### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    It was, okay. Just okay...
  

*by M***S on Reviewed in the United States on October 11, 2018*

Half of me loved this book, while the other half of me hated it. I had a love/hate relationship while reading this book. For starters, Tim Wise is a Liberal for sure. Since I’m a Conservative, some of his view points clashed HARD with mine. Still I pushed on and got through the book. He said a lot of things I loved, and he said a lot of things I hated. It was dry at times... Be prepared for a lot of statistics and RANTS! Be ready for profanity as well. However there were some times where Tim really did shine and his knowledge and insight were like a beacon of light in the darkness. The book is not bad by any means. It was very interesting to dive into the liberal mind and try to understand their perspective on things. Overall the book is a solid mix is rants, knowledge, profanity and facts. Be prepared for a journey.

    A good treatment of white privilege
  

*by Y***P on Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2018*

I’ve had this book for two year and just decided to read it. As an African American, reconceptualizing the impact of racism and whiteness as an issue for white people was useful for me. It frames systemic oppression as a problem for everyone and not just for people of color. I appreciate they charges/challenges  set forth for how readers can approach this work.  I will likely read this again.

    Practice What You Preach
  

*by M***Z on Reviewed in the United States on November 6, 2020*

I'm a liberal. I read this book because I wanted to start to better understand how to become more antiracist and more aware of my own white privilege. But I found this book hard to get through for several reasons. The part that bothers me the most is his own derision in his descriptions of those he considers (or definitely are) racist. Here's an example:On page 146, location 2068, he writes about David Duke:"Frankly, his high-pitched nasally whine and his slickeddown mop of hair – along with a squirrelly moustache that looked like a ferret perched on his upper lip – had always made him appear as an underfed Aldolf Hitler, which, come to think of it, is probably what he’d been going for."Now, I'm no fan of Duke in any form or fashion. And I understand how strong Wise's feelings are against Duke and all he stands for. But WHY must he describe Duke in such terms? Isn't talking about the actions of such a racist enough? Why must he also belittle the man's looks?This is only one example of many when Wise's descriptions of those he opposes shows his distain in such verbally abusively ways. If you want to make a point about how to be a reasonable person with constructive criticisms and enlightened lessons to teach others, you really ought to start with being an example of civility and respect for others. This kind of bullying description of those people he opposes made me squirm. I nearly put the book down several times because it hit so far below the belt.But I persisted to the end, because I want to learn from someone who has been on the forefront of the antiracist movement for many years.Another reason I gave this book a low rating is for the quality of the writing. His story could have been edited in a way that could be much more engaging. One of the first things you learn as a writer is to "show, don't tell." His examples always felt one-sided and with lots of personal commentary, rather than showing what happened in those lectures and allowing readers to come to our own conclusions. And though he did give examples where he allowed his own privilege to help in in some situations, rarely did he point out his own mistakes where his white privilege tripped him up. He was very quick to point out how others with good intentions trip up.The best chapter in the book was at the end when he described how he is coaching his children to be critical thinkers. He showed how he is leading his kids through the process of learning to be inclusive. I wish more of the book was like that.
