This is a serious topic told in a somewhat unserious way. Harriot has a way of telling the horrible history in a relatable way and with a little humor to break up the topics. It's not too heavy, but it tells the truth at the same time. Having the little Racist Baby dumbs down the topics enough to be understandable in easy terms while also calling you an idiot.

incredibly well-researched, humorous but not blasé, rooted in memoir-like vignettes of Harriot’s family, and sprinkled with prose. The writing is high quality, varied, and engaging. I love the way Harriot sometimes waits to reveals the identity of the person whose story he is telling, almost like a mystery book. An excellent review of Black (American) history, and love the required and recommended reading lists at the end too.
