Book 2 Post 1

 For book 2, I chose to read Just Us: An American Conversation by Claudia Rankine because I feel like I will be able to relate to it a lot. The excerpt tells us this book goes over some of the uncomfortable conversations Rankine has with others about racism. I've had conversations like this and they did not go well. I want to read about her conversations and learn what she gets from having them.  

I think this book could teach me a lot about uncomfortable conversations as a young black women. After reading this book, I hope I can learn how to have more conversations about racism without feeling uncomfortable or so exhausted. I really hope more people decide to read this story also, because it would be an interesting topic to talk about in class. Although it may be uncomfortable and show individuals true colors, it is important to talk about.
