Kendi’s National Book Award-winning study argues that racism in America has grown from deliberate policies rather than from emotional responses like fear or hatred. Starting with the Puritans, Kendi traces the development of racist ideas and their effect on racist practices through the lives of five thinkers, discussing Cotton Mather, Thomas Jefferson, William Lloyd Garrison, W.E.B. Du Bois, and Angela Davis. Within these profiles Kendi, professor of history and international studies at American University, identifies three strains of thought about race: segregation, antiracism, and assimilation; outlines their differences, and points to how each can be discredited in order to free the nation for the post-racial era it has long yearned for.
Kendi is in conversation with Wesley Lowery, a national correspondent for The Washington Post and author of They Can't Kill Us All.

Self interest=racism... It will never go away lol
This man, this man. And the youngest person EVER to win the National Book Award.
I hope that the next time IKendi demonstrates a little more consideration with those blacks who spoke about whether or not blacks and whites can live "together" equitably.
While we problem-solve with policy adjustments, his is an honest question and should be answered with insight and care.
Interestingly, I noted Kendi, himself, subtly demonstrates an assimilationist attitude (ie when will these blacks learn?...it is the policies not the people ...sigh) He gently scoffs at certain questions from black audience members that are feeling the slow long burn of oppression.
Kendi did point out that black people often think the white ice is colder. Good job!
What he speaks about around 45:00 is essential to exploring and participating in this discourse.
Brilliant minds!
He's amazing!
Justin Case, delusional in what sense?
Yes, he is. I wouldn't even know about Professor Kendi if it wasn't for the Seeing White podcast from Scene On Radio.
I've been a public radio junkie since 2003 and I've listened to a lot of podcasts, in that time. It's probably the best one I've ever heard, up to this point.
