My mother literally gave me her copy and I was curious because the title is intentionally provocative.

It genuinely raises some valid arguments about white people's understanding of race and how people try to overcome race struggles, but I feel the majority of the book is less about trying to heal and build bridges of understanding with white people and more about "look at how they squirm and over-rationalise how they're not racist dude lmao" and at that point it does become irritating.

I suppose that's the point. Not a great read to be honest. If you were at all somewhat interested in books tackling race (there'll be at least someone on here), try something like Malcolm X's autobiography or Miles Davis' autobiography (yes, really). They offer more insight, understanding and respect to the reader.
