I was in Target a little while back and they started playing an excerpt from his racist diatribe book over the PA system. Haven't been back since.

The opposite of racist isn’t “not racist”. It is “anti-racist”.

OK, sure let's see where this goes.

Racist ideas love believers, not thinkers.

No faith needed, so he should be absolutely logically consistent throughout.

The only remedy to racist discrimination is anti-racist discrimination. The only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination. The only remedy to present discrimination is future discrimination.

Wait... what?

Denial is the heartbeat of racism, beating across ideologies, races, and nations.

Ibram X Kendi has successfully defined himself as a racist in denial.

My sister read that book and loved it, and unsurprisingly, she’s a huge race baiter, liar, and classist. She got into a big name university off of a essay about her “humanitarian trip to Africa” which was actually a safari paid for by her parents. Her black friends are carbon copies of her rich white friends in a different color. Her and her father’s self-importance made living under the same roof as them hell and has made me consider never coming back for holidays.

Take the book and destroy it. Or write in notes debunking this manipulative bullshit.

White Fragility's Chapter 11: White Women's Tears is fun critique of women if you take out the racial stuff. DiAngelo tells women to stop using their emotional incontinence to distract from real shit. She seems to have taken the position of the patriarchy.

The book is exemplary of the abstruse circumlocutious obscurantism that distinguishes Marxists and can be reduced to one line, "There are no bad tactics, only bad targets."

You know, out of context,

The only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination. The only remedy to present discrimination is future discrimination.

Can be taken as more a warning of the pendulum effect. His cult, his mindless belief in his ideological religion, preaches the need for present racial discrimination to rectify the fact racial discrimination existed at some point in the past. Which means he is the source of "present discrimination", or at least, his cultic beliefs dictate he should be, and he praises believers, not thinkers, so it can be taken as reasonable he would seek to create that source.

Which leaves the last segment: The only remedy to present discrimination is future discrimination. And the present discrimination will be sourced by himself, so the future remedy would be something ideologically opposite. I suppose his hope is that he will be dead before the pendulum crashes back into him.

Put it in the context of dictators makes it clearer: His belief is the only way to overthrow a tyrant, is to become a new tyrant, and the only way to overthrow him, is yet another tyrant in the future. His ideology leaves no room for repair, peace, growth, prosperty, or happiness, just the cycle of hatred and pain. No room for alternative solutions, only perpetual violence.

Because that doesn't sound utterly terrifying at all.

Glad I cancelled Netflix. I like that they are adapting Conan but I have lots of books and comics to read and I am no longer funding the racist garbage

So it's like 90 minutes of an angry black man saying "Fuck white people"?
