Uneven But Powerful submitted by sdunav on June 27, 2016, 6:17pm I was going to give this 4 stars - because it was a bit disjointed and the writing didn't blow me away - but then I read the essay "Kanye West and HaLester Myers Are Better at Their Jobs..." - which is all about misogyny, especially Black misogyny - and I had to give this horribly honest memoir/criticism of American culture & politics 5 stars.
