to the (non-black, particularly white) people that say this is just a useless letter written by an angry black man (as i have seen in many reviews), FUCK YOU. i hope your pillows are always warm and live the rest of your days as you deserve.

the author wrote this letter to his black son. it was moving, dark and beautifully written. it is incredibly heartbreaking it had to be written in the first place. everyone should read this at least once.
