Ibram Kendi, the media's favorite race “expert" says: "Every person, every idea ... is either racist or anti-racist."
McWhorter calls this CULT-like thinking.
It does sound a little like a cult. Kendi says things like "the heartbeat of anti-racism is confession."
"A new religion has arisen!" McWhorter says. "And more to the point, that it's a shitty religion."
The religion leads some people "to fashion a victimization identity ... a luxury available to people who aren't really suffering that much.”
The video above, explains how this new religion hurts minorities.

As a Black man, I cannot wait for books like "White Fragility" and "How to be Anti-Racist" to be seen by history in the same way as "The Communist Manifesto" and "Mein Kampf".

A big reason these people are "winning" is that they refuse to debate people who would contradict their beliefs. They only go on programs that will support them out right or only push back a little bit.

"Toxic Victimhood" is a term that NEEDED to be invented. Thank you, John Stossel, for helping popularize it.

My Nigerian parents NEVER mentioned racism or any other -isms once to my siblings and I. Boy, they were STRICT about having good grades at school and good behavior anywhere we went. As adults, we're grateful to have parents to keep us in line when we were kids!

It's also funny how being an "anti-racist" is so well paid. Follow the money still applies to this version of snake oil.

Jordan Peterson has a great video when this philosophy is taken to it's sad end..."When victimhood leads to genocide." Don't think it can go that far? Look around at what we're seeing in this country right now....we are split at the seams almost exactly 50/50...civil war isn't as far away as one might think. Both sides are reaching the tolerance breaking point.

So happy that I moved away from a city with a large black population,, the hatred that some of them had for me just because I was white was hard to deal with 30 years ago,, I imagine now it would be impossible to ignore.

Constanly being told I'm a racist is one of the things that made me change my voter registration from Democrat to Republican. Such devisive and destructive nonsense.
