'In many ways it has certainly been difficult... to have to continuously diagnose, identify and describe the sickness of racism in our society' CNN speaks to Ibram X. Kendi about the backlash to his work, and his new book, 'How to Be a (Young) Antiracist'

Few scholars have experienced the fickle nature of fame as dramatically as Ibram X. Kendi in the past three years. Kendi, author of the New York Times #1 bestseller, “How to Be an Antiracist,” became an intellectual celebrity in the summer of 2020 after his books became a go-to source for millions of Americans trying to make sense of the murder of George Floyd.

” But what if we taught that skin color is as irrelevant as the color of one’s shirt? What if we taught that hair texture is as irrelevant to the underlying person’s humanity as the glasses that they are wearing? We can teach people to think differently about people who look different to the point where they’ll see the humanity in that person, despite different skin color and hair texture. That’s very optimistic. It reminds of something else I read in your book.

Yawn.

He is the new face of racism

He's not good people

Does he acknowledged that black people are racist too? Or does he just blame white people to be the only racist?

Tough but lucrative

Remember, if you don’t have white guilt, you’re a racist.

Okay I’m white supremacy I’m racist I’m a terrible person for being white what else do you have your silly insults Don’t bother me

You have to have a vivid imagination to find that much racism. Sometimes you have to ignore facts to find it. Yeah, it’s hard.

I wonder if he is striving to be an anti racist? He’s obviously a full on racist. Unfortunately his own book won’t help him.

He is the biggest racist! He hates white peoples!

Stupid race grifter

Race hustler!

honestly, hard to diagnose racism? did i miss something?

If only I had a nickel for every time y'all posted a racism headline.

Damn…a book a year. Good grift…

Jesus offers eternal life antiracist invited not sure what the thief on the cross felt about romans ..

Knee grow trash

I hope DrIbram learns how to stop being racist.

His only product is racial division. He’s Al Sharpton 2.0

That's all they have. Revolving racism for money.

Sharpton grifter 2.0

Well, that's because Kendi promotes CRT and other divisive bullcrap. He should be shunned and mocked.

$20k per speech....the last thing this race hustler wants is for racism to end

It's proper to lash back at racists

Stop RACE BAITING & GRIFTING we are a diverse THRIVING NATION! LEAVE RACISM DEAD & IT WILL STAY DEAD‼️

Why did he change his name from Ibram Henry Rogers?

Playing the race card is a cash cow - why would they want it to end?

Some things labeled race discrimination are actually wealth-based discrimination. Rich vs Poor of all skin colors.

Hes more racist than CNN

Race race race race race race race.

He can’t even define racism. Why does anyone listen to this race pimp in the first place?

He is one of the biggest spreaders of hatred and racism out there

The indoctrination of the school system has created the racial chaos in our society. thingsthemediawontreport
