1. Not as good as it could have been - Being born and raised in France, I read this book hoping to get an insight into the American racial dynamics and understand the current situation better. As I read, I went from “she’s got a point” to “this can definitely apply in France” but I ended up wondering: who is the intended readership of this book? If white people are the target, I feel that beyond preaching to the choir, it will fail to convince people uncomfortable with discussing race to do so. When I got to the end of the book, the stance that is recommended is complete and total acceptance of a black persons’ viewpoint. The validity of the viewpoint notwithstanding, it is a losing strategy when trying to get people to discuss hard topics. Many points are asserted as facts without justification and may sound outlandish if you don’t already subscribe to them.
