Pretty much. I doubt he can even spell uncomfortable on his own.

Bennett is a trash human being.

This book is just his way of actually voicing what makes him uncomfortable.

Example: saying killer cops make him uncomfortable is translated into Bennett being made uncomfortable by the presence of law enforcement.

The world would be a better place without him.

He is an opportunist, who lied, took advantage of misguided morons and now is cashing in. And yes, I’m talking about Bennett.

Product description from Amazon:

quote:

Michael Bennett is a Super Bowl Champion, a three-time Pro Bowl defensive end, a fearless activist, a feminist, a grassroots philanthropist, an organizer, and a change maker. He's also one of the most scathingly humorous athletes on the planet, and he wants to make you uncomfortable. Bennett adds his unmistakable voice to discussions of racism and police violence, Black athletes and their relationship to powerful institutions like the NCAA and the NFL, the role of protest in history, and the responsibilities of athletes as role models to speak out against injustice. Following in the footsteps of activist-athletes from Muhammad Ali to Colin Kaepernick, Bennett demonstrates his outspoken leadership both on and off the field. Written with award-winning sportswriter and author Dave Zirin, Things that Make White People Uncomfortable is a sports book for our turbulent times, a memoir, and a manifesto as hilarious and engaging as it is illuminating.

I can already tell this book and thread is one thing that make white people uncomfortable.

What makes me uncomfortable is living in a racist society that treat black folk like children by not explaining to them that the most unsophisticated white person on earth will know more about "what make white people uncomfortable" than any black man or woman will ever know.
