Review # 1 was written on 2015-02-14 00:00:00 Dwayne Coleman I would recommend this book to a person that does not know anything about people from other cultures, skin tone, religion or different lifestyles but yet is open to learn; whereas, if you're of the belief that just because the U.S. has a black president it means that racism is over, then you will struggle with this book constantly, and most likely you ignore how ANYBODY can be discriminated against based on body weight, age, religion, social class, your accent, etc. If you struggle, I would suggest that you quit, read the Spark Notes, pass your class, and maybe read it again 10 years later. This book enables you to search deeper on why, for example, sometimes you just don't like SOME people, or SOME people just seem more rude than others, all those little interactions with people in your life that did not really have an explanation for, you did not quite know what that was called, or just something, somehow seems unjust on how your child was treated at school, I would say this is your book. I never quite understood cultural appropriation or the institutional damage of stereotypes or labels until I read this. This is not a book for those that can't take a walk in someone else's shoes.
