Barry Barack Hussein Soetoro Obama, Identity, and Racial Hypocrisy in America: Double Standards, Double Speak, and Double Binds

Peter J. McCusker

This book-unlike any other discussing Barack Obama-merely uses the former president as a means to an end. That end is encapsulated in Chapter 15, "General Racial Reconciliation Impediments and General Solutions." The chapter acknowledges the incontrovertible truth that race relations in America have been the most corrosive influence to the well-being of all our citizens since the first slave ship arrived on our shores. The book then proceeds to offer evidence-based insights that, when applied, can move us decisively and incrementally toward really living the truth that all people are created equal. Barry Barack Hussein Soetoro Obama, Identity, and Racial Hypocrisy in America: Double Standards, Double Speak, and Double Binds explains how small but influential groups of white and black people promulgate negative racial stereotypes for personal gain and to justify their own misanthropic views of each other. The rest of us, therefore, must fully understand racial reconciliation impediments and fully implement corrective strategies.

Foreword by Sandi Toksvig | WATERSTONES' BEST BOOKS OF 2023: ENTERTAINMENT 'Give this book to everyone you know - NOW!' Miriam Margolyes 'This is a joyous, uplifting book' Observer 'He was so funny and such fun and here he is again in all his rib-tickling glory' Gyles Brandreth ‘I don’t know how long I’ve got left … I don’t even buy green bananas anymore’ When the legendary comedian Barry Cryer died in January 2022, there was a vast outpouring of grief, appreciation and anecdotes – from the general public and fellow comics alike. Now, his son, Bob, is doing what Barry’s humility did not allow: revealing the story of the man behind the jokes. This book is an ode both to Barry’s incredible life and to the lessons he so generously imparted on the art of comedy during his sixty-year career. Stretching from the music halls of the fifties, via working alongside everyone from Morecambe and Wise to Kenny Everett and David Frost, and into more recent times as a stalwart of Radio 4’s long-running I’m Sorry I Haven’t a Clue, where he worked with Rob Brydon and David Mitchell among many others, this book is a hugely entertaining insight into the life of a true comedy legend. Bob also shares a range of exclusive material unique to the Cryer family – including family photos, memorabilia, oral recordings, interviews with friends and colleagues (among them Michael Palin and Eric Idle) – as well as Bob’s own personal reflections on living and working with a comedy icon. Laced with candour, warmth and filled with his trademark humour, Barry Cryer: Same Time Tomorrow? is not just a wonderfully witty and affectionate biography of a father by a son, but a heartwarming insight into a vanishing era of comedy.

On the run from a ruthless DNA-cloning scientist, Barry, a brown-and-white one-year-old Jack Russell terrier, becomes homeless on the streets of Virginia Beach, Virginia. Duncan Perkins, the nutty scientist with aid from six millionaires called the Commission, experimented on lots of canines with deadly results. Fed up with Duncan's failures, the Commission funded him a large iron box Duncan named the Duplicator. With very few animals left to work with, he chose Barry's mother as his next victim. During a trial run of the Duplicator, tragedy struck. Barry's mother didn't survive. Days later, after arguing with the Commission about the incident, he was granted ten assistants also funded by them. Duncan continued his sick, twisted experiments. He ordered his assistants to inject five shots each into Barry's siblings and Barry. The siblings died several days later, but Barry survived. During a cleaning at the lab, the janitor bumped against Barry's cage, causing the lock to loosen. He escaped through the door to freedom. Now on the streets, those shots started a transformation within him. Telepathy was his first gift. Duncan was furious about his escape. He knew his funding would be in jeopardy, but he had an upper hand against the Commission as well. Working with his employers was a sassy blonde named Miriam. She was a pure snake in high heels. When word was out about termination of his lab funding, he connected with Miriam to concoct a plan against his employers. He ordered his assistants to create four more Barrys. Still on the streets, Barry befriended a couple from North Carolina. They loved him even though he had supernatural gifts. When Duncan found out Barry was headed to North Carolina, he sent Felix, his most trusted man, to track him down. Felix failed, along with others. Now tormented with pure hate and greed, he decided with Miriam to put his plan in effect against the Commission. Miriam and Duncan discussed how they would rip off his employers of the $60 million stored at the Commission's leader's mansion. In the basement was a giant walk-in safe. Meanwhile, Barry was forming an alliance of his own. With help from his new family, three canines from his mother's past, and members from the Commission themselves, they came up with a brilliant plan. During confrontation from both sides, including Duncan's assistants, Barry and his team won. Duncan was arrested by the National Humane Bureau, along with other charges. Miriam went bonkers. The $60 million was split between Barry's family, and some went to agencies for homeless and helpless animals.

Barry Farm-Hillsdale in Anacostia

Barry Farm-Hillsdale in Anacostia

Alcione M Amos

History PR

sidottu
Barry Farm-Hillsdale was created under the auspices of the Freedmen's Bureau in 1867 in what was then the outskirts of the nation's capital. Residents built churches and schools, and the community became successful. In the 1940s, youth from the community courageously desegregated the Anacostia Pool, and Barry Farm Dwellings was built to house war workers. In the 1950s, community parents joined the fight to desegregate schools in Washington, D.C., as local leaders fought off plans to redevelop the area. Both the women and the youth of Barry Farm Dwellings, then public housing, were at the forefront of the fight to improve their lives and those of their neighbors in the 1960s, but community identity was being subsumed into the larger Anacostia neighborhood. Curator and historian Alcione M. Amos tells these little-remembered stories.

Barry Sonnenfeld, Call Your Mother Lib/E: Memoirs of a Neurotic Filmmaker

Barry Sonnenfeld, Call Your Mother Lib/E: Memoirs of a Neurotic Filmmaker

Hachette Books
2020
cd
This outrageous and hilarious memoir follows a film and television director's life, from his idiosyncratic upbringing to his unexpected career as the director behind such huge film franchises as The Addams Family and Men in Black. Barry Sonnenfeld's philosophy is, "Regret the Past. Fear the Present. Dread the Future." Told in his unmistakable voice, Barry Sonnenfeld, Call Your Mother is a laugh-out-loud memoir about coming of age. Constantly threatened with suicide by his over-protective mother, disillusioned by the father he worshiped, and abused by a demonic relative, Sonnenfeld somehow went on to become one of Hollywood's most successful producers and directors.Written with poignant insight and real-life irony, the book follows Sonnenfeld from childhood as a French horn player through graduate film school at NYU, where he developed his talent for cinematography. His first job after graduating was shooting nine feature length pornos in nine days. From that humble entr e, he went on to form a friendship with the Coen Brothers, launching his career shooting their first three films.Though Sonnenfeld had no ambition to direct, Scott Rudin convinced him to be the director of The Addams Family. It was a successful career move. He went on to direct many more films and television shows. Will Smith once joked that he wanted to take Sonnenfeld to Philadelphia public schools and say, "If this guy could end up as a successful film director on big budget films, anyone can." This book is a fascinating and hilarious roadmap for anyone who thinks they can't succeed in life because of a rough beginning.
