[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Question for you, OP:

- is Kendi a CRT activist, or not?

Simple question, OP.  Is he or is he not?[/quote]

DP
Who is Kendi?

ES Teacher[/quote]

Ibram X. Kendi is an author and professor whose work is prominent in how progressives view racism today.  He is a leader in the Anti-racism movement, and his work is influential in DEI thought and initiatives.  He authored the book "Stamped from the Beginning" which is read in some schools.

According to Kendi there is no such thing as a non-racist.  You are either a racist or an anti-racist.  There is no middle ground.  You are either actively confronting racial inequality or allowing it to exist through action or inaction.  You are a racist by doing nothing.

Kendi defines racism as any policy that creates inequitable outcomes between people of different skin colors.  For example, magnet school admissions policies are racist when black and Latino/Hispanic students are underrepresented.  Kendi would say you are a racist if you do not work to change admission policies that lead to black and Latino/Hispanic underrepresentation.  On the other hand, affirmative action in college admissions is anti-racist in that it is designed to remedy past racial discrimination.[/quote]
