I started reading this book during the 2020s and I got to the part where it talks about the White Flight and the hardships Black people faced when they moved to the suburbs. It focused on one story specifically and ended the chapter recounting the harassment and constant assault this individual's family faced. He had to move his family back to the city and had to pay two rents because nobody would buy his house from him due to racism and he grew poor keeping up with all the bills and committed suicide. At the time I was reading this book, I was following a story about a Black woman in Ohio who's neighbors were constantly harassing her and her children. They were getting the town to turn on her. Her hateful neighbors' influence was so strong, they wouldn't even pick up her trash. They would walk around and near her house with guns at all times of the day and night. The police wouldn't help her and it got to the point where she came to the internet for help and random Black men would come and guard her house at night. So after finishing that chapter (I believe it was the 2nd) I bawled and put the book down for a while. 

When I picked it back up, after reading more literature similar to this, I felt like this was a book for white people who were starting their journey to being more aware and educated. I still feel like this today, but I will eventually go back and finish.
