COLBERT: You're America's leading scholar on antiracism, and in your 2019 book "How to be an Antiracist" is currently a number one nonfiction best seller. What's the difference between being not racist and being antiracist?”
KENDI: Well, historically, whenever people are challenged for saying and doing something that's racist, typically, their response is ‘I'm not racist,’ no matter what they just said, no matter what they just did, by contrast, someone who is striving to be anti-racist is actually willing to admit the times in which they express racist ideas. They're willing to admit the times in which they sort of support racist policies because they're in a process of changing. They're changing themselves, they're seeking to change society. They're not necessarily in denial, like many Americans who claim they're not racist.
COLBERT: Well, I like that framing of the conversation because I, like I'm sure many Americans, have examined their conscience especially over the last four weeks and said I am a white American, I've benefited from our racist-- systemic racism in our society and I can't say honestly that I don't have any racism, but the reframe that you put it allows a hope for change.

Did he get Colbert to admit he’s a racist?
COLBERT: I can't say honestly that I don't have any racism, but the reframe that you put it allows a hope for change.
Shup. That's a copout answer.
Being White is the new original sin.
LOL, did Hawkeye realize he was talking to his future boss?
Whatever.
This kendi klown isn’t smart enough to differentiate between racism and bigotry. But I will acknowledge that I am bigoted - as long as he acknowledges that all humans hold some level of bigotry.
It’s how one manages their bigotry that matters.
How can you call everyone else in the world a racist based upon denial or agreement, but call yourself an anti-racist author? Just making the accusation is racial profiling. Cake and eat it, too? Must have been a slow night for celebs to appear.

What? From where? How many courses and books? Huh?
Kendi’s statement is logically and semantically incoherent. For example, how could he answer the question, “Are you a racist?”?
So does his “hope for change” mean he hopes to become racis’ someday?
Perhaps he should look in the mirror.
Race hustlers is what we used to call them ...and business is good right now.
I simply do not care if some SJW moron thinks or says that I am racist. Just. Don’t. Care.
Well, I do classify people. Regardless of anything else. You’re an okay person or you’re an a$$hole. Guess I’m bigoted against the latter. :-)
He defined himself as racist, because he said if you don't admit you are racist, then you are racist.
Of course, if you admit you are racist, then you are racist.
So everyone is racist, and the term is meaningless.
"Racism" has simply become a label for leftists to shut up their opponents.
My next door neighbor is a black woman. She’s a single mom to a 25 year old son who still lives at home. He’s got dreadlocks, tattoos, gold teeth, the whole works. But he’s a nice kid at heart and works hard at his job.
Two night ago, I saw him with his head under the hood of his car so I went over to see what he was doing.
He was changing out the car battery. He didn’t have the right tools so I went and got some and spent some time showing him how to use them and letting him do the work.
We talked about a few things and at one point, he gave me a great compliment.
He said “I’ve learned so much stuff from you Mr. Cyclotic cause I don’t have a dad.”
But yea, go ahead and call me a racist.
More BS. No matter. It will never be over until the blacks admit they do not want that to be over.
