Watson adeptly weaves pop culture and news into his observations. In this way, Keepin' It Real might be compared to Derrick Bell's Faces at the Bottom of the Well: The Permanence of Racism. He deftly aligns his essays to show how repeated patterns have been normalized, and argues that racism is a permanent and intrinsic component of the United States. Watson fits an impressive range of content into every short chapter without producing underdeveloped critiques. The book's structure and wide range of subjects are admirable.
