So You Want to Talk About Race by Ijeoma Oluo
5.0
I listened via Hoopla but the Oakland Public Library also has unlimited copies available as an audiobook to check out if you don't want to use your Hoopla credits.
As a book, this is approachable and she is good at explaining most of the academic-sounding terms surrounding race. She also tries to be inclusive of racism- that while in America it seems very white supremacy vs. Black people, it's also white supremacy vs. Native people, Asian people, Latinx people, Middle Eastern people, etc. And she also describes how white supremacy hurts white people too.
This was full of very good reminders and I'd do well (we all would) to return to this book regularly and re-examine my thoughts and actions.
