A fantastic book that presents a great wealth of knowledge and tools for White people looking to be better allies/anti-racists. "This book is not about unlearning racism. Unlearning racism makes it easier for people of color to live and work with us, but it doesn't necessarily challenge racist structures. Unlearning racism may or may not be a path toward eliminating racism. In a society where individual growth is often not only the starting place, but also the end point of discussion, strategies for unlearning racism often end in complacency and inaction... Illegal aliens. The use of the word *illegal* in this context is racist. No one is intrinsically illegal, and white people would never be described this way. When someone robs a bank or commits a murder, we do not say they are illegal; we say they have committed an illegal act...Which immigrants are legal or illegal at any particular time has always been a function of racially determined immigration policies... W.E.B. Du Bois was one of the first historians to note the impact racism had on both blacks and whites in the South. Because of slavery, there was no major labor movement to protect the region's 5 million poor whites, who owned no slaves, from being heavily exploited by the 8,000 largest slave owners. The availability of cheap slave labor undermined white workers' ability to bargain for higher wages and better working conditions. More recently, Michael Reich has demonstrated that, where the gap between the wages of blacks and whites is greatest, wages of whites are the lowest and profit to the wealthy the highest: 'Wages of white labor are lessened by racism because the fear of cheap and underemployed Black labor supply in the area is invoked by employers when labor presents its wage demands. Racial antagonisms on the shop floor deflect attention from labor grievances related to working conditions, permitting employers to cut costs. Racial divisions among labor prevent the development of united worker organizations both within the workplace and in the labor movement as a whole. As a result union strength and union militancy will be less the greater the extent of racism.'" #McGReads
