Written in a extremely simple and easy to understand style. "Driving While Black The Manifesto" is a balanced blend of little known methods that can be applied immediately and an investigative report full of numbers that help readers recognize who is causing us the most harm and how. Oppressed people have a few choices about what they can do in response to the current conditions in America: Examples: 1. Accept the conditions and be unsatisfied moving forward; 2. Attempt to assimilate and find ourselves falling short of what it is we might want from America; 3. Reject the conditions and find ourselves in a fight and struggle for social justice; 4. Adapt to the circumstances that we face individually and on a case by case basis, which would lead to a pattern of self-reliance and a successful life/reputation. To enculturate (or adapt) on a case-by-case basis, one must do these things: 1. Trust others but verify what they say; 2. Ask better questions of thy self and others; 3. Record important events, for further review and; 4. Remain patient and persistent in pursuit of one's claim. How should the average Black person go about the act of adapting to the institutional racism and cruel treatment we experience on a day-to-day basis? This question (above) is the central theme to Bello Bey's message in Driving While Black; The Manifesto.
