A great little book about racism written with good humor. It gently skewers subtle racist behaviors and definitely taught me a couple of things with some laughter. A quick read, so don't start it late at night, because you'll read the whole thing and next thing you know it's 3 am. Oops.

Powerful, timely opening quote from MLK (from 1958--sad that it remains so very applicable today).

Hysterical, short & informative. Simien deconstructs a lot of nuances about modern racism & "post-racial America" w/dry wit & humor. Includes tidbits on Black iconography & how society continues to devalue Black culture & people w/micro-aggressions. A valuable, fun read--you'll learn a lot! ?? #BlackLivesMatter
