Important information, but it could have been an essay. Black Americans in the United States who are the descendants of people who were enslaved have been given significantly less ability to rest than white Americans. The descendants of people who were treated as property are likely going to have complex relationships with owning property (i.e., a business), to say nothing of the difficulty under capitalism for Black people to acquire a business. That means they are disproportionately impacted by the work requirements that prohibit/restrict rest.

NTS: make a more consistent rating system.
I have more things to say about this book than there is book - sure, its short, but thats not why I have a lot to say about it.
In short (heh), this book would have been better executed as a Buzzfeed of Medium article. It was repetitive. Secondly, it was overtly religious and mystical which is simply not my bag. Had zero expectations and I was still surprised at how repetitive and flat it was.
Great message though! Just... you know.... reddit post next time?
