What to do when you have a best selling book? Write a sequel, of course, and this time invite the whole family to join in!
Amber and Lacey continue their two woman charm offensive on America, in a delightful book that will almost certainly be read by well-intentioned progressives to reassure themselves that they aren’t like racist racist. Just the normal amount of racism that’s fed to all of us through our participation in white supremacy via living in America as a product of the capitalist hamster wheel that suppresses all of us. But in an unequal fashion. Have I said all of the words?
Joking aside, this book is hilarious and insightful and infuriating and bound to make even the most world-weary reader sit up at least once and do a spit take. I do in fact recommend abstaining from food and drink whilst reading this novel, lest said items end up in areas they aren’t meant to go. With the inclusion of the extended Ruffin clan, you have stories of racism starting from Ye Olde Days all the way to the present, and the only difference is in the amount of context you have to give to ensure that your audience gets the point (the point, being, racism).
Instead of banning books that promote white guilt, we should promote books like this. In a world where I were queen we’d all be required to read this book and then also read To Kill a Mockingbird. But then you have to be able to explain the latter with some critique.
