White people should read this
This is one of the greatest history books I've ever read. I was highlighting passages on pretty much every page, mostly because so much of what's here was new to me. Hey, I'm an upper middle class white guy who's trying to examine my own privileges, understand more of why there's so much racism in this country and learn how I can do better. This book, which was undoubtedly extremely difficult to write, is an amazing resource, one I'll be referring back to probably for the rest of my life. We all owe Ibram X. Kendi a tremendous debt.
