Depressing stories about everyday racism told in a fun and accessible way. I just wish I had gotten this as an audiobook or even a podcast, because the conversation format didn’t really work as well for me in writing.

These stories were V funny but also disgusting/shocking/appalling/unbelievably stupid/every other word you can think of to describe racist behavior. An absolute must-read for anyone, especially those looking for antiracist literature. Amber narrates most of the audiobook and her delightful peppiness was much needed to get through these stories, but don't let that detract from how downright fucked up the people and instances in this book are. Racists suck, plain and simple.

I want to gift this book to everyone. I already know who the first one is going to. Well written, devastating, painfully funny. The stories in this book break your heart over and over but keep you reading.

Amber Ruffin is hilarious and I wish I was friends with her. She is a breath of fresh air and so frank it’s disturbing. Lacy is a role model to look up to no matter your age. These ladies make me wish I knew them growing up. The audio book had me in stitches at times.

I listened to the audiobook of this one, which is read by the authors. It was funny and difficult all at the same time. A great read (or listen) for anyone. You'll laugh, you'll feel sick to your stomach, you might even learn a few things.
