Walmart = Racism is true if you apply the definition of “Racist” that is in the book How to be an Antiracist which was written by Ibram X. kendi himself. His definition states that racism is quote “RACIST: One who is supporting a racist policy through their actions or inaction or expressing a racist idea.” It appears that Walmart has grown tired of it’s primary base of customers. Of course, I am referring to the white customers that have supported it for so long.
Unless I have been badly misinformed. Racism is when one or more groups promote themselves as being superior to another group. In fact, the dictionary states the following. “Racism is a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human racial groups determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one’s own race is superior and has the right to dominate others or that a particular racial group is inferior to the others.”
So How can Mr. Kendi claim to be an antiracist when he openly promotes the idea that whites are in fact superior or inferior depending upon your POV to POC and thus must openly proclaim that they are racist.
Then how does Walmart get away with teaching more than 1,000 employees through critical race theory training that emphasis’s that the U.S. is a “white supremacy system” and those white trainees are guilty of “white supremacy thinking” and “internalized racial superiority,” according to a new report.
The training also claims that the “white supremacy culture” is defined by several qualities, including “individualism,” “objectivity,” “paternalism,” “defensiveness,” “power hoarding,” “right to comfort,” and “worship of the written word.”
It adds that “discussions about racist conditioning” should occur in racially segregated groups as “people of color and white people have their own work to do in understanding and addressing racism,” the report notes.
They are implying that Whites and POC cannot understand the same information and need to be in segregated groups. If this is true, then why has this country been fighting since the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to give every child the same level of education by including them in the same classrooms, using the same books, and the same teachers in the same schools.
This appears to me to be an incredible case of hypocrisy on the part of Walmart and of Mr. Kendi.
