again i think about how the people at the top of the patriarchy (white men) have employed it to demonise black men specifically and it’s current social implications. everyone wants to appropriate black culture, talk in a slang they weren’t raised by because it’s cool- with none of the systematic oppressions that comes with being black

think i need to reread c5 for it to fully sink in

maybe i’m becoming somewhat of a man defender. i think this is the most formative book i’ve read and it really challenges my thinking and brings new perspectives in. loving it

love love hooks

loving this book already, already an instant classic in my bookshelf
