it was amazing
Read 2 times. Last read December 21, 2020 to December 25, 2020.

I want to clarify that this rating is in response to the rando that was clearly triggered by the title and gave it 3 stars, and not because I've read this book yet. Can't wait to read it when it's published, however, and I'm sure the 5 stars will stay that way!

EDIT 12/25/20: Alright I have now had the privilege of reading Ijeoma Oluo’s new book. She does a fantastic job of weaving together the seemingly disparate institutions in America and showing how ultimately entwined they are due to their upholding of white male supremacy with a conversational writing style backed up by facts and research. I hate that American politics now and historically have given Ijeoma Oluo cause to write this book, but she wrote it well. If you claim to care about issues of race and gender, this book should be a must read.

Chris P. Bacon Rating a book without reading it. Do better.


Bree knew your rating would be accurate margz. can’t wait to read this


Carlos HS This book should get the Nobel for "most reviews from triggered woke-bots who didn't even bother reading it".

PS: have you heard of the "five-star Karen"?

"conversational writing style backed up by facts and research" .... hahaha

Babs the Owl Manipulates star rating without reading book then expects us to listen to what she has to say 😒
