SO MANY 5⭐️ READS! Blackout Buddy Read, Queer Blackathon, and my July TBR 🌈

I didn't care about this book I didn't care about the people involved I don't care about what was happening I just didn't care

this book may be one of the best books I've ever read in my life and I'm really not exaggerating this book deserves all of the stars

the main reason that I gave it four stars instead of five is that I felt the end was a little quickly wrapped up a little rushed and felt a little convenient

I really enjoyed this book I found it quite touching and I gave it four stars

to me the language feels quite lyrical the prose is quite nice

I would highly recommend me and white supremacy instead not only does her book cover all of the topics covered in white fragility including white fragility but it goes so much deeper and I find the journaling prompts really encourage you to do the work rather than just passively listening to the information

I found the language stunning the vocabulary the metaphors there was just something so magical about the language in this book I found the structure really interesting I found a number of the characters fascinating

this book was just so beautiful Zuri is our main character and she is so proud of her afro-latino roots and she is so strong yet vulnerable

overall really interesting I gave it four out of five stars a really good read

I found it fascinating I didn't solve the mystery before it was revealed at the end but I had a lot of fun trying to figure it out and like I said I gave it five stars

this story is so brief but it packs a really impactful punch it explores morality prejudice sacrifice and what it means to put a numerical value on someone's worthiness as a human being

I think it can be very valuable as a starting point for white people who are just now opening their eyes to anti racism who are very new to this discourse I think it can be a good primer for those people it is quite rudimentary there were some parts of the book that rubbed me the wrong way

I definitely had moments where I was struggling because it is quite dense and heavy as far as the information goes but I do think it's valuable I learned a lot about how the American system has come to be the way it is today
