5.0
This is a quick read and I read and listened to the audiobook as well.
The author provides quick information and context on a variety of racism and racial topics, including the ever popular "but my family didn't have slaves!". He broke everything down into a quick history, what makes us (white people) uncomfortable about it and ways to help work to better things. I think this is another great introductory piece for white people who don't know where to begin in antiracism work.

challenging
informative
reflective
fast-paced
Really appreciated how both actionable and direct this book is. The inclusion of resources at the end of every chapter and the fact that it really does feel like a conversation (as well as its brevity) make it a great first step (or in my case a reminder) of how to be effectively anti racist, recognize biases and talk to others about theirs.
