About this ebook
Not being racist is not enough. We have to be antiracist.
*THE GLOBAL MILLION-COPY BESTSELLER - NOW REVISED AND UPDATED*
In HOW TO BE AN ANTIRACIST Ibram X. Kendi, one of the world's most influential scholars on racism, demolishes the idea of a post-racial society, punctures the myths and taboos that cloud our understanding of racism and presents a radically new approach to tackling it.
He shows how everyone is, at times, complicit in maintaining the structure of racism though we rarely realise it, and gives us the tools to identify and change those behaviours.
Uncompromising but essential, HOW TO BE AN ANTIRACIST sparked a new conversation about being antiracist around the world, showing that until we become part of the solution, we can only be part of the problem.
'Transformative and revolutionary' ROBIN DIANGELO, author of White Fragility
'So vital' IJEOMA OLUO, author of So You Want to Talk About Race

I don't want to be an "anti-racist", I don't want to be an anti-anything. Any "anti" movement comes with feelings of hate, division and conflict. Instead, I want to be pro inclusive. I want to be pro loving and pro accepting of everyone for who they are. Unfortunately this is the problem with left ideology. They create even further divide and racism in society than what they are trying to solve. They deal in identity politics and guilt. Nowadays this nonsense is forcefully shoved down our throats by all media, including Google who have this trash high up in the recommended reading list.

Changing the definition of racism, prejudice and other extremely sensitive words to bend to a narrative that white people are racist without themselves even knowing. Also a call for "racial equity" which is a leftist ideology and one that would make black votes more powerful than white ones.... basic racism.

Terrible, doesn't address inequalities in an unbiased manner at all. Being pushed in our faces though. Brainwashing.
