Anzley’s comments from the St. Thomas More Anti-Racism Task Force group.

On behalf of Mariah Snyder:

Are you a racist? Are you “not a racist”? Are you an “Antiracist”? Kendi provides definitions for these terms used frequently in our lives today. He contends that persons should not be content to just not be racist” but should strive to take a step beyond and become an Antiracist. The latter is someone who works to end racism. Kendi walks us through his path to what he coined “Antiracist” through personal stories that detail struggles with numerous forms of bigotry that mark his growth to becoming an Antiracist. These include power, biology, color, class, gender and sexuality. Have tissues ready before beginning to read the last chapter of a New York Times bestseller.

This is a Must Read for everyone.
