5.0

I was blown away by this book. There is so much here, so much broken down, so much explained in only 168 pages that it really is incredible.

This is one of the most important books that I've ever read and I would implore other white people who are trying to be better to read this book. There's a lot of work we have to do and a lot of times we don't know where to start. This is a great beginning. Robin DiAngelo goes in and goes in deep. Many, if not all of the reasons she gives to white people for shutting down racism or mentioning racism in conversations I have heard when discussing this topic. It felt very current and very real. It was so odd hearing someone say these things but also give good tips about how this way of thinking can be detrimental to society and how to work around it.

I will most likely read this again. there is so much here and so much to think about that another reading is worth it. I can definitely say for certain that this book had an impact that I wasn't prepared for. I feel ready to see where this takes me.
