Entertainingly paranoid

her arguments are so absurd that it is actually funny.
Unbelievable, how she projects racism into everything.
she speaks as if the world is white Team competing against black Team.

Auf den Punkt gebracht, ohne etwas schön zu reden

Ich habe viele Bücher über Antirassismus gelesen bzw gehört. Ich fand es großartig, dass die Autorin berichten konnte, ohne etwas zu minimieren oder sich selbst zu zensieren. Das liegt möglicherweise daran, dass sie selbst weiß ist. Schwarzen Autoren gelingt dieser Seilakt nicht immer, da sie Angst haben, ihr "weißes Publikum" zu verlieren. Ich würde es allen weiterempfehlen, die bereits einen Überblick in Rassismus haben und sich ihrer Position in der Gesellschaft klar sind.

this book can help to begin the healing

This book can begin the healing and truthful conversations we need to have about race. I am an African American man and speaking from my experience. If all of my white, loving, kind, intelligent, progressive friends all read this book then My ability to be open and and honest about my experience would be immensely strengthened allowing us to connect as friends and fellow humans even deeper and easier. If you believe that black lives matter or all lives matter or any variation of that I implore you to take the step of reading this book. it is a matter of life and death for people of color.

My future training tool book

This book has finally given me the toolbox that I need to run workshops and seminars that will help white people understand their actions. This book has also made me look at the table from the other side - the white people's perspective so that I am able to help guide them to understand where are their landmines and how they too can navigate in being more conscious on when they are being racial and also to understand that their actions leave scares on those people that they are directing it to. Thanks so much for this "toolbox"

Highly recommend this book to everyone

I really liked this book, how the author patiently describes the issue of systemic racism and why every white person should reflect on their behavior rather than assuming one is not racist and that it doesn't concern him/her. I hope that many will listen to it, internalize and use the learnings of this important book! Almost unthinkable if people would suddenly start interrupting racist behavior instead of protecting it, how things could really change for the better.

excellent, but not easy

it is enlightening and gave me a completely different perspective on many issues. it is not easy to take, sometimes difficult to understand, so I have to go back to former chapters to get the cest of it. Realizing that your intentions can be of minor importance in the view of the collective racism that we are born into is hard to digest. I have to keep learning.... Thank you@

Eine Zumutung für kritisch denkende Menschen

Ich brauchte über ein Jahr für dieses Hörbuch, derart unverdaulich ist dieses Werk. Die Ideologie der Autorin ist eine einzige Kafka-Trap. Mehr habe ich dazu nicht zu sagen.

Great content

Lots of content but such great analyses and explanations. Really feel stirred to learn about more about Racism, white fragility to fight it the right way, rather than supporting it.

I didn’t really enjoy the speaker, however the content made up for it.

Important message, horrible narrator

Couldn't really enjoy or learn very much from this book, since I wasn't able to warm up to the narrator. Sounded like a computer voice, and was therefore hard to follow. I will buy the book and read it myself.

Ganz okay..

Aber auch teilweise sehr repetitiv im Inhalt und die ständigen, langen Aufzählungen haben mich doch sehr genervt. Ich fand auch due Sprecherin nicht besonders gut. Man gewöhnt sich dran, aber am Anfang fand ich die Stimme sehr monoton. Ich habe allerdings auch keine Erfahrung mit Hörbüchern.
