Celebrating Black History Month: Is my bookshelf racist?

To honor Black History Month I was prepared to make a “my favorite books I own by black Americans” video. But when preparing for this video, I noticed that I own very few books written by black Americans. I have plenty of books by non-whites and non-Americans so I can check diversity off of my white-guilt bucket list, but black Americans specifically seem under-represented. This video asks, why?

Also, I’ve somehow managed to work farts into this video. You’re welcome MLK.
