So I'm fully aware that I've barely scratched the surface of this issue. This book is definitely a needed step for white people to begin properly addressing systemic and internalized racism head on.

As the book states, albeit in better words, racism is a white problem. We need to be the ones to fix it. And we do that one step at a time. It will be an ongoing and lifelong process, but it is a worthwhile process.

To all the POC in my life, if I do or say something racist, please call me out promptly if you have the spoons and comfort level to do so. I promise to keep my white fragility in check, learn from what I did wrong, and do better going forward.

Note: This book is written by a white woman. That is problematic in some respects and she acknowledges that within the book.
