Do yourself a favor and just read the book. Frankly, I don't think I have the words to describe how beneficial and eye-opening Kendi's book is.

Quick note on the content warnings -- this is a nonfiction book. Very few of these are explicitly described without the unpacking/dismantling of the reasons why it happens/what we can do about it, and I wouldn't strictly describe most of the content used as "graphic". It's definitely presented differently than a typical piece of media. That being said, be aware that this book covers heavy topics, probably because it's an antiracism book. Of course various types of prejudice are getting explored
