Eye-opening for sure.  I'm still struggling with some racist thoughts apparently, and unfortunately.  

I disagree with his assessment of what an activist is. In Chapter 16, he defines "Activist: one who has a record of power or policy change."  I have little to no power but I try to be an activist in any small way I can as a disabled person.

I found this book challenging but informative. It is a genre I’m not usually engaging with, and it was nice reading about the experience of Black Americans through an informed and honest eye. The only reason I rate this lower is the emphasis on terminology..I understand the importance of getting these topics right, but I would have appreciated less picking apart of the language and more on his lived experience.

12/5⭐s. Ibram X. Kendi is IT, folks. I will unquestioningly consume everything he puts out, up to and including his computer post-it notes. I bet they would be everything. All that being said, I really really really really love How To Be An Antiracist. An engaging mix of historical fact, personal experience, and antiracist philosophy, I definitely highlighted the vast majority of this book and will be pressing it into anyone's hands who will receive it.
