The University of Washington's Special Collections's Book Club examines Mat Johnson's Incognegro: A Graphic Mystery. Gus was fascinated to learn more about a book club with mostly White people reading a comic book about the lynching and castration of black males. The author, Mat Johnson, is so pale that he might be able to "pass" as a White person. This greatly influences the narrative, where the main character "passes" as a White man to investigate the wrongful imprisonment and planned lynching of his black brother - who has too much melanin to "pass." Be mindful of the terms used to describe or elide the System of White Supremacy and note the various ways that White people suggest they are ignorant about Racism.
