Not a Genuine Black Man
Not a Genuine Black Man
It was a caller to Brian Copeland’s talk show in San Francisco that cystalized many of the issues of race and society that he had been dealing with since his childhood—an African American claimed that Brian, himself a black man, was not being true to his race when discussing a racial story.

Brian Copeland, author & performer of the book & solo show, “Not a Genuine Black Man”; talk radio host on KGO in San Francisco
