Chapter 12 - How To Be An Antiracist - Ibram X. Kendi

Chapter 12 - Class

Class Racist: One who is racializing the classes, supporting policies of racial capitalism against those race-classes, and justifying them by racist ideas about those race-classes. 
Antiracist Anticapitalist: One who is opposing racial capitalism.

"Whoever creates the norm creates the hierarchy and positions their own race-class at the top of the hierarchy." Pg. 153.

Conjoined twins - capitalism and racism - were born together with the transatlantic slave trade of African people.

"In the twenty-first century, persisting racial inequities in poverty, unemployment, and wealth show the lifework of the conjoined twins." Pg. 157.

The history of capitalism --of world warring, classing, slave trading, enslaving, colonizing, depressing wages, and dispossessing land and labor and resources and rights--bears out the conservative definition of capitalism." Pg. 161.

To be antiracist is to recognize neither poor Blacks nor elite Blacks as the truest representative of Black people.

Self-Examination.
To love capitalism can lead to a love racism. I will advocate to remove profit motive in areas such as education, healthcare, utilities, mass media and incarceration. I will advocate for policies that don't create hierarchy.
