My biggest problem with Kendi, is he clearly wants to use race, as a vehicle for his personal politics. Then, he actually even claims, that he is/or rather was, a racist.
Kendi is a sell out, and seems to be, one of the tools of the establishment. IMO, only useful idiots would believe him. He is a snake in the grass, to make this whole oligarchical enslavement easier. He is, another Manchurian candidate.
A bigot, against himself? This is like those claims we hear from leftists, that want to accuse other PoCs of being white supremacists.
Normal, rational folks can see right through it, it is like claiming men are women, or that children are old enough to decide they don't want to be the gender they are born as.
It is calling night day, and black white.
The 33nd Degree Masonic strategy to completely socially engineer society, is to create total chaos, if you want to reorder it. Anyone can look this up, Ordo Ab Chao. In fact, I think the Brookings Institute, just came out with a new initiative recently;
On Friday February 24, the Foreign Policy Program at Brookings will release a new bipartisan national security strategy at an exclusive conversation with members of the Brookings’s Order from Chaos Task Force.

Anyone that hasn't gotten that is what this whole "New Normal," and "Build Back Better," and purposeful destruction of the entire global economy is about, isn't paying attention. It will get worse, and worse, until folks just give up, and go along with the folks in charge, and no, it won't be any better for folks of color, poor nations, poor communities, or illegals, they are ALWAYS on the bottom.
Indeed, this is scientifically written down in Alinsky's book.
You may not recognize his name at first, but Saul Alinsky served as the inspiration behind President Barack Obama's initiative to become a community organizer in Chicago. Fridays is the 100th birthday of the founder of the Industrial Areas Foundation.

Those who benefited from the first wrong really need to listen to those who were wronged.
I'm afraid, Kendi? Is a sell-out. He doesn't give a shit about America or the black community. He is only in this for himself.
He is what Glen Ford called, part of the "Black Mis-leadership Class." You are being promised shiny things, and nice sounding rhetoric, to sell out your soul, to a NWO.
Rich white capitalists may be donating millions to Black Lives Matter, but they’re also funding and praising nonsense like Kendi’s babblings on race and capitalism. “When the ideas of the Black Radical Tradition are finding wider agreement, this book is an attack upon it.”

You would do better, paying attention to scholars that don't purposely pit Americans against each other, but seek to understand social dynamics a nit the nation together instead, not using in-groups and out-groups as a political tool.
I'm going mostly with the sociological/psychological definition here. Not just "bias," but the social science, technical definition - to explain interactions between IN-Group & OUT-Group dynamics.
More Tales Of White Supremacy And White Privilege
Here is that paper that was quoted back in 2020 on inter-group relations;
https://groups.psych.northwestern.edu/spcl/documents/Richeson_SommersAR16.pdf
Excellent read from a (Now Yale Professor.)
"Attitudes, both favorable and unfavorable, that are activated without awareness or intentional control and that are different from and sometimes in contrast to explicit, self-reported beliefs.
A large body of social science evidence has shown that unconscious, automatically activated, and pervasive cognitive associations related to race, ethnicity, gender, age, sexual orientation, and other identities can impact decision-making and judgments without our awareness. These research findings have serious, far-reaching implications for individuals in a wide range of sectors.
These biases result from normal human cognitive processes are therefore applicable to everyone. They develop across the life course as a result of socialization and exposure to certain messages within a culture.
Implicit bias can affect behaviors and can result in discrimination, or the differential treatment of individuals based on their group membership. Implicit bias can also be internalized by those being targeted and can affect their performance as well as psychological and physical health.
As is the case with attitudes generally, implicit bias is malleable, and new attitudes can be learned that replace or override previously learned associations."

And a quick video on how implicit bias operates on our roles in inter-group behavior, by the co-author of that paper.
But? We have had this conversation before. I know you won't stop grinding this axe. It is too tempting to use this tactic, to try to forward your political agenda. But do be aware, folks on this forum know this game, they aren't dumb, it is thousands of years old. And it just won't work here.
I grant you, yes, there are dozens of racists on this forum, but that does NOT however, justify the government taking their money, just so your family and friends can live better, because, hundreds of years ago, people who had similar DNA, might have oppressed your relatives. That is insanity, and I do believe, you are smart enough to know that.
