From the cofounder of VerySmartBrothas.com and one of the most-read writers on race and culture at work today, a provocative and humorous memoir-in-essays that explores the ever-shifting definitions of what it means to be Black (and male) in America.
For Damon Young, existing while Black is an extreme sport. The act of possessing Black skin while searching for space to breathe in America is enough to induce a ceaseless state of angst where questions such as “How should I react here, as a professional black person?” and “Will this white person’s potato salad kill me?” are forever relevant.
What Doesn’t Kill You Makes You Blacker chronicles Young’s efforts to survive while battling and making sense of the various neuroses his country has given him.
It’s a condition that’s sometimes stretched to absurd limits, provoking the angst that made him question if he was any good at the “being straight” thing, as if his sexual orientation was something he could practice and get better at, like a crossover dribble move or knitting; creating the farce where, as a teen, he wished for a White person to call him a racial slur just so he could fight him and have a great story about it; and generating the surreality of watching gentrification transform his Pittsburgh neighborhood from predominantly Black to “Portlandia…but with pierogies.”
At its most devastating, it provides him reason to believe his mother would be alive today if she were White.
From one of our most respected cultural observers, What Doesn’t Kill You Makes You Blacker is a hilarious and honest debut that is both a celebration of the idiosyncrasies and distinctions of Blackness and a critique of white supremacy and how we define masculinity.

Judging by the crime rate, the title should be How Many You Kill Makes You Blacker.

So, uh, what “does” kill you makes you “less” black? So, Chicago is “less” black with black people killing other blacks. Trying to figure this one out

Look at all the white American men in here showing the rest of us how terrified they are.
America is a land of pussies

LOL!!! Isn’t it hilarious when angry, militant, virginal white men blame everyone else but STILL try to look tough??? LOL, you white american men are SUCH COWARDS, even just writing the word ‘black’ triggers you chumps SOOOOO hard!
LOL, African Americans have your number, white man, they’re obviously so much more tougher and resilient than you. Can you believe these people were kidnapped and enslaved and are STILL taking over the white man’s world?? Can you believe the top entertainers, athletes, authors and even politicians like Obama and Harris are almost all black (or Asian or Latino)??
When you see a group of people who are that tough, that resilient, who whites have tried SO HARD to wipe out, yet they keep rising, it makes white men mad. Especially when white men are constantly telling us about how tough they are, how they love guns and watch UFC and are so tough and strong, yet what African Americans have done is REAL strength. THEY are the tough ones, you white men are the cowards and it’s hilarious that you think the rest of us can’t see this.
