He sees racism everywhere he looks, because he brings it with him everywhere he gos.

[magicmarc]

He is actually a great magician, he made 43 million dollars disappear.

[tyw]

He rarely addresses his actual critics, and when he does it's never on the basis of their arguments, such as Coleman Hughes.

[DavidRodriguez-oceh]

Interesting that they don’t reference statements such as “The only remedy for past discrimination is present discrimination”

[Malignus]

He's not trying to make sense. He's trying to make money. It worked.

[georgemioch]

Isn’t it amazing how people who want to be understood by others put very little effort into understanding others?

[nathanreed]

This guy needs a healthy dose of Thomas Sowell.

[porterwake]

The fact that this guy is a prominent academic on the left shows you all you need to know about that side of the political aisle.

[pawelselewestruk]

There's no anti-racism. He is a racist. He sell racism. Without racism he is out of job and money. The moment when he write that "discrimination is ok towards some group beacues etc." That is a racism. definition of racism is discrimination.

[TimeBinder]

I learned absolutely nothing in the broadcast. I guess you have to buy his book to learn nothing but filling his million dollar bank accounts.

[blitzegron]

This guy is making money on a non issue by saying word salad and never defining what racism is except to says a racist does racist things and racist things are what racists do. As for racial disparity we find it in profound proportions in the NBA, NFL, or in violence and crime. He also never addresses cultural and its impact on people of all "colors".

[brianmeen]

I’d love Kendi to try and explain why or how the nba tryouts are seemingly racist . In his view a disparity is racist and the nba has a shockingly large disparity going on 😂😂😂

[LoveCoffee]

Ibram X. Kendi is one of the biggest racists in existence right now. His book is essentially telling you to be a racist, ironically, in order to become an "anti-racist." Make no mistake: Antiracist IS racist.

[Thedecider]

you guys should have john mcwhorter on

[yameshraberts]

why do people keep interviewing this dude?

[sevenexes]

Why doesn’t he use his real name?
Henry Rogers.
What’s wrong with henry rogers?
His mother (woman) didn’t name him ibram. What does the “x” stand for? Xavier?

[MFYouTube]

His refused to debate Coleman Hughes. Gee I wonder why …

[MJason]

I think we can all agree that racism is bad.

However, using the logic from Kendi's sayings, by not doing anything about it, even if you think racism is bad, you are supposedly a racist and not an anti-racist?

The logic doesn't add up 🤔

[sabocram]

That makes sense. A racist teaches anti-racism.

[genarogers]

He says the fact that their are more blacks in prison, living in poverty, and a larger # of blacks unhealthy . It is unbelievable that he doesn't see that the lack of the nuclear family (mommy DADDY and kids) a lack of a father figure has led the black community into the majority of these negative impacts the destruction of the black role of the father is such a sad evolution
