Wow. I should have but I honestly had no idea that Britain's structural racism was just as entrenched and damaging as that in the United States. Eddo-Lodge's well-researched, well-written, and absolutely, brilliantly, powerfully, profoundly honest, truthful, brutal, uncompromising (because -- let's all face it -- Black people worldwide have been forced into far more than their fair share of compromises), and generous sharing of history, perspective, and ideas.

Wow, there is such I didn’t know about British racism. I mean it all makes sense but from my American perspective I just had never thought much about it.
She makes so many amazing and thought provoking statements. I particularly like how she focuses the argument that racism is a white problem. That structural racism is a problem that white created, propagate and uphold making it our responsibility to question, dismantle and stop.
