Why I'm No Longer Talking to White People about Race

This book by Reni Eddo-Lodge does what it says on the tin; a staunch and well-argued case for how race has been historically argued and understood so poorly by white people that people of colour may as well give up their hopes. Though that is not what Reni's argument concludes on, nor her career as a speaker on racial issues; it is clear throughout how white fragility conspires to minimize if not ignore the contributions on these topics made by the people affected by them. I won't summarize her points here - only say that if you are a white person, especially if you are a white person who doesn't "feel the benefit" of being so, you need to read this book.
