"White Supremacy is this nation's oldest pyramid scheme. Even those who have lost everything to the scheme are still hanging in there, waiting for their turn to cash out. " - Ijeoma Oluo

Ijeoma Oluo has the knack of turning an extremely serious topic in an humorous and informative experience. With her, you'll definitely learn a lot about race but you'll also have an amusing time doing it. In So You Want to Talk About Race she dares to answer the questions most Americans are scared to ask and talks about what we can do in order to minimize the racial divide that is currently alive in America.

An honest book that won't hold anything back from you, you'll learn about America's racism without cutting out the uglier parts.
