> "If, however, I understand racism as a system into which I was socialized, I can receive feedback on my problematic racial patterns as a helpful way to support my learning and growth.” With stuff like this it can be helpful to change the hot button hand grenade word to something less emotional. So change racism to "dysfunctional family behavior" or "alcoholism" and imagine the statement is discussing recovery. Does it sound reasonable now? I haven't read this book so I can't comment about it overall. I would say that for hot button issues like this I am inclined to reserve judgment until I read the actual book.
