@DrIbram @darth_leveon @MD_Ed_Memes Hi, I’m not racist.
I’ll give you a moment to collect the bits of your mind that just exploded every which way.
This idea is ludicrous. Are babies either racist or antiracist? At what point does that happen? Immediately postpartum or sometime on the way home from the hospital?
@DrIbram @darth_leveon @MD_Ed_Memes And if it isn’t instant—if you see it in your heart to grant babies a few moments of peace before this nonsense ideology kicks in—then what are babies BEFORE they become either racist or antiracist?
@DrIbram @darth_leveon @MD_Ed_Memes What even is this, man? I can’t see how you honestly think this worldview actually does anyone any good, given how obviously nonsensical, tautological, and divisive it reveals itself to be under the tiniest bit of logical scrutiny.
Or is logic also racist?
@DrIbram @darth_leveon @MD_Ed_Memes Your racist/antiracist binary is not only ridiculous, it’s hateful—you must realize that. You are condemning people by forcing them into a logic game they can’t win. “Have you stopped beating your wife?”
It’s also dogmatic. “You either renounce, or are in league with, Satan.”
@DrIbram @darth_leveon @MD_Ed_Memes To pretend that there is only one possible explanation for disparity in a world as complex as ours is the height of arrogance and betrays a colossal misunderstanding of that complexity.
It’s impossible for a thinking person to take this worldview of yours seriously.
@DrIbram @darth_leveon @MD_Ed_Memes Racism is a real problem. Inequality is a real problem. These problems require real solutions, and real solutions are difficult, complicated, and nuanced. Conversation is our only route toward those solutions, and I see nonsense like what you’re peddling as conversation cancer.
@DrIbram @darth_leveon @MD_Ed_Memes Finally, I’m sure you mean well, Dr. Kendi. I do not doubt your intentions, and I respect them, but this whole thing is a crock. I’m sorry.
No one is beneath dignity, and so to you, all due respect. But no idea is above scrutiny, and so to your idea, a swift and merciful death.
