4.0

Thick is a wonderfull collection of essays that explore the black experience in America and how racial inequality persists on the low in American society. The essays explore topics from the trend of Thick women in media, to thick whites who act as gatekeepers. Despite these serious topics, Cottom's personal experience add humor and make the essays easy to read page turners. If you ever wondered why America would elect Trump after Obama or why black women need to be overexperienced to land white jobs, this book will provide you with some of the answers.
