Publisher's summary

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 multifaceted and nuanced, and many people aren't even aware that they have racist attitudes.

In this audiobook, you will hear about critical race theory and racism as a problem of not being White, rejecting responsibility, and seldom admitting white privilege.

a deeply flawed theory by deeply flawed thinkers

Update: after writing tis review i saw another which states that all the positive reviews of this book are fake. So i decided to take a look. They are absolutely 100% fake. Many of them biguously praise it and say things like "what a great story, was on the edge of my seat, did he or didn't he do it?". Now im no Sherlock Holmes but this book has no characters, no story, no mystery, it simply attempts to convince people that all whites are racist and all blacks their victim. So without any doubt, the positive reviews are ALL FAKE.


this book seems to presume white people are the physical embodiment of racism without even remotely recognizing the truth. all races that contain morons are bigoted against other races.
