Coleman Hughs Shreds Ibram X. Kendi's *How To Be An Anti-Racist*

Wow that book is shit.
I haven't read it, but I've read several reviews now, and many excerpts...and, as it turns out, sometimes you don't have to read the book...
Hughes notes that there are some good things in the book--e.g. Kendi's rejection of the ridiculous blacks can't be racist argument. But mostly it's crap.
The most notorious bit is Kendi's absurd nonsense about a "Department of Antiracism" that will have the power to overrule any law and outlaw any idea that it deems to be racist. It will be composed of "experts" on racism...so just imagine that. A committee of Kendis and other grievance studies types, basically running the country. As Hughes notes, this is a vision of a totalitarian America... Which is something progressives don't object to, obviously...so much the worse for them.
Sounds like this book may be even worse than that "white fragility" piece of crap...but it also sounds like a pretty close-run race.
