brenden says that it would be easy for him to "look away" from the 1 problem of racism and police brutality but argues it is also a 'white people problem" explain what he mean by this

The end of the novel underscores the central theme of the novel, that racism is evil. This seems so self-explanatory, but unfortunately, as Quinn and Rashad quickly learn, racism is still alive and well in their community. Thus, the end of the novel shows the irony of racism, since all people die, and in death, we are all equal. The novel depicts this irony by Rashad and Quinn's prolonged eye contact. They are "eye-to-eye," or equal. In light of this equality, the events of the book are seen in their full irony.
