This isn’t a memoir. It’s a dismantling.
Raised by a white mother in a small, conservative town, Michael Smith learned early how to shrink himself into shapes that made other people comfortable. He was polite. Articulate. Safe. He smiled through the stares. Adjusted his voice. Wore the mask.
Until one day, he didn’t.
Fuck That is a gut-punch of a debut — part personal history, part cultural indictment, and fully unflinching. Written from the margins of Black and white America, Ericson doesn’t ask for permission or pity. He tells the truth: about identity, performance, rage, and the exhaustion of living between boxes that were never built to hold him.
This is not a guide. Not a brand. Not a TED Talk dressed as trauma.
It’s what happens when someone finally stops performing and starts speaking.
If you’ve ever felt unseen in spaces that claimed to welcome you, this book is your mirror.
And if it makes you uncomfortable?
Good.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Fuck That is a raw, fictionalized memoir of mixed-race identity in white America. Told in a poetic, unfiltered voice, it follows Michael Smith, a man too Black for white spaces, too white for Black ones, who survives by code-switching, masking, and shrinking himself to fit. Raised by a white mother in a rural town, Michael learns early that safety means silence, and success means performance.As he grows, so does the cost of his compliance: in the classroom, in corporate boardrooms, in the quiet rooms where truth dies for the sake of comfort. When he's tapped to lead a company's diversity initiative, he realizes they don't want change, they want optics. They want his skin, not his voice.This is not a story of healing. It's not a lesson. It's a reckoning.For readers of Ta-Nehisi Coates, Austin Channing Brown, and those caught between identities, Fuck That refuses to translate or ask permission. It doesn't aim to inspire. It aims to speak plainly-and burn what needs to burn. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.
