How to Be an Antiracist Lesson Plan

According to Kendi, what is the impact of racist ideas?

Kendi argues that racist ideas make people of color feel inferior, and this makes them more vulnerable to racist ideas. Racist ideas bolster the egos of white people so they are more attracted to racist ideals. With this argument, Kendi shows that racist ideas can be perpetuated by and within both white people and people of color. This thought challenges the idea that racist ideas only impact people of color and are only disseminated by white people. Kendi points out the idea that he was bombarded with the message that Black people were not studious. He internalized that message, which came from multiple places.
