I'm just trying to find folks I can talk about this book with.

Or if anyone is interested in reading it, I will gladly re-read it with you and we can discuss here.

with him discussing the book's subject... from pod save the ppl to klein to longform podcasts and in between

he gave some respectability politics speech when he was younger, later did some research and changed his thinking

white institution nonprofits including mine feel good about uplifting his work so at this point I'm not reading out of tv storyline "spite"

that sounds like a pretty childish/immature reason to not read something, but ok

for anyone curious about the book, Dr. Kendi explores antiracism through the lens of his own life growing up as a black kid in NYC then attending an HBCU

he is extremely self-critical as well as approaches the topic from a historical/scientific/common sense perspective

his overall thesis is that "not racist" doesn't exist. An idea or policy is either "racist" or "anti racist"...there's no neutral position.

he also delves pretty heavilly and thoroughly into the "double consciousness" of Black Americans...how we struggle with the dual concepts of assimilation and segregation

its worth a read and I definitely want to hear other Black men's perspective on the book
