dark emotional informative reflective tense fast-paced

5.0

Definitely a must read to gain a better perspective of the Black Experience in the U.S. A way for me to branch and educate myself of how my black brothers and sisters go through in the world. Even if they reach a goal outside of what’s expected, they still feel the discrimination and racism from people’s unconscious biases.

Literally just amazing. Informative, emotional, profound and beautifully written. The book should speak for itself. The audiobook was 3 1/2 hours. At that length and with it's message everyone should read it.

Worth reading, worth listening to, and worth thinking about. Especially if the topic of race and racism makes you uncomfortable.
