History I love. I think the part I will like the most would be when the author talks about things more today then in the past.

From the title of the book, I could already tell this was about slavery, racism, and the overall mistreatment of the African American community. Still, I've read many works of fiction on this subject matter. Stories are often the best communication tools, so more on this subject wouldn't hurt. Congrats on BOTD.

From a sampling, this book focuses on the topics of slavery and voter rights for African Americans and covers current topics such as COVID-19 and certain movements and recent elections. While this book might not be for everyone, for some it might be worth a second look.

This book sheds light on the author’s sentiments about racism in America. She expressed them through various ways, like writing poems and sharing her experiences. There also some insightful information about current social issues, like the COVID-19, Black Lives Matter Movement, and the 2020 American election. Congrats on BOTD!

What is interesting about this book is that it goes from times long ago right up till the present and highlights many current events which are affecting us today. I will pass on this book as it is too emotionally charged for me at present, but thank you for a very fair and informative review.

'Official Review: My Fellow Americans: I Am an Angry, Tired, Black Woman' by Marjorie J Frazier is positive and informative! It presents the complete structure of the contents of the book for readers! The theme of the book of racism and slavery focussed on in the review gives the avid readers an idea of the social conditions of present America. The point that all the details provided in the book were well researched and accurate is worth mentioning in the review! Nice to learn that the book is an enjoyable read!

The review was written very well. My only exception is the statement, that some of the things written about the former occupant of the White House were controversial. He is controversial. I am glad that it didn’t deter you from completing the book. We all have our opinions. I have added it to my bookshelf.

I love the fact the author's thoughts and views are controversial. Vanilla books are boring! I'm going to read this one because now I'm curious to hear her opinion. Thanks for the review!

I thought this is nonfiction. I wish the review touched on the author's tone—if the author's emotions were kept in check despite the title indicating strong emotions. I like that there's a warning about the take on Trump. I'm staying away from stuff about Trump so I'll put this one at the bottom of the to-read list. Thank you for the review.

Now, this is what I want to read. The author talks about current events involving racism, while also talking about its long history that involves the past presidents. I also love that there are poems in this. Out of all the people that writes about this, it is a Black woman that I would listen to.
