This was short, but something I would still recommend as a good jumping off point! I am so excited to see him host the Bachelor's after show and I will definitely be looking into his YouTube series next! The book definitely felt conversational and had a great voice to it.
I think the thing I like best about this book is the number of other books that he recommended on the topic for each chapter. Each chapter is precipitated by a question that he recieved from people. His answers are often centrist in an effort to include everyone and teach everyone. I loved the audiobook that included an interview and a few other extras.
This book is a great start to learning about what black people think and feel.
This is one of the books I will be purchasing copies of to hand out to friends who have not read it yet. It is written to be very easy to read for those who are just beginning their learning journey. You will come away with a long list of other books, essays, documentaries and organizations to check out as you continue. I definitely recommend it.
Content Note: There is one instance of the use of the f-word in the book. It is used in the context of a quote and is on page 65.
