alyshadeshae 's review for:
Between the World and Me
by Ta-Nehisi Coates
I feel unable to review this book. It was not written for me. It was not necessarily even intended for me to possibly read it. This powerful message is written as a letter to his son, but I imagine speaks to all black people and, to a lesser extent, other peoples of color.
Read this book. Regardless of what color you are, read this. It's important. If you're in a position of power, read it twice. If you're in law enforcement, memorize it.
I am a white woman trying to understand more of the world I live in. I see racism, both casual and systematic, on a regular basis down here in Louisiana. It's a terrible part of reality. As Coates stated, one person can't change everything, but I'm down here doing what I can from my position of privilege. I don't think we'll see a world without hatred in my lifetime, but we can get closer if we keep working at it.
