As a direct descendant of Southern slave owners, I am implicated in this system — and have been a beneficiary of it.
From Amazon’s Zoe page:
Zoe FitzGerald Carter was born in France but grew up in Washington D.C. She is a graduate of Columbia Journalism School and has written for numerous publications including The New York Times, The San Francisco Chronicle, Salon and Vogue

So she is a direct decedent of Southern slave owners but was born in France? Her claim to fame is a book about the assisted suicide of her mother.
Makes sense. So desiring of attention the she helps to kill her mother so she can talk about its impact on her.
The world we live in...
