Re: racism: "It is not fluid and does not change direction simply because a few individuals of color manage to excel." - Robin DiAngelo

I've always been bothered by the term "reverse racism" but always failed to fully understand why. DiAngelo puts it perfectly and succinctly.

The target audience for this book is educators and workplace leaders. I belong to neither of these categories but found it a good read nonetheless. She is very insightful on how racism is experienced by black people of different ages and socioeconomic statuses as well as by other minority groups. The history of racism in our country and policies that she provides is enough to make this worth the read.

My first post, so I hope I'm doing this right!

I've been wanting to read this book for a long time so when ThriftBooks suggested it, I took it as a sign that now was the time. I'm neither Black nor White, but do feel that there is always more that I can learn. I'm about halfway through the book and so far it's been very informative and interesting.
