Bryant uses this second installment to continue to critically examine and explain the problems associated with the systems of white supremacy, white privilege and the Prison Industrial Complex. He also provides insight on how the lack of diversity and inclusion efforts at predominately white institutions of higher learning and within the work force negatively and disproportionately impact Black people.
