How to Be an Antiracist (One World Essentials)

by Ibram X. Kendi

They reject my definition of “discrimination” and the delineation between racist and antiracist discrimination, even as these sentences are predicated on that definition and that delineation. All to substantiate their propaganda that my work is racist, and that antiracism is racist toward White people. I am talking about “propaganda” and not “criticism” for a reason. Critics explore what a writer actually means and challenge it. Propagandists distort what a writer means and then attack their own distortions. Consumers of the propaganda who haven’t read the book will never know that what is being fed to them is misinformation. These edits make it harder to distort the meaning of these sentences. But I am sure the conservators of racism will try. They want us thinking that antiracism, not racism, is the problem. They want us thinking that racism, not antiracism, is the solution.
