Nice White Ladies: The Truth about White Supremacy, Our Role in It, and How We Can Help Dismantle It by Jessie Daniels

5.0

Hey fellow Nice White Ladies -- give this a read. Then adjust your niceness levels that you perform for The Patriarchy to zero.

The evils of White Supremacy rely on our complicity, our literal willingness to play nice while black and brown bodies are hurt, warehoused, and killed.

I really appreciated the author's vulnerability, her willingness to share her own story, and her message to the rest of us -- we have a choice. We CAN change the systems of oppression we live in. Real change is possible.

If you don't read this book, there are numerous others on the topic of anti-racism and intersectional feminism. The more we educate ourselves, the more powerful we can become in the face of Patriarchy and White Supremacy's many ills. White Supremacy culture hurts white people, too.
