[Tony Ruble · Rating 4 out of 5]

Didn't realize how "racist" I was until I read this. It is very thought provoking and leaves you unhappy with racial relations as they are.

[Linus Thomas · Rating 4 out of 5]

It's a good book that questions and offers mechanisms to address white privilege, albeit from an Anabapist view point. Although I'm not Christian and much of it was outside of my understanding (Mennonite and Anabaptist culture are beyond my understand) it was still interesting.
