Little racist white boy Timothy wishes one day that there were no more black people.
So the next day, he wakes up and finds out there is no more rap music. I say good riddance.
The rest of the book is a poor attempt at historical revisionism.

This book is a kid-friendly way to discuss the many contributions of Black people in a way that celebrates Blackness while pointing out that white kids can unlearn racism. My whole family enjoyed this book
