The authors appropriate many communities language and spirituality in an attempt to explain emotions. Used code-switching to describe parents talking to kids only later to talk down to said community members in scenario based examples. Such as when a cowork with an experience of kindergarten in a school with predominately students of color, discussed their need to help preschool students suppress emotions to prevent future principal office visits. Without any acknowledgement of systemic racism or white supremacy. 
This book further upholds white supremacy.
