A review by andee_zomerman
Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates
4.0
I had to read a fiction story (The Hate U Give) to give me courage to read the non-fiction. I hate that black bodies being killed by cops is an issue. I hate that the 13th amendment didn't prove everyone is equal is some minds. I'm embarrassed by my white, upper class privilege. But I can't sit back and do nothing.
It's why I have to read books like this letter Coates wrote to his son. I need the information to arm myself with knowledge to fight back the "all lives matter" crowd. I hope one day Coates' son will write a story about how awful things were "back then" with a perspective that there is equity in the future.
