It's Impossible For Black People To Be Racist? | The Left Wing 18.7
from The Left Wing · host The Left Wing
There’s a popular belief that people of color can’t be racist because they don’t have enough power. Racism, the thinking goes, transcends prejudice. It’s a system of advantage based on race and people of color don’t have the institutional power to oppress others. But Ibram X. Kendi systematically demolishes this notion in his provocative new book, “How to be an Antiracist.” Kendi, a lean man with long dreads and an encyclopedic knowledge of Western history, says the notion that black people can’t be racist is tainted by racism itself. “Like every other racist idea, the powerless defense underestimates black people and overestimates white people,” Kendi says.
