In So You Want to Talk About Race, Editor at Large of The Establishment Ijeoma Oluo offers a contemporary, accessible take on the racial landscape in America, addressing head-on such issues as privilege, police brutality, intersectionality, micro-aggressions, the Black Lives Matter movement, and the "N" word. Perfectly positioned to bridge the gap between people of color and white Americans struggling with race complexities, Oluo answers the questions readers don't dare ask, and explains the concepts that continue to elude everyday Americans.
Oluo is an exceptional writer with a rare ability to be straightforward, funny, and effective in her coverage of sensitive, hyper-charged issues in America. Her messages are passionate but finely tuned, and crystalize ideas that would otherwise be vague by empowering them with aha-moment clarity. Her writing brings to mind voices like Ta-Nehisi Coates and Roxane Gay, and Jessica Valenti in Full Frontal Feminism, and a young Gloria Naylor, particularly in Naylor's seminal essay "The Meaning of a Word."

原文摘录

So how do you move forward in discussion of race when accusations of “reverse racism” and “racism against whites” start flying?
“I am talking about issues of systemic racism, which is measurably impacting the health, wealth, and safety of millions of people of color. What are you talking about right now?”
“What was said to you wasn’t okay, and should be addressed. But we are talking about two different things. Being called “cracker” hurts, may even be humiliating. But after those feelings fade, what measurable impact will it have on your life? On your ability to walk the streets safely? On your ability to get a job? How often has the word “cracker” been used to deny you services? What measurable impact has this word had on the lives of white Americans in general?”

WHEN SOMEBODY HAS PERPETRATED A MICROAGGRESSION against you, it can be hard to address. There is no guaranteed method for success that will make somebody realize what they are doing and stop, but here are a few strategies that work at least part of the time.
State what actually happened. “ You just assumed that I don’t speak English.” Say it directly. What is happening to you is real and you have every right to name it.
Ask some uncomfortable questions. Two of my favorites are “Why did you say that?” and “I don’t get it. Please clarify.”

No matter what your thoughts about this book are, I believe that we can all reach an agreement that race is an extremely treacherous terrain from which people rarely re-emerge unscathed. What makes a situation or a conversation race-related and what constit...

确实没什么新观点，也没有严密地论据，除了作者个人化的venting之外，更像是企业的DEI培训材料。 其实阅读时机还是挺重要的，如果是在2020年Floyd的事情刚出来的时候读这本书，可能打分会更高一点。

通俗生动又精辟地把很多问题讲得很清楚，同时个人的情感跃然纸上让人斗志昂扬。很多论述也普适于有长期强势弱势不对等的场景。
