Much more thoughtful than the title suggests, though perhaps not less incendiary. This is a concise and well-cited survey of the backlash against civil rights throughout the history of the US, up until the election of Trump. A very good read for black history month.

If you aren’t full of rage, you will be after reading this. It’s a condensed view of how white people have fought to oppress Black folks throughout US history. The book starts shortly after chattel slavery ends and continues to near present day.
It’s a brief look at the white rage that continues to prevent Black people from equality.

This book got to me. It’s the truth and many times confronting the truth is uncomfortable. Certain parts of the book left me angry and ashamed of what we have done and continue to do as white people (as a collective, as we need to work on others to help influence change)in this country. This book should be required reading and it is a must read for anyone who is working on being an ally to the black and brown communities.
