The Black Friend: On Being a Better White Person
by Frederick Joseph
This is one of the most challenged books in America right now, by the people who should read it the most.
By people who think having black friends is racist. As if acknowledging race is the thing that’s racist, rather than the intentional removal of books that help kids of color feel seen.
Frederick Joseph has given white people a gift of clarity that should neither be overlooked nor under appreciated. And which has the power to change the world, if we let it.
If that kind of change makes you uncomfortable, sit with that. Then start using your privilege to be an accomplice.
