“Have you read How to Be an Antiracist by Ibram X. Kendi or White Fragility by Robin DiAngelo?” – AG
My response: Yes. I read both of them. And I’ve mentioned both of them here on the blog. They are… how shall I put it? Just plain dumb. CRT attributes all racial inequities to racism. Not work. Not study. Not integrity. Not ambition. The only reason one ethnic group is richer or poorer than another is because of institutional racism. But don’t ask a proponent of CRT why it is that Blacks from Nigeria or many parts of the Caribbean outperform African Americans, Hispanics, and even White Americans in many important financial metrics. Just asking the question, they will tell you, means you are racist. Click here for John Stossel’s comments on these two books.Browse by Category
