Thanks for sharing. It's encouraging to see people who seem to write truth that happens to be controversial rather than the other way around. Looking forward to seeing what resources you recommend. I think it's difficult for a lot of young people in rural America to see the effects of systemic racism, especially when they see poor whites treated similarly by the powers that be, but it's a reality we need to awaken to. People who do their part to expose it without resorting to generalizing, putting people down, or clockbaiting are so important.

Thanks so much! I think you are spot on about the realities of rural America--Wendell Berry speaks a lot about this in his most recent work "The Need to be Whole," but I still haven't been able to read much of it. Grateful for you reading!
