A powerful book full of the things that make me sad and crazy that we still live in a world that so devalues certain humans' lives. This is a book that you listen to (read), you don't pick apart. This is not just a book about facts, but also feelings. Feelings that generations upon generations black people have cemented in their psyche because generations upon generations of white people have made life a living hell for them. So a white person cannot tell Dyson, or other black people that their feelings are wrong because these are THEIR feelings. This is not about you. This is about them. If you disagree, if you don't like the way he “speaks” to you well I'm afraid that's on you. Because he is allowed, especially here, to speak his mind. We are here to listen. To absorb. Not to react about how it makes us feel.
