Erasing Racism

The book examines systemic racism in America, particularly in the context of Barack Obama's election. It highlights the "wall of ignorance" that obscures the ongoing racial injustices faced by African Americans, contrasting their experiences with the perception of many whites who believe racism is largely a historical issue. The author details various forms of modern racism, such as discriminatory practices in law enforcement, housing, and healthcare, which contribute to a pervasive sense of frustration and resentment within the black community.
