Kendipalooza: The Only Remedy to Past Discrimination is Present Discrimination #1

In his best-selling book "How to Be an Antiracist," Ibram Xolani Kendi (born Ibram Henry Rogers), wrote, “The only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination. The only remedy to present discrimination is future discrimination.”

This claim, more than any other we examined on our Reverse Q&A tour, needs thoughtful examination because it is the core idea behind “equity”—a principle that has transformed virtually every institution in our society within the last seven years. And this is exactly why I conducted the epistemological exercise/game with this statement more than any other.
