I agree with reviews that tell us to read antiracist books by Black authors. I also agree though that white people need to do this work without making BIPOC people do all the work- and so this book is a good supplement to trying to reach out to white people. I’ve been a nice racist before and will continue to do nice racist things on my journey- and Diangelo as a white woman points that out and points us to other materials written by BIPOC people. If this is the only antiracist work white peoples want to do it’s not enough- I do gain insight though reading her perspective even after reading a lot of antiracist works.

Felt like no new information since I'd already read White Fragility. Starting to question the concept of white people leading the discussion on race. Would rather be reading info made available by black activists instead.

People think of racists as hood wearing, cross burning angry white men…but they’re only one end of the spectrum. The “nice” racists are more numerous and unknowingly uphold systems of racism. Look at your neighborhood, your school, your church, and your wedding photos. What do they look like and why? There might be unconscious biases at play.
An illuminating read. Liked it better than White Fragility, though I think both are well done and well researched.
