Stocking Stuffer for Colored Folk?

The New York Times recently published a list of items you can get for the “Colored” person on your shopping list, which includes makeup, clothing and books. Here is one book the Times forgot to include:

The book is called “Visiting Day.” Its described as:

While not every family can relate, no family can really call itself normal (certainly not perfect) so who are we to judge this book by its cover? Unfortunately when parents or other family members make mistakes it’s the kids who suffer the most. Visiting Day approaches the subject of dealing with an incarcerated family member without judgment.

Aww. The book is about getting all dressed up and driving cross-state to visit Daddy who is locked up for a reason that you shouldn’t judge him for, because that would be bad. So the fact that he’s locked up must therefore be completely arbitrary, which makes the whole situation incredibly cruel to just you, for which we simply laugh!

Look, visiting day may indeed be special to many children, but don’t pretend that there is no real reason why Daddy is locked up with murderers and rapists!

Thanks to Mary for the tip!
