trying.he addresses the first time he blocked someone online because of a racial justice conversation.
