Buy the Man-Not by Tommy Curry and read it, immediately. Take your time tho. It's dense, and heavy.
Beyond that:
From Here To Equality by Sandy Darity The Color Of Law by Richard Rothstein The Price for Their Pound of Flesh: The Value of the Enslaved, from Womb to Grave, in the Building of a Nation by Daina Berry
^^^reading these in conjunction with the Color Of Money will completely alter your perception of race and economics in America^^^^
Propaganda by Edward Bernays Quick read, and HUGELY influential in modern life. Dude was a despicable human being, and his rotten ideas are everywhere
The Condemnation of Little B by Elaine Brown Search & Destroy By Jim Miller The New Jim Crow by Michelle Alexander ^^^The role that black men play in this culture as boogie men cannot be overstated. These books help unpack why and how this is done.
