The book is good. I recall the part you mention. I am still chewing over two parts. One, the line where he says anti-Blackness becomes anti-whiteness. (That’s my paraphrase.) I’m not sure what he means by whiteness. I side with Dr. Tressie McMillan Cottom who says the goal of antiracist work is to end whiteness. So, his statement there has me confused about whether that’s good or bad. And then second, he discusses structural racism impacting white people because their elected leaders made choices that made health care impossible. I can’t argue with that! I see that in the Flint Water Crisis. I just hadn’t made the connection to the term “structural racism” and it’s negative impact on some white people.
