Summary of: Me and White Supremacy, By Layla F. Saad
SUMMARY OF ‘ME AND WHITE SUPREMACY,’ BY LAYLA F. SAAD. This SUMMARY has thoroughly explained Racism, types, forms and dimensions of racism in the existing world and how it faces both a benign and malignant neglect in the criminal justice system not just in America but all across the globe. How white supremacy has subjected the blacks and browns in white majority countries to sheer discrimination and indifference.
Furthermore it also highlights how Racism has cornered the migrants due to xenophobia and that it’s highly condemnable. Not just that, racism has deep roots in medical and health sector as well. Blacks and people of ethnical minorities are cornered when they suffer from any disease that incites a judgmental sentiment in the society whereas privileged class always gets away in such situations much easily. Laws made and implemented are also racist. The whole system, which on one hand talks about UN charters and Human Rights, completely dismisses all the facts and propagate racist ideas all around the world and social media and electronic media also aid their interests.
However, there are activists and enlightened class of the society almost everywhere which is resiliently working against all odds to subjugate the idea of Racism and racial discrimination for good.
American racism has always existed. In the United States, there are basically two categories of people. One is by class, and the other is by race. Some academic views believe that the promotion of class can transcend the limits of race, but in essence, the reason for race is caused by the inner superiority of the ruling race (here, white), and it is intensified by the interests and social environment. In the end, it turned into a very superficial issue, looking only at skin color. So no matter how noble you are, the first reaction a black person brings to others is linked to such terms as low education level, hidden social security risks, and lack of middle-class upbringing. This is certainly not fair, but because it has too deep a historical basis, it is impossible to change it all at once.

Poorly edited
This a comment on the summary, not the original book. Unlike previous Kindle summaries I’ve read this one is poorly edited and at places descends into gibberish. I cannot judge the clarity of the book because of the murkiness of the summary. Please redo.
