This book made me incredibly uncomfortable at times - mostly because of the use of the "n" word uncensored; I was listening to the book and I don't think I've ever heard that word (with a hard "r" sound) so many times! - but it also made me think.

I will definitely be referring back to this book in the future and I'll be recommending it to several people. I think it's biggest easy take-away is this list:

1. It is about race if a person of color thinks it is about race.
2. It is about race if it disproportionately or differently affects people of color.
3. It is about race if it fits into a broader pattern of events that disproportionately or differently affect people of color.

Note that I said "easy take-away" because there is so much more to this book, but if you read it in a half-assed manner and literally get just one thing from it, make it that list. Especially number one.
