She's very good at making sweeping statements and pretending they're fact without a lick of support evidence.

Her "logical framework" is primarily emotions-driven, as she gets the reader worked up over a topic and moves to a tangential topic without ever justifying the connection.

Overall, to love this book is to embrace a worldview designed to keep you comfortable rather than one that exposes you to how racism, or any bias, works inside of a social system.(less)
