WOW

So you want to talk about race by Ijeoma Oluo; 2018; $27.00; 242 pages; Seal Press, New York, NY; 978-1-58005-677-9;checked out from Multnomah County Library, Gresham; 11/5/19-11/13/19

A very forthright book on how racism is not necessarily an individual act, but a cumulative effect from a lifetime of racist actions perpetuated by a system that was designed to elevate one group and subjugate many others.  It also talks about the intersectionality of many different kinds of discrimination.  A very good book that anyone who wants to understand what is being talked about and wants to help things change for the better.  10/10
