Black Is The New White is an unapologetically candid memoir by American stand-up comedian comedian, writer, television and film actor Paul Mooney. It was published on November 3, 2009.[1] [2]
In Black Is The New White Paul Mooney talks about his celebrated partnership with fellow stand-up comedian Richard Pryor, from their first meeting to the very last joke. He reflects on some of the most notorious moments in his life, including organizing a performers' strike on the Comedy Store and publicly giving up the n-word after Michael Richards' onstage outburst.
