Every white person should read this book. It shows that no matter what your intentions are, things you say and do as a white person can be extremely harmful. Racism is engrained in our society and we have to be intentional on fixing that. And that means unlearning the hateful words and behaviors that have been forced upon us from society. We have to be intentional to change our ways.

Also, cops need major reform. Everywhere. All of them. They have to stop killing black and other people of color.
