The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Everyone should celebrate Trump's racism by reading some of these books this month.

Black AF History: The Un-Whitewashed Story of America is written and narrated by Michael Harriot. Harriot puts the contributions of Black people and other people of color into the context of the inherent racism of the United States from chattel slavery, reconstruction, the Jim Crow era, and into recent and current events. He uses standard historical practices of original sources, and oral histories, as well as anecdotes from his family's history. While many parts of the book are deeply disturbing, Harriot uses humor in driving home his point that to make "a more perfect union" it will only be done with and by including all people in the effort.

Stamped from the Beginning: The Definitive History of Racist Ideas in America by Ibram X. Kendi
or the YA version
Stamped: Racism, Antiracism, and You by Ibram X. Kendi & Jason Reynolds is not a history of Black American it is a look at where we are now and what can be done about it. The first book goes much deeper into the history of racism. Race is used to separate and silence people it affects every person's life. Both of these go into how to stamp out racist thoughts at the personal level.

Allow Me to Retort: A Black Guys Guide to the Constitution by Elie Mystal, narrated by author, is a reflection on and personal relationship with the inherent racism in the Constituition, the court system, the Senate, and the Electoral College.
