For example, in the excerpt we will read from Why Are All The Black Kids Sitting Together In The Cafeteria it says: "Disenchanted with the political status quo, [some] embraced Trump's promises to improve their lives by renegotiating international trade agreements, bringing manufacturing jobs back to the US, reducing taxes, improving infrastructure, and increasing Homeland Security - in short, to “Make America Great Again”- but these promises seemed to rest on the prerequisite of keeping some people out of America."

As a critical reader, the last section of this text "these promises seemed to rest of the prerequisite of keeping some people out of America" jumps out to me as important to furthering the intention of the book, which is to highlight racial disparities in the United States.  It is likely that a book with a different intention might say something different.  Even the phrase "Make America Great Again" can be filtered through different lenses.  Make is great again for who?  Was it ever great for Black people? For immigrants? For women?  For people in poverty?  To many "MAGA" conjures idealized pictures from the 1950's.  White suburbs, working dad (who affords it all on one income), happy to stay at home mom, 2 kids, white picket fence, etc.  Was this a truly  amazing time that we should all want to return to?

Non-critical thinkers take an egotistical view of the world.  They take their facts as the only relevant ones.  They take their own perspective as the only sensible one. They take their goal as the only valid one.

Critical thinkers are skeptical. They are active, not passive. They ask questions and analyze because they want to know more and understand more fully. They are open to new ideas and perspectives and are willing to challenge their beliefs and change their views.

It is "only human" to wish to validate our prior knowledge and sustain our beliefs. In the process of satisfying our ego, however, we can often deny ourselves intellectual growth and opportunity. We may not always want to apply critical thinking skills, but we should have those skills available to be employed when needed. Critical thinking leads to personal growth and understanding.

Based on the title of the book, I can infer that this books primary goal is to explore how racial inequality impacts our society, so racism will likely be a lens that the 2016 election is presented through.
