I know Jay's Journal and Go Ask Alice were bullshit but there's bound to be at least a bunch more since "nonfiction" isn't really a regulated term in any way whatsoever

I saw my coworker reading a book last year about “everyone knows black people are awful stupid criminals, but why are they like that?”

What was it called? I’m gonna try and find that title. I watched this dude get radicalized by YouTube in real-time it was nuts. Poor guy. Poor all of us really
