Racism is alive and well in 2023. I recommend this book as food for thought.

Racism is alive and well in 2023. It is both systemic, and quiet, as well as, in fatal cases, loud. See George Floyd's Murder by Experienced Cop. It has evolved beyond public tree hangings, and the generally accepted mailing of postcards of lynchings as gifts/keepsakes via U.S Mail. It now includes choke holds, and knees, and gaslighting, and reverse psychology. Someone who has not experienced it personally and who also lacks a certain type of empathy and logic would not be an authority on whether or not racism exists in the U.S. and it's territories. I recommend this book as food for thought.
