Unabridged Audiobook
Look. I tried to gut it out. I really did. I kept listening despite the fact that this white woman author doesn't even remotely comprehend the existence of, let alone ongoing relevance of; The Middle Passage, chattel slavery in the American South, Jim Crow Segregation in the American south, institutionalized racism and white supremacy in the American south (and these United States) - DESPITE describing how all these factors work (to create the socio economic realities she claims to be focused on) in MINUTE detail. I kept listening bc, although the author clearly doesn't understand anything she was still, actually, describing it. that is until she claimed WHITE PEOPLE BROUGHT THE BANJO AND FIDDLE TO VIRGINIA. This book is a work of white supremacist propaganda. I will be removing this author from my reading/listening library. no one has time for this kind of ridiculous ignorance at this late stage in America.
