The book is an interesting read which explores the patterns of being black in a white society.
These are the key message from the book
1. White people in America are somewhat programmed in acquiring a set of racist assumptions
2. When these assumptions are challenged they tend to act emotionally
3. When the topic of racism is raised it is advisable to embrace your discomfort
4. If you are white, keep in mind the true nature of racism
5. If you are black know that it is the responsibility of whites to do the work themselves in coming to terms with their view on racism
