Perfect discussion at the perfect time! 2020-2021 has shown that Anti-Blackness and Anti-Asian sentiments are real and dangerous. I’d always hoped that Asian Americans would understand and support the realities of Black Americans like myself as we are both minorities but it’s been a rocky path to where we are now. And I nearly gave up on white Americans because they kept dumping the responsibility and work of getting woke back on their Black friends. Steph Cha is so correct that there’s no absolution and no easy way out. We can’t keep sweeping the dirt of history under the rug. But this has given me hope and I definitely have to read this book!
