This is definitely the best of Phoebe Robinson's 3 books, imo! I think she nailed the tone of funny but still serious while discussing the actual issues. In her other two books it seemed as though she was lauded for her deep take on "the -isms" but it felt very surface level to me, mostly on the comedic side whereas in this book she was spot on. A great quote demonstrating this: "Just like how all of Pitbull's songs sound the same (MR WORLDWIIIIDE), this tune of oppression, violence, gaslighting, and inequality is the same dusty ass song America has been playing for centuries. So how could anyone be surprised by the events of 2020?" And then she goes on to discuss the long history of police brutality and how police forces were started as a way to prevent and catch runaway slaves.

I also listened to the audiobook which added to the experience because, as always, her delivery is spot on. My favorite essays: We Don't Need Another White Savior and Yes, I Have Free Time Because I Don't Have Kids.
