The book refers to something called a “Black Man’s Curse,” meaning that escaping racial profiling is impossible for black men (or black people). At Bras Prep, Jus is one of only a few Black kids at his school. He is a full-scholarship student who worked hard to get there. Just because he's been admitted, however, does not mean that his trouble is not over. He has to navigate a school environment that does not understand—or is even overtly hostile towards—Jus's identity and background.
