Summary:

Racism today is so subtle and ingrained that it is frequently not noticed by white people. That does not mean white people are bad. It means they have blind spots and the way they have taught their young has not changed in over a century. They often unconsciously have held that which prevents them from noticeably reducing negative skin color reactions. This book offers different and new ways to promoting the unlearning of that which continues racial and other injustices. Whites in particular have been silent about how our culture treats people with different skin colors. Let us explore whether we are willfully blind to it.--Preliminary remarks.
