Haven't read it, and not super excited about reading it either. Something to add about racial tensions between blacks and whites in the U.S. is our history together before, during, and after the Civil War when whites enslaved blacks. That obviously happened and will forever create racial tension in our country. There are white people whose ancestors were never a part of that like me, with mine in Greece and Germany at that point, but at the same time I do benefit from economic progress in U.S. history due to slaves doing our hard work against their will regardless. 40 acres and a mule isn't much of an apology in the end, and so I will always have that tension to deal with. Anyway, interesting series- will read on!
