“Antiracist Baby,” Page 3:
Ibram Kendi's Antiracist Baby, page three. Quote,
"Take these nine steps to make equity a reality."
Kendi lays out an action plan to help you teach babies how to bring about equity. By "equity,” Kendi does not mean treating people equally or fairly. In fact, he means the exact opposite. Kendi wants to achieve equity through actively discriminating against people whose ancestors have not suffered from discrimination.
As Kendi said in a recent interview for Penguin Random House UK,
"The only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination. The only remedy to present discrimination is future discrimination."
If you follow Kendi's advice and raise an antiracist baby, you'll be training your child to actively discriminate against certain groups of people based on characteristics they cannot control, like their skin color, in order to bring advantages to people whose ancestors were oppressed.
And this is how Kendi wants you to raise your baby: to bring about a more equitable world.
This is Kendi's plan.

This is so dangerous and utterly inane.
The gap in logic in this racist (by definition) approach is staggering. Which is probably inherent to all racist approaches. How would “Kendi” know whose ancestors had been discriminated against? What about black slave traders and owners? What about white indentured servants (or should we just call them slaves also?)? What about Jews or Asians and other groups that do very well in America? I’m sure he wants to discriminate against those too just like his peers at Harvard et al. Let’s remember that this ideology is only partially based on racism but also on Marxism. And people like him want to power to determine who can be discriminated against and who will be left alone.
