So this audiobook is perfect for anyone with a strong understanding of the main topics, but we all need a refresher sometimes. It is also a great starter book for anyone wanting to learn more, be better, and learn! Blair makes us all smarter.
Many of the topics covered in this book are some of the issues dividing our country. It isn't that difficult. You don't need to "approve" of anyone but yourself. Move on, treat everyone with respect and dignity, and let's all live our lives!
This isn't about being woke or not woke. It is about basic human rights. It should be taught in all schools, but I am certain it is banned in some areas. Critical thinking and open-mindedness seem to be skills of the past, but this book will make you smarter!
