2020: A valuable and thorough resource for anyone looking to be able to speak about race and racism today, and in particular, anyone who grew up benefiting from racist institutions (looking at you, white people).

This book is not as "beginner" level as I thought it might be; I thought perhaps her publishers would want Oluo to spend more time catering to white folks, arguably her target audience. But Oluo cuts her readers NO slack, and wants you to be on board from the get-go as she goes deep into the heart of the matter. She wastes no time in expressing how serious and important these discussions are to have - because they are! Next steps for me include getting my father to read this book.

I was SO pleased to hear that it was Bahni Turpin narrating once again! This is my fifth (!) book narrated by her that I've had the pleasure of listening to, and I cannot wait to find my next one. Give that woman all the awards please.

Honestly, don't listen to a word I say, just go read all of Oluo's.
