Kendi argues America still racist despite vast successes of black Americans
“Anti-racist” writer and Boston University humanities Professor Ibram Kendi said that Republican Sen. Tim Scott, a presidential hopeful, needs to look at “communities” to understand racism.
“I think Senator Scott wanted to focus on individuals, because there certainly have been individuals who, over the generations, have been rising into positions that previous generations, they would not have been able to,” Kendi said in a Thursday MSNBC interview with Al Sharpton, the Washington Free Beacon reported.
“But at the same time, you have black people who are being—their votes are being suppressed,” Kendi said. “Both are happening at the same time.”
