Keepin' It Real presents a wide-ranging group of essays that take on key aspects of the current landscape surrounding racial issues in Trump-era America, including the place of the Obamas, the rise of the alt-right and White nationalism, Donald Trump, Colin Kaepernick and the backlash against his protests, Black Lives Matter, sexual politics in the Black community, and much more.
