Author Holds Auction to Become an Honorary Black Person on eBay
|
Posted By: Dewan Gibson on May 23, 2009 In conjunction with the release of the humor book entitled "The Imperfect Enjoyment" Irc Books author Dewan W. Gibson is sponsoring an auction on eBay to promote discussion of changing racial dynamics. Gibson sarcastically writes, "Did you feel a bit left out at President Obama's inauguration? Would you like to be called "brotha" or "sista" by someone unrelated to you? Have you recently wondered what the big deal is about those damn Tyler Perry movies? Well suffer in silence no longer. Now is your chance to become an honorary Black person!" The winner of this auction will receive a signed certificate in a strong mahogany frame proclaiming him or her an honorary Black person. The winner will also receive "Gibson's Secret Guide to Being Black," an easy to follow 10-step guide to understand Black culture in no time. You can access the auction on eBay or www.imperfectenjoyment.com/blog. Excerpts from "Gibson's Secret Guide to Being Black" are below. The author writes: -Do not celebrate Kwanzaa. This holiday is an inside joke designed to give white people the false hope that we are returning to our roots and possibly going back to Africa. -Be careful when supporting Affirmative Action, quotas or anything of the like. These diversity programs are also in effect in most jails and prisons. -Criticism of President Obama is akin to someone calling your mother out her name. Please react accordingly -Remember that THE MAN is a very dangerous person. In fact, if you look over your shoulder right now he’s probably planting a bloody glove and framing you for murder. The Irc Books author goes on to say he wants to call attention to the "misguided importance placed on one's pigmentation." Gibsons says, "I firmly believe that future generations will be unable to fathom how racial disparities and separation continued to exist well after the Civil Rights Movement. People of all races should be held accountable…my advice is to date someone of a different race. The old saying is very profound: we are all the same color when the lights go out.'" Author Dewan W. Gibson has long been an advocate for interracial relationships and race-related political incorrectness. More information about his recent book can be found at http://www.imperfectenjoyment.com. Please contact Donald Beyer, Director of Marketing at Irc Books, to interview Mr. Gibson. ABOUT DEWAN W. GIBSON: Dewan Gibson is an adjunct faculty member at San Diego State University. He has written for the International Journal of Intercultural Relations and various web magazines. His first book, a humorous relationship memoir entitled "The Imperfect Enjoyment," was released in 2009 and quickly became one of the top 70 books in its genre on Amazon.com. He is also the editor of the popular "Love & Laughs" blog at www.imperfectenjoyment.com/blog. ABOUT THE IMPERFECT ENJOYMENT: When college instructor Dewan Gibson leaves the Midwest for California, he expects to find a world of breast implants, beer and beaches. Instead he enters a secret and ill-fated romance with a Middle Eastern undergraduate. In this vivid and humorous memoir, Gibson describes his attempts to overcome his forbidden love affair by jumping into an office fling gone wrong (Tijuana Mornings), traveling across the world to Denmark in hopes of meeting "Ms. Booty Mama" (Arhus Ain't for Lovers) and musing over the interracial relationships between his African-American uncles and "rural white women that wore 1980's big bangs and resembled Guns N' Roses groupies" (Too Much Tupac). Toeing the line between stable adulthood and post-college debauchery, Gibson presents a comically honest look at the frailty of modern relationships. Poignant, witty and at times downright hilarious--The Imperfect Enjoyment is a story of toxic relationships and the search for a second chance at love that enlightens and amuses as very few books do. ABOUT IRC BOOKS: Founded in 2007, Irc Books is an independent publisher of humor and pop-culture books primarily aimed toward young adults.
