About this ebook
It's past time for us to break down obstacles to success and education for people of color, to speak out against global social injustices, and to stop hiding behind the cliché, "I'm white, I can't speak out on the race." In our thoughts, acts, and words, we must be deliberately anti-racist. Someone who claims to be anti-racist may not laugh at a racist joke or remain silent when they hear a racist remark, but this does not make them anti-racist. One of the numerous issues with racism is that it manifests itself in a variety of ways. It has institutional and structural roots, is based on colonial history, and has been passed down through the generations like an unsightly relic. It's outspoken, red-faced, and enraged, and it's willing to assault you on the street. It's there in the absence of representation, in the 'banter' and 'harmless' comments, in the twitching fingers of white people who can't stop themselves from stroking Black people's hair. Racism is multi-faceted and nuanced, and many people aren't even aware that they have racist attitudes.
In this book, you will read about critical race theory and racism as a problem of not being white, rejecting responsibility, and seldom admitting white privilege

5 ratings3 reviews
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This writing explains in simple enough terms the important disadvantages and disastrous impact racism has on the individual, America and the world and it’s divisiveness. Good short read of an “opinion” to at least make one think!
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5I think the author has an unearned sense of moral superiority that outweighs any white person's unearned so called privilege

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5From question-begging to strawman-inventing, to a generally cynical view of the world and everything in it, this post-modern diatribe presents nothing helpful or constructive, instead choosing to merely criticize essentially everything about everything. The author chooses to see injustice and racism in the most ordinary of circumstances and actions and represents a myopic worldview completely useless for constructing or preserving the way of life and material standard that we all have come to enjoy in the modern world.
Let one critical race theorist create one thing of use or beauty, and it would be an astonishing achievement. Instead, they will likely to continue to produce a whiny, short-sighted, simplistic snark of a “book” that bites at the very hands that generated the society that feeds it.3 people found this helpful
