Review:
This was excellent and I have nothing but good things to say about it.

There's a reason so many people think this book is amazing; it breaks down a complicated and complex issue into pieces and takes a look at each piece, explaining what's going on, why it matters and how to talk about it. It has a conversational writing style that makes it easy to read and easy to understand. There is a lot of information in here, but it doesn't feel overwhelming, which is quite a feat.

I think what makes this book so good is that it's very grounded and we often get personal stories from the author, but the book also builds up to the fact that racism is a structural problem and a really big one. The book does focus mainly on America, but I think most of this is pretty universal and you can learn from it wherever you are and wherever you live.

I can't really say much more than that I would highly recommend it; I think this can be a beneficial and educational read for anyone.
