Plot summary, “Some of My Best Friends are Black” by Tanner Colby in 4 Minutes - Book Review VIDEO
Some of My Best Friends Are Black (2013) by Tanner Colby examines the persistence of racial segregation in America decades after the civil rights movement. Sparked by his realization after the 2008 election that he had no Black friends, Colby traces segregation through schools, housing, advertising, and churches. Using personal reflection, history, and case studies—from busing in Alabama to redlining in real estate and exclusion in Madison Avenue—he reveals how systemic and voluntary practices continue to divide communities. The book closes with cautious optimism, highlighting examples of integration achieved through persistence and effort.
