Ibram X. Kendi: Understanding and Embracing Antiracism

In order to get beyond racism, we must first take account of race.
What does it truly mean to be an antiracist? In this thought-provoking episode of 'The One You Feed', host Eric Zimmer sits down with Ibram X. Kendi, a renowned author, historian, and Director of the Center for Antiracist Research at Boston University. Kendi, who won the National Book Award for Non-Fiction for his book *Stamped From The Beginning: The Definitive History Of Racist Ideas In America*, shares insights from his latest work, *How To Be An Antiracist*.
The conversation delves into the heart of racism and discrimination in America, offering a nuanced look at what it means to be actively antiracist. Kendi explains how to identify racist policies, the importance of viewing individual behaviors in the context of systemic issues, and the role of implicit bias. He also discusses the intersection of poverty and crime, challenging listeners to reflect on their own biases and take steps toward fostering a more equitable society.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone committed to understanding and combating racism on a deeper level.
