  > Kendi, Ibram X. What specifically is "hyper-racist" about him? I read his wikipedia entry and didn't find anything "hyper-racist" about him.

    I'm just hearing this term for the first time, but let me give it a shot. Racism is bias based on race. In the rural south near me, the racism that I see looks like this: black person gets a few weird looks, and they need to be extra-polite to gain someone's trust. It's not a belief that every single black person shares the foibles of the worst of their race. Ibram X Kendi (Real name Henry Rogers), on the other hand, seems to believe that it is impossible for a white person to be good. We are somehow all racist, and all responsible for slavery. The latter is simply more racist. The former is simply using race as a data point, which isn't kind or fair, but it is understandable. Kendi's approach is moral judgement based on skin color, with the only way out being perpetual genuflection.

    I don't know what kind of damage you developed to wish harm on others based on their race or gender but you are a horrible person.

      I wouldn't engage with that user, to me they're quite infamous and I'm sure the hundreds of people who interacted with this user before knows how inflammatory they are

        The fact they have so many upvotes on blatant bigotry... and people say this forums moderation (or tech) doesn't have an issue of leftist radicalism. What happened to treat others like you'd like to be treated?
