A Harvard University webpage that provides resources for parents of students at the school features "anti-racism resources," including a list of books written by controversial authors who have espoused anti-White rhetoric and have suggested discrimination is OK as long as it's against White people. One of the books is Ibram X. Kendi's "How To Be An Anti-Racist", another is the infamous "White Fragility" by Robin DiAngelo.
Kendi, born Ibram Henry Rogers, is known for racially inflammatory comments targeting White people. DAVID MARCUS: TRANSPORTATION SECRETARY DUFFY IS RIGHT; HARVARD JUST AIN’T WHAT IT USED TO BE "Europeans are simply a different breed of human," he wrote in a column in his college newspaper in 2003. "They are socialized to be aggressive people.
They are taught to live by the credo, 'survival of the fittest.' They are raised to be racist." In his 2019 book, Kendi explained that discrimination is fine, as long as it promotes equity. On the contrary, he said, discrimination is wrong if it promotes inequity. DISCRIMINATORY 'SHADOW' REVIEW PROCESS LOCKS WHITE, ASIAN STUDENTS OUT OF CALIFORNIA MED SCHOOL, DOJ ALLEGES "The only remedy to racist discrimination is antiracist discrimination," the book says.
"The only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination. The only remedy to present discrimination is future discrimination." Kendi also slammed "whiteness" at a film screening in November 2023. "I don't think White people worldwide have really reckoned with how much their own personal identity is shaped by constructions of whiteness, and how much that construction of whiteness prevents White people from connecting to humanity," he said at the event.
Similarly, the resource page on Harvard's site includes "White Fragility: Why It’s So Hard for White People to Talk About Racism." GEORGIA DISTRICT QUIETLY TRAINED TEACHERS TO BLAME 'WHITENESS,' 'DECOLONIZE' UNDER FEDERAL CRACKDOWN: REPORT "White people are socialized to feel that they are inherently superior because they are white," DiAngelo wrote in the 2018 book. "Racism is a White problem. It was created by White people," the book says.
"It is wielded by White people, it benefits White people." She also wrote that White people are always racist. "The question is not 'Did racism take place?' but rather, 'How did racism manifest in this situation?'" she wrote in the book. Other books recommended to parents include "Me and White Supremacy," by Layla Saad, "Raising White Kids," by Jennifer Harvey and "The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness," by Michelle Alexander.
