The first chapter made me interested in the history and present day experiences of Black British. Living in the states, I have a pretty solid understanding of the fuckery that is systemic racism in America, but I didn’t realize how differently people were educated in Britain about their history.

my toxic trait is reading the reviews to this, clicking on the profiles that rate it 1 star and seeing its a white person lol
people that are are offended - even just by the title - by this book must not understand the whole basis is to raise awareness about the blind offensiveness that occurs every day to black people SORRY you’ve suddenly become a minority !!! what a shame !!?
anyways - a great * and small* almost introduction to racism and great stats to go with it keeping it forever to refer to
future self: dont read the reviews n get annoyed

I’m gifting this book to all my white friends. Starting with the ones who crack racist jokes because “it’s just a joke”.

I loved how concise this book was in it's language. All the points were very well explained with case studies. I loved reading a book about racism from a British POV. A point Eddo-Lodge made was that most histories on racism is dominated by the American perspective, and while it is relevant, it brushes over Britain's horrible past with racism. 10/10 book.
