But for the Ruffin family and many others, there has been one constant that connects them: racism hasn't gone anywhere. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrom her raucous musical numbers to turning upsetting news into laughs as the host of \u003ci\u003eThe Amber Ruffin Show \u003c\/i\u003eor in her \u003ci\u003eLate Night with Seth Meyers \u003c\/i\u003esegments, Amber is no stranger to finding the funny wherever she looks. With equal parts heart and humor, she and her sister Lacey Lamar shared some of the eye-opening and outrageous experiences Lacey had faced in Nebraska in their first book. Now, the dynamic duo makes it clear--Lacey isn't the only one in the family with ridiculous encounters to share! Amber and Lacey have many more uproarious stories, both from their own lives and the entire Ruffin family. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRecounting the wildest tales of racism from their parents, their siblings, and Amber's nieces and nephews, this intergenerational look at ludicrous (but all too believable) everyday racism as experienced across age, gender, and appearance will have you gasping with shock \u003ci\u003eand\u003c\/i\u003e laughter in turn.
