as a black person, i couldn't read the book and couldn't watch this show. getting transported back to a plantation sounds so horrifying to me.

PREACH!

This type of stuff is better suited to guilty wypipo imo. They can feel good because they aren't slavemasters and their lives aren't as shitty as the child laborers in the Congo mining their cobalt for iPhones/Teslas/etc. - I mean, not as shitty as the slaves who ONLY existed hundreds of years ago.

I don't know if I agree with all of that. There are plenty of black people, mostly black people that I come in contact with actually, that love that book. Some of us just can't deal with these stories, though.
