With so much going on and people bringing up does racism really exist today. This is the best book I have found to open your eyes to how America does benefit whites more then any other race. This book will show you how some laws are racist in nature; meaning they target black people more so then whites. This book teaches you that if you really want to end racism it isn't just police brutality. We are in a racist system. Things like sending resources to black neighborhoods and black schools instead of giving white schools the best resources. Even the house market is racist. White people; are you willing to stop banks overvaluing your property so that they stop undervaluing black property? Things like this is why we have a racist system.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Brand New Crispy Book!By CustomerWhat can I say. I learned so much from this book!
