Why I’m No Longer Talking To White People About Race

"In a blog post in 2014, British journalist Reni Eddo-Lodge wrote that she would no longer talk about race with white people who “refuse to accept the legitimacy of structural racism and its symptoms.” The post went viral, and, fortunately for us, Eddo-Lodge went on to write this collection of essays about what it means to be a person of color in Britain. Don’t be put off by that geographical reference. You don’t have to live in the U.K. to recognize the issues of white privilege, class, feminism and structural racism that she explores in this essential book."
