Status Updates From Nice Racism: How Progressiv...

Ok well the two other books I thought I might want to read are 25+ hours long so while I think on that I’ll listen to this.

60% in and I think we are finally talking about things based on the title. Up until this point I think she has been beating around the bush. The only reason I got this far is because I didn’t feel like scrolling to figure out what other book to listen to at the time.

New title "the virtue of virtue signaling under the burden of white guilt." She doesn't specify what her past racist actions were nor what steps she took to become less racist, but this book is sooo pandering to white people who want to be "involved" have a sprinkle of black friends but can barely muster the bare minimum. They say stuff "I hear you" or "I understand where you're coming from" but like do you?

Are we really gonna talk about racism without including the people it affects the most? Fr?

To be "less white".......

I'm 3% in, the author has already managed center their white guilt within the framework of "understanding" racism. She mentions her black friend but kind of co-ops her experience as a teachable moment towards non allies,while expecting her flowers because she named dropped James Baldwin and Dubois. The title should have been "the burden of living and overcoming white guilt," It's not looking good, y'all
