This is a book I have had on my radar for a while, and I’m glad I finally picked it up. I really enjoyed the side notes the author gives throughout the book of edits he’s made to the original text and why. I think it’s a reminder that we all have the ability to make a conscious effort to shift our focus and thoughts when we may not be totally correct. I am wanting to continue to learn, grown, change, adapt, and whatever else I need to do in order to be a better person with all of the people around me and around the world. Being conscious of how I could be and have been racially biased in my thoughts and decisions and understanding that I can continue to make an effort to be better!

Hard to give it a review other than loving the style of point-counterpoint-countercounterpoint that informs one’s evolution and attachment to racist and antiracist ideas.

I found this book really hard to read to start with, but switching to the audiobook made it much easier to consume. A really nuanced look at racism in its many facets. I was frustrated that all the definitions included racism and anti racism in both the description and their titles, which made me mark it down a touch. I was also frustrated at the slights at people’s weights which very occasionally happened, it seemed really at odds at the inclusion messaging.

I read this book as part of the ABC book challenge. I am glad I picked this one. It is a must read and I couldn't put it down. I love how he frames his talking points and his thesis.

I liked the ending allegory of racism to cancer.
