Words for which I sought help:
mendacious -- not telling the truth; lying
Review:
Sometimes it isn't easy to see something unless you experience it. White people did not experience it. Black people did. It was shocking to read the way that communities simply ignored Supreme Court rulings. Ridiculous that we, as Americans, are simply uncomfortable with the outcome and not moved to try to do something to make things right. It is hard to imagine how to fix the decades of loss, but that is pretty much the store of being black and living in America. People who do not understand what critical race theory embodies should take the time to learn what this book has to teach. It is clearly much simpler then all of critical race theory, but it is a tiny insight into one piece of undeniable racism that perpetuates problems today. What a thoroughly researched and well presented book. Well worth the time to read.
