White fragility. The amount of bad reviews convinced me to buy this. If it makes you uncomfortable, it’s probably true.

Required Reading & Work. Do not let the one star reviews scare you away. This book, written by the amazing Layla F. Saad should be required reading for all white people. This book is not meant to divide and create further racism like some reviews suggest, but to be read and journaled about in your journey of dismantling your own racist notions. We as white people ALL benefit from white privilege and this book helps you understand how you have been complicit in a system that was set up to benefit white people. Read the book. Do the work. Ask the hard questions of yourself. Thank you for writing this Layla.

A must read. This book is so powerful and such an important read for any non-BIPOC. You will feel uncomfortable while reading it - that’s kind of the point. But you will learn so much that is essential to fighting the racism that is still very much alive in America.

Waste of money. I am convinced this book was written to pin one race against another. It does not preach harmony but points the finger at people with privilege and victimizes poc. I am Mexican and even I don’t agree with most of this book. I was raised to be kind to others and work for what I want. This is promoting prejudice against anyone with privilege and a “You’re either with me or against me” mentality. I am so sad that I bought this book instead of checking it out at a library.

Divide Much?. The solution to racial division in this country isn’t branding non-racist whites as racist. White privilege and institutional racism is a myth devised to place the American people against each other on the basis of race, and I am not guilty because of a few bad apples.

What we need. I’m guessing all of the one star reviews are from uncomfortable wyt folks that haven’t bothered to read this and unfortunately wouldn’t get it anyways. It is uncomfortable to face our own biases even when we think “I’m not a racist”, I probably would have said the phrase before. It’s not enough, I have to actively be anti-racist and listen to black voices to learn to be a true ally. Prepare to be uncomfortable and live in that discomfort, it’ll be okay my fellow vanilla beans, we can do better, we must do better. #blacklivesmatter

Thank you. I have used this to investigate myself and my biases, and though it is uncomfortable, it is essential.

Propaganda. Pure propaganda.

Nope. Another racist book about racism.

Nope. Racism on top of racism, the media portrays this outlook on certain types of people and y’all feeding into it. Controls what they want you to see and have you have that outlook/perspective on them.

Its funny. All of the negative reviews are from people who don’t understand what it is like to be a person of color is a world systemically promotes their oppression. Did you read the book or is your whiteness so fragile that you felt the need to come here and denounce something that is promoting equality?

Very Awakening. This was a great listen. I see the negative comments and that’s exactly what this book is trying to change. We can all do better.

A problem must be traced from its roots. All races were once slaves to another superior race at the time, it just happens that black people were slaves here in the US. However, slavery was started in Africa by black people who sold the black slaves to the US. citizens at the time,The white people who bought the slaves shouldn’t be blamed but the Black people who sold them should be shamed for selling lower class black people. Society needs to move on and learn the history of slavery before history repeats it self.

We can all be and do better. I shouldn’t be surprised by the negative reviews and the fear of personal growth people have. Some of the negative reviews don’t even know what W.Supremacy or the book is. I found this short book and it’s points clear, brilliant, and substantially useful. This book is an absolute gift. If you are willing to be conscious of your part in white supremacy and what you can do to change it, and you are prepared to take some uncomfortable steps to do so, then let this book be a guide. I plan to take this guide as I once did in counseling - to work on myself and become better. I will journal the prompts given, over and over to do better and better.

Well..... I appreciate the self reflection. I don’t think Saad should be a “starter book” on this topic. There are times when her anger comes out more than any other productive message, there are times when her logic is cyclic, and this book will likely increase your white guilt. I am white passing but raised in a biracial home where I was brought up Iranian Muslim and white Jehovahs Witness simultaneously. I was and am an outsider in a white dominant culture. I know what it’s like to be a representative, to wish the smallest things could be normal for me too. But the reality is I was raised to see the best in everyone, celebrate all cultures, and the way my parents talked to me about the dofferences in my world vs my peers is really different from Layla Saad’s mother. My parents didn’t say they wanted me to be the best, they told me they loved me for who I am. They didn’t sit me down at 7 and tell me I would have to work harder than my peers for the same attention, coloring my perceptions. Instead, when someone carved swasticas into the house my parents were building my parents just told us our new neighbors were scared and went to visit and help them feel better. Some people were weird for a long time, but my parents won them over not by conforming but by continuing to be themselves. And now I am 33 and although I still feel like an outsider, I get along with many MANY types of people. If you have something to celebrate, I’ll celebrate with you. And if you have something to grieve I am here to listen.

White supremacy is not a problem. In the U.S. Black Americans make up approximately 13 percent of the population and commit more than half of all violent crime in the country. This is based on FBI data composed of real individual crimes and is easy to verify. A white person in America is more likely to be murdered by a black person than a black person is to be murdered by a white person. Any ethnic or religious group or minority in America is more likely to be killed by a black person than a black person is to be killed by a member of that particular group. A police officer is more likely to be killed by a black American, than a black American is to be killed by a police officer. There are much greater problems in this country than the supposed “white supremacy” problem, so don’t take this woke propaganda seriously.

Incredible Book. If you are beginning your anti-racist work, this is a great book to learn and reflect about the anti-racist movement.

Extraordinary experience. Soul altering. Important. And in the end a new way to look at yourself, your experiences and the world.

Trash. Just more left wing propaganda. Can not recommend

Please read. You see the essential problem with this book is that if you are a white person that comes to read this with your mind open about the subject and willing to change this book deeply disappoints you. The book starts out telling you that if you are admitting you are a racist or are being complicit in the racism and are asking what to do, the writer of this book tells you that you will not like the awnser because you are lazy just because you are white. This should give you a basic idea of just how messed up this person i

You’re kidding me right???. Enough with division and segregation...we are all one people.

White People: This is Mandatory Reading. I was lucky enough to purchase this workbook from Layla several years ago, and again when it came out in book form. It is enlightening, uncomfortable, and essential to help dismantle racism. I have three, white sons and I want them to do better and be better.

Essential and Transformative. Layla Saad's work is one of the most important things I've ever read and engaged with. This will be a routine re-read and reference source for me, as the work she initiated and guided me through in this book continues forward in my life.

Complete joke. It’s a joke, all these people do are tell you your racist if you’re white. Even if you’re a second generation American it doesn’t matter because you’re white.

Invaluable Work. This book is work and SHOULD be a challenge to you. Being faced with your own privilege and digging deep into the racism rooted within you is hard when you are not ready to do the work. You must start this work with an open mind, an open heart, and an understanding that this is going to be uncomfortable, but that the work is worth it.

Incredibly Insightful. I highly recommend this to anyone wanting to examine their own inherent white supremacy and contribution to oppression of BIPOC. Incredibly informative and gives action items the white community can take to dismantle systemic racism. Absolutely worth the work.
