Is your baby racist? | Spectator USA"...‘We know that by two years old,’ warned megabrain anti-racist guru Ibram X. Kendi the other day, ‘children are already consuming racist ideas.’
...Racism is Kendi’s thing, his groove, his métier.
He was first catapulted to prominence when, in 2016, he became the youngest person to win the National Book Award for Nonfiction, for his surprise hit Stamped from the Beginning: The Definitive History of Racist Ideas.
Next up was his 2019 memoir-manifesto How to Be an Antiracist (‘dogmatic’ and ‘brilliantly simple’ according to a wowed Guardian reviewer).
That one has rarely left the Times bestseller list, with more than half a million copies in print by June this year.

Ideas, actions, policies are either Racist or Antiracist.
That’s it...Read all.
