Review of 'So you want to talk about race' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

"There is no way you can inherit white privilege from birth, learn racist white supremacist history in schools, consume racist and white supremacist movies and films, work in a racist and white supremacist workforce, and vote for racist and white supremacist governments and not be racist."

This is the simple obvious truth about why all white persons in the western world are racist, even when we try not to be. There is so much we need to unlearn, so much we need to learn and so much we need to change before this problem can be solved.

This book could be a good starting point, it's blunt and honest, direct and filled with empathy towards all people involved including white people. I put down this book feeling more hopeful, and hopefully also more enlightened, in questions concerning racism.
