Pretty sure a divorce is impending after my partner’s eyes bugged out of his head when he read the part of the preface where I explain to white readers what to do with my book and he said, “Why don’t you save your word count and say, ‘White scholars, don’t buy my book.’”

Now I am having every sentence read to me and rated for how confrontational it is.

Oh no, he got to the “Columbusing” sentence.

“Do you want every white person you know to refuse to work with you ever again?”

“Not all white people.” Damn, we got bingo. And a divorce lawyer.

Lord, good thing he didn’t read what I *didnt* commit to Google Doc

Have just sent him to the farmer’s market to pick up the CSA and think about what he has done.

Don’t let your white partner read Kendi’s How to Be Antiracist because it will be used against you is the moral of this story.
