Revered by some, vilified by others, Ibram X. Kendi is America's most controversial anti-racism scholar. In this wide-ranging and frank conversation, the bestselling author of How to Be an Anti-Racist discusses his foundational (and republished) 2012 book The Black Campus Movement, drawing parallels between 1960s student activism and today's Gaza protests. Kendi argues critics deliberately misrepresent his work to "make me into this boogeyman" and keep people from engaging with evidence-based scholarship on racism. Despite facing accusations of being a "fraud," Kendi remains committed to his mission, particularly in his upcoming role at Howard University, where he'll direct a new Institute for Advanced Study. Five Key Takeaways * History Repeating: Kendi argues that today's campus protests over Gaza mirror 1960s Black student activism, with opponents using similar talking points to undermine anti-racist efforts on college campuses.* The "Boogeyman" Strategy: Kendi believes his critics deliberately misrepresent his work to make him seem "scary" and keep people from engaging with his evidence-based scholarship on racism, rather than addressing his actual arguments.* Campus Activism Then vs. Now: Key differences between the 1960s and today include the federal government now working to "re-segregate" campuses rather than desegregate them, and the presence of campus police forces that can suppress demonstrations.* Indirect Racism: Kendi argues that modern racism operates indirectly—when people deny that racist policies exist while racial disparities persist, they're implicitly suggesting that Black people are inferior, just without saying it explicitly.* New Chapter at Howard: After facing controversy and criticism, Kendi is moving from Boston University to historically Black Howard University to direct a new Institute for Advanced Study focused on rigorously studying racism.DR. IBRAM X. KENDI is a National Book Award-winning author of seventeen books for adults and children, including eleven New York Times bestsellers. Dr. Kendi is the Andrew W. Mellon Professor in the Humanities at Boston University, and the director of the BU Center for Antiracist Research. In the summer of 2025, he will join Howard University as Professor of History and Director of its newly established Howard Institute for Advanced Study. Dr. Kendi is the author of Stamped from the Beginning: The Definitive History of Racist Ideas in America, which won the National Book Award for Nonfiction, making him the youngest author to win that award. He also authored the international bestseller, How to Be an Antiracist, which was described in the New York Times as “the most courageous book to date on the problem of race in the Western mind.” Dr. Kendi's other bestsellers include How to Raise an Antiracist and Antiracist Baby, illustrated by Ashley Lukashevsky. In 2020, Time magazine named Dr. Kendi one of the 100 Most Influential People in the world. He was awarded a 2021 MacArthur Fellowship, popularly known as the Genius Grant. His newest book is Malcolm Lives! It is the first major biography of Malcolm for young readers in more than thirty years.

The best selling author of "How To Be An Antiracist" and "Antiracist Baby," Dr. Ibram X. Kendi joined Stephen Colbert via Zoom in June 2020 to discuss what it takes to call one's self antiracist, and how he believes it's in everyone's interest to end the racist policies that cause inequality in this country (Original Air Date: June 25th, 2020). Two years after their first interview, Ibram X. Kendi had found that hearing his name come out of Sen. Ted Cruz's mouth during the confirmation hearing for Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson did not deter him from pursuing his mission to encourage all Americans, especially children, to learn how to be antiracist.

If we want to be the change in the world as the adult, first we have to look at ourselves and say, this is something we value, and then tell our children that we value that because we want every child to be seen, heard, and valued. We want every family to be seen, heard and valued. In this episode of the Adventures in Learning podcast, Dr. Diane chats with Alyssa Dituro, executive director of the McNeilly Center for Children in Nashville.

(This full conversation is from the episode 'Ibram X. Kendi: How to Make America Antiracist?')The fight over what can and can't be taught in schools is shaping up to be one of the most controversial issues in a pivotal mid-term election year. White voters are being mobilized to ban books, censor honest discussions of US history and current day racism, and organize against a fake spectre of “critical race theory” being taught in schools. So what is to be done? In this episode, Laura and co-hosts Sara Lomax-Reese and Mitra Kalita interview Dr. Ibram X. Kendi, one of the most visible and vocal proponents of anti-racist education. Dr. Kendi shot to prominence with his 2019 New York Times bestseller How to be an Antiracist, making a name for himself as one of the most renowned antiracist scholars in the country and winning a MacArthur “genius” grant in 2021.

One of the things I've come to believe during the now 10-year journey of Good Life Project is that there truly is no individual good life, without there also being a more collective and inclusive path for a societal good life. We are all interconnected. And a key part of this more expansive aspiration is about planting seeds, starting with younger generations. So, how do you raise kids to create a more equitable and inclusive society? One where we're not afraid to acknowledge and discuss beautiful experiences, while also addressing hard truths in a way that steeps us in reality, invites everyone into the conversation, and compels us to do the work needed to create more possibility, equality and opportunity for all, regardless of race, socio-economic status, religion, age, ability and beyond?That's where we're headed with today's guest, Dr. Ibram X. Kendi. He's the Andrew W. Mellon Professor in the Humanities at Boston University, founding director of the BU Center for Antiracist Research, a contributing writer at The Atlantic, CBS News racial justice contributor, and the host of the Be Antiracist podcast.

In 2020, Time magazine named Dr. Kendi one of the 100 most influential people in the world. He was awarded a 2021 MacArthur Genius Grant. And his new book, How to Raise An Antiracist, take us into the core ideas around bringing kids up - as caretakers, parents, educators and community members - in a way that opens their minds, hearts and eyes to both our history and to the work still to be done to decrease inequality and increase equality.You can find Ibram at: Website | Instagram | Be Antiracist PodcastIf you LOVED this episode you'll also love the conversations we had with Austin Channing Brown inviting all to play a part in creating a more equal and inclusive society.Check out our offerings & partners: My New Book Sparked | My New Podcast SPARKEDVisit Our Sponsor Page For a Complete List of Vanity URLs & Discount Codes.AquaTru: $100 off + free shipping.

Hello on this fine Wednesday... Recently Brown and Easter's lovely (conservative) school district decided to roll out a list of books deemed "inappropriate" for our school-aged children.

Brown and Easter are not just mothers, not just Robert Stack groupies, they're also educators wanting to create a safe and supportive environment for their students. They will be discussing one banned book every two weeks. Stay tuned! Yes, you'll still receive your regular episode on Friday! See you then! Anything said about teaching in this podcast is purely satirical and is not based on any real person or event. A Rude, A Prude, and an Unsolved Mystery is for people 18 years and older. *Listener* discretion is advised.

A wave of book bannings sweeping the country, along with conservative fury over titles like “Antiracist Baby,” seems like a backlash against the heightened racial consciousness of the post-George Floyd era. The historian and staff writer Jill Lepore sees these conflicts as the continuation of an old dynamic. She relates today's “anti-anti-racism” movement to the anti-evolution campaign of the nineteen-twenties, which included the prosecution of a Tennessee teacher for teaching Darwin's theory in a high-school class. Lepore tells David Remnick that what links these battles over biology and history is the argument that parents have the right to determine their children's education in public schools.

Seeing the highlight clips of the Ketanji Brown Jackson Confirmation Hearings morph into full blown defamation and attacks from pundits on the right made me wonder if indeed, Judge Jackson was singled out. This was, of course, due to the popular assertion that “we” think everything revolves around race. The “we” happens to be any Black or Brown person that made a statement about the fact that much of the questioning bore little resemblance to that of previous nominees. Do "we" still think that this hearing showed that we have to be twice as good to get half as much, like our grandparents taught us? I know it made me think so, and it was uncomfortable to watch. Unless Judge Brown was running for school board, or unless she had passed some ruling or sentencing protocol down on the use of Antiracist Baby--which was also sorely misrepresented--this was at best a political stunt, at worst, slanderous denigration. Sadly, this lack of respect for the record and qualifications has also been overlooked before. Think Amy Coney Barrett. Ted Cruz asked her about piano lessons and distance learning for her 7 children. While not as glaringly antagonistic—nor as dangerous—as his line of questioning with Judge Jackson, the subtle mommy track questions were just as insulting. In both lines of questions, the nominee was little more than a trope, a 2- dimensional caricature. Neither woman was considered worthy of questions befitting accomplished legal scholars. Why is this type of thinking dangerous and how does this apply to you? In your mind's eye, when you see your students and staff, how many of them are archetypes? Do you see the ‘coach' the ‘theater teacher' or the ‘TA' as representations of ‘their kind'? How about your students. Do you see the emo kid and the SPED kid as monolithic representations? Chances are, in some cases, that you do. Knowing that is half the battle. How can you better connect with students whose characterizations you need to round out? Whether it's having a lunch date or making it a point to listen better, recognizing that no-one is just one thing can help you avoid pigeonholing your students in the way that Ted Cruz pigeonholed the SCOTUS nominees. #RelationshipsMatter --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/hedreich/message

Hey, everybody! It's me again, your good pal Count Vacula—bringing you a brand-new No Filter! My guest this week is the very kind and very smart Dr. Ibram X. Kendi. He's a podcaster like me—but he's also a professor, and a National Book Award winner, and a #1 New York Times bestselling author of really terrific books like Antiracist Baby and Stamped (For Kids)! We talked about playing basketball, and cardboard creations, and how when the people you care about are happy, it can make you feel happy too! But we also talked about serious things, like how there are some rules that aren't fair to everyone, and that it's up to us to change those rules! It reminded me of when Big Bot Burger made a rule that said Wastelanders couldn't eat in their restaurants. That wasn't fair, so we all joined together to protest, and we got rid of discrimination in our neighborhood! Dr. Kendi says that standing up to discrimination is one of the kindest things we can do, and I think he's right. A great thing about meeting different people is that you can learn all sorts of new ways to be kind. Did you do something kind this week? Tell me about it, and then maybe I can do it too! Yay! Okay! I'll be back soon with more No Filter—and in the meantime, I'll see you around The Imagine Neighborhood™! Love,   Vac

Dr. Ibram Kendi has been quite influential in the past few years as his work regarding “anti-racism” has had a very significant cultural, political, and social influence within the United States and arguably the world. Show Notes: https://www.penguin.co.uk/articles/2020/june/ibram-x-kendi-definition-of-antiracist.html --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/humanitymatters/support

“What if instead of a feelings advocacy we had an outcome advocacy that put equitable outcomes before our guilt and anguish?” wrote Ibram X. Kendi in his 2019 book “How to Be an Antiracist.” “What if we focused our human and fiscal resources on changing power and policy to actually make society, not just our feelings, better?”When I first read “How to Be an Antiracist” in the fall of 2019, I was struck by Kendi's relentless focus on outcomes. For him, racism wasn't about what you intended, or what you felt. If a given policy or action reduced racial inequality, it was antiracist; if it increased racial inequality, it was racist. If you support policies that reduce racial inequality you are being antiracist; if you aren't, you're being racist. That's it.These days, Kendi needs little introduction. “How to Be an Antiracist” has become one of the signature texts of the post-George Floyd moment. And Kendi himself has become a central figure of the antiracist movement, having launched a vast array of projects, from his new podcast, “Be Antiracist,” to his children's book “Antiracist Baby” to his Center for Antiracist Research at Boston University.But I've often wondered about the genuine radicalism of Kendi's work as it has phased from book to phenomenon. There are certainly some people who are doing the real, hard analytical and empirical work that Kendi actually calls for. But a lot of what occurs under the banner of “antiracism” is putting up yard signs, publicly acknowledging privilege and issuing statements of solidarity without the consequentialist analysis he demands.So I wanted to have a conversation that really took Kendi's approach to antiracism seriously. Spoiler alert: It's hard. We discuss policy issues ranging from police defunding to open borders and interest rates, the research on corporate diversity and inclusion trainings, the political tradeoffs of Barack Obama's presidency, the cases where a policy might reduce racial inequality but the backlash to it might increase it, the right-wing assault on critical race theory, visions of a positive-sum racial future and much more.References:Stamped from the Beginning by Ibram X.

In this episode, Melissa and Leah are joined by Chloe Bowman, early childhood educator and social activist, in a conversation about antiracist parenting.  After years of struggling with the lack of opportunity to speak openly about racism, Chloe was motivated by the 2020 protests to start a movement in her own community.  She is the founder and director of Melanin Mountain Project, a nonprofit organization striving to educate about antiracism and create antiracist policies in Crested Butte, CO.  Chloe discusses how parents and teachers can approach the integration of antiracist thought into their children's worldview, starting by doing away with the "tolerance" model and the concept of color blindness, and replacing them with empathy and highlighting social constructs that benefit some but harm others. The Book Blurb in this episode is from How to Be an Antiracist by Ibram X.

Many parents, especially white parents may feel uncomfortable about knowing the right way to start a conversation with your children regarding race.   Before you decide to have these important conversation with your children you may want to ask yourself a few questions. 1).  Do you know and own your own biases?Let your children know and see you acknowledge and face your bias.We're less likely to pass on the biases we identify and work to overcome.Give your child an example of a bias, racial or otherwise, that you hold or have held. Share with your child things you do to confront and overcome that bias.2).  Do you celebrate diversity in your everyday life?Many parents may be tempted to teach their children to be "color blind" or actually shy away from acknowledging differences however all of differences, skin color, genetic makeup and culture, should be celebrated, not ignored.    Do you model your belief with your words?   Do you show respect and understanding with someone that doesn't look like you?  How diverse is your circle of friends?  When was the last time you invited a black/brown person to social event with you, out to dinner (before COVID).  How can you widen your family circle to include others that don't look like you?3).  How are you educating yourself on racism? Study and talk about the histories and experiences of  Black people, Asian Americans, Indigenous Peoples.Make sure you understand that every racial and ethnic group includes people who believe different things and behave in different ways . There is as much diversity within racial groups as across them.For me my education began simply by having friends outside my race, dating outside my race which then ultimately lead me to becoming even more educated on Racism by reading many books and listening to podcasts on racism and  understanding our true history.  Additionally I took several workshops with Racial Equity Institute  out of Greensboro which was literally the most enlightening workshops I have ever taken.   4).  Are you talking about racism? Although this is a sensitive subject, it still exists and while some forms of racism are subtle comments and or prejudice many are outright hatred and violence.  Just because you aren't talking about it doesn't mean its not happening.5).  Are talking to your Co-Parent/Partner?Co-Parents need to talk among themselves about race and racism and what their experiences have been, and what they want their relationship to be and what they want their family to be.  Talking about race and racism between co-parents is critical to raising children that know and understand race and racism,  It will go a long way in breaking the cycle of systematic racism.Resources:https://www.healthline.com/health/parenting/anti-racism-resources-for-parents-and-kidshttps://www.essence.com/entertainment/childrens-books-racism/https://www.sceneonradio.org/seeing-white/https://www.racialequityinstitute.com/ Antiracist Baby board book, and co-author of the Stamped: Racism, Antiracism and You for young adults, has recently appeared on a number of podcasts such as Unlocking Us  - Ibram X.

In 2020, exploring the harsh complexities of racism and systemic injustice is still a painful task for most adults, but how do our children process these concepts? How should we have these difficult conversations with our children, and how can we make sure that they feel empowered to change society as they grow? Dr. Ibram X. Kendi and Dr. Allison Briscoe-Smith join INFORUM to teach us how. Kendi is a New York Times best-selling author, an acclaimed academic and a leading voice on racial justice in America. His newest work is a children's book titled Antiracist Baby, and in it he uses playful images and straightforward language to introduce complicated topics like power, racial disparity and antiracism for readers of all ages. Briscoe-Smith is a child psychologist and the director of diversity, equity and inclusion with the Wright Institute Clinical Program. Much of her work focuses on trauma and how children understand race. This conversation will be moderated by Julie Lythcott-Haims, the author behind the critically-acclaimed and award-winning memoir Real American, a book about growing up Black and biracial in white spaces. Together, these experts will explain how we can help future generations understand the true meaning of equality and also give them the tools necessary to fight for it.
