I read “How to Be an Antiracist” too and credit where credit is due, Kendi does dedicate a chapter each to both imperialism and capitalism and how both have borne racist policies/instilled racist values. I mean, you won’t see him calling for the government to be overthrown, but he doesn’t not call for it lol. It was better than White Fragility for sure, which is just self-flagellation.
Word-i figured it wasn’t written with bad intentions. The author seems actually kinda good, just there’s an enforced limit to how much they can rock the boat.
