If he were any other color he would be considered a power whining lightweight.
He looks at the question of, "Who shit my pants." An comes up with the solutions of lower the standards, gimmie more free stuff, and it's everyone else's fault but mine.
He gets a condescending pat on the head from elite academia while the rest of us are too busy putting food on the table and living our lives to notice.
1. A farmer is one who practices farming correct? Or is this a circular definition too?
2. Are you saying that all disparities are equal regardless of cause? In essence we should not point out a bad policy because even if it is changed or abolished there will be other types of disparities?
One cant change god given physical abilities. One CAN change policy.
3. You misinterpret the over all meaning of the "discrimination as a remedy" point Kendi is making. He also states the the only way to cure Racism is Antiracism.
Are you suggesting that discrimination can be fixed by ignoring it? I dont get your critique that Kendi is being regressive by "swapping".
I interpreted Kendi as possibly suggesting that we need to be proactive in leveling the playing field. Similar to the help Biden proposed to help ADOS farmers...Which got shotdown because MAGA Republicans made an argument similiar to your critique.
Frankly MAGA's point is at best admitting that they seen no need to make right the US's past wrongdoing. Maybe this stance is not racist but it sure is callous.
Great piece Charles!
Your obvious support is much appreciated.
