In that case, I'd definitely recommend Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates. It's written as a letter to his son about growing up black in the US and it's the best book I've read recently about the topic.
That one is good, but honestly, read Ta-Nehisi Coates' two most recent books. We Were Eight Years in Power as well as Between the World and Me.
The first one is several fantastic essays about black issues and the black experience in America. The second is written as a letter to his son about what it means to be black in America. They are very eye opening. Toni Morrison called BTWAM "required reading" for every American and I'd agree for both books. They're not too long and a great resource for understanding the Black experience written by a modern public intellectual at the pinnacle of his power. Seriously, the dude writes extremely well.
>Have they encouraged black people to become police officers? Nope
Actually, Yup!
>The plans calls for . . . having the racial makeup of police departments reflect the communities they serve.
Which includes BLM encouraging black people to become police officers. If you had any real familiarity with BLM you'd know that encouraging black people to become police officers (which, make no mistake, is your advice to black people on how to protest) is a HUGE part of BLM.
I implore you to read Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates.
Read it or listen to the audiobook and get back to me. Give me your e-mail address and I'll even send you the audiobook on Audible. I'm not joking.
