This book does something extremely important - it specifically describes how racism underpins our ideas about ourselves and other races. And it brings you along through historical research, anecdotes, and logic. Systemic racism is a hard idea for a lot of people to understand and believe, but once you get it, you can use this knowledge to question the policies and behaviors of yourself and those around you. If you have one takeaway, that is it. Use your knowledge to enact change and be anti-racist. I saw one review that said “I don’t know what to do now” and the truth is, it starts with the reader - see the world with new eyes. Then, make decisions that are anti-racist. Brilliant book.

Honestly, I think this is the best show on stream right now. Perfect for passing the time during quarantine too. If you like when shows go deeper into contradictions, explore theoretical layers, and broach big questions, you'll like this one. The style reminds of Quentin Tarantino, so, you know, a bit of gore there too. If you're looking for something light and cheery - avoid! This is not for you.
