"I want to quote the entire last two pages I read. I will settle with "You. Are. Not. White."
I am loving the use of visual space to emphasize certain points. The way some parts are formatted like a poem, the larger font, the left vs right text alignment. I also enjoy the citations, this guy isn't just saying shit, he has the receipts to back it up.
If everyone could go read the 1st 2 pgs of ch 2 thatd be great." — Jan 30, 2026 09:50AM
