“When we look at how [football] has embraced violence, undermined workers, and exploited people of color - what could be more American than that?”

This book was excellent and heartbreaking. After my experience serving as an elected official in state government and as part of a gubernatorial cabinet, I witnessed so much of this first hand and found myself yelling "YES! This is EXACTLY what happens!" way more often than even I expected. I highly recommend.

This book is really well-written, but also an intense read. I ended up skimming it because I wasn't in a place to sit with the heaviness of the threats & hold that white name supremacy/entitlement have over our society.

Well researched and informative. Personal stories really drove home certain points.

This shit is spot-on and just fucking squashes me, but reading it in Oluo’s voice lit up my brain. Somehow I found myself laughing and crying and energized all in the same sitting. I’m not hopeful for change on a grand scale (because humans), but I sure as hell felt comfort in Oluo’s insights and writing style.

I really just enjoy the way Ijeoma frames her discussion of her topics. Overall I enjoyed it and I learned a lot.
