Information I can use

For years I’ve wondered what I can do to fight racism in this country. If you care about this too then read this book. Be anti-racist. Be a partner not just an ally. Thank you for this book!

A MUST for the Reality about Blackness in America

This book covers every aspect of what it truly like to live while Black in America. You as a black person, will learn what you know and SO much of what has escape most of us because we have learned to adapt.

However, if we ate ever to live in a world free of racism we must tackle this beast head on because we as black people are neither inferior nor do we fit the blatant disgrace of a profile they painted for us.

Vicious, violent, dirty, lazy is actually the profile of those who made it for blacks. This book is an eye opener for those who seek truth.

Expanding the mind

As I listened, the journey of this author permeated my thoughts. What I thought on previously have been challenged by his words and experiences. Now, challenging me to think beyond the obvious. Life is given to all but living is given to those who pursue their dreams and share with others the power that propelled them to reach higher. Very thought provoking read.

Cognitive dissonance explained perfectly

Eloquently written gives the reader an insight into the behavior oriented approach regarding people who lack melanin…

Clear definitions, powerful examples, & added creativity!

This is a very approachable book! With a clear look at history for an understanding of current situations, which allows for the forward actions that the author invites us to explore!

Honest and heartbreaking

This book is an absolute must read. The honesty and truths of our past made me so upset, I had to take 2 weeks off from reading. The more I read, the more radical I become. The more I learn, the angrier I become. I am truly on my anti racist journey!

Very interesting and eye opening

I really enjoyed and appreciated this book. I learned so many things about myself and the way the African American experience has been shaped. I'll definitely share this with my family.

Excellent

Very good information. Listen to this twice in two days. Could not stop listening. Became quite remorseful at times. Upset because the country has reelected that nut Trump or he has found a way to cheat the system. LORD HELP US.

A Flashlight in the Darkness

An eye opening view of current issues that have plagued the black community for generations. We have not been able to erase these lies unless we are willing to educate ourselves, open our minds and be willing to put an action behind it. Thank you for moving the rock forward!!!

Relatable

Relatable in content, in comparisons, in terms of generational explanations, and clearly explains many concepts; which makes it easier to explain myself despite black fatigue.
