For all our "white" friends out there who have an interest in Race; this is a fantastic insight to structures or systems of racialized western experience and the existence of race.
Better, because it's written by a 'brown' woman, an Asian-American immigrant, it does an amazing job illustrating how we become racialized, how we adopt the racial supremacy model as real, and how inescapable it really is for all of us.
Race does not hurt just 'colored' people or blacks - and there is no post-racial America happening. But, when you can grasp how fundamental it is to us.... you can see the way out.
AS the MAAFA instructs us, the only way out is to go back through.
Take a gander?
