>but the actual quote is "The only remedy to racist discrimination is antiracist discrimination." False - "Kendi is an open advocate for race-based discrimination, arguing that “the only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination.” https://nypost.com/2021/07/22/ibram-x-kendi-is-the-false-prophet-of-a-dangerous-and-lucrative-faith/ https://nypost.com/2021/07/22/ibram-x-kendi-is-the-false-pro... >Their claim is that we're already living in a discriminatory system in which the only way to achieve equity is discrimination against that existing bias in the system. You can't discriminate against bias. You're right that they support the concept of using discrimination to achieve equity though. That is literally the whole point.

>False - "Kendi is an open advocate for race-based discrimination, arguing that “the only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination.” My quote is verbatim from the actual book. Your quote comes directly afterward so apparently we're both correct, but you taking a single sentence out of context and presenting it as a complete quote is still disingenuous. You didn't even try to find a neutral source to back up your quote. I strongly suspect we're talking past one another and I think it's best to end this conversation here.

  >You didn't even try to find a neutral source to back up your quote. It's from Kendi's own writings. It's a direct quote. And you claimed I made it up. Now that you know he said, I'm guessing you still don't care how racist CRT is.
