Time Text
Kendi wrote on social media, some white colonizers quote-unquote adopted black children.
This is what they always do.
They go back to the past.
Well, X number of blacks were lynched.
That's correct, and it's evil.
What does that have to do with today?
There's so little racism in America that most of the time you hear about it, it's a hoax.
One of the five arguments I have, it's a very important piece I wrote, five arguments that America's not racist.
Send it to your kids.
He continues, they quote, civilized these savage children in the superior ways of white people.
Oh, he capitalizes white.
It's right.
You are a member of some distinct ethnic group, white.
What is the superior ways of white people?
White people have believed in communism, fascism, Nazism, democracy, Christianity, Judaism.
I don't quite know.
What does it even mean?
What does it mean, the ways of white people?
Do you have a definition?
Which whites is he referring to?
But according to him, it's white people.
Capital W. This is the man who teaches at Boston University.
Who heads a center there?
A best-selling author, of course.
While using them, that is the children, as props in their lifelong pictures of denial, while cutting the biological parents of these children out of the picture of humanity.
Is he referring to Amy Barrett?
If not, isn't it irrelevant?
And whether this is Barrett or not is not the point.
I think it is the point, isn't it?
It is a belief too many white people have.
If they have or adopt a child of color, then they can't be racist.
Hmm.
It's an interesting question.
So can you think blacks are inferior, but I will love one as my child?
Or even, I hate blacks, but I will raise one as my child.
You know, as a Jew who has written a book on anti-Semitism and studied it my whole life, I can only say that if the Jews of Germany had been adopted by German parents when they didn't have Jewish parents to raise them, if that was the extent of German anti-Semitism, six million Jews would be alive today.
A lot more, because they would have had children.
This is when you have to make up racism.
On Monday, Kendi opined more on whether someone can be free from racism.
We should eliminate the term not racist from the human vocabulary, he wrote.
We are either being racist or anti-racist.
So you could be not racist, but not anti-racist.
It's an interesting thing.
