Dr. Ibram X. Kendi: "To be racist is to perceive white people as eternal natives and peoples of color as eternal immigrants." Birthright citizenship opposition, ICE agents of color, and third-term ambitions all flow from the same great replacement ideology. #GreatReplacement #ChainOfIdeas

Dr. Ibram X. Kendi spoke to me about why his research/book warns us that MAGA is going to get more anti-democratic and more violent going forward. It's deeply concerning: youtu.be/6uHdY2hamww

#24 Great. Horrifying. Worth the read but make sure to have little treats for yourself available as you read it to try to counter the crushing reality of our current era.

“When people can be made to believe that their slayers are their protectors—and their likeliest allies are their slayers—an authoritarian age becomes politically possible.” -- @ibramxk.bsky.social from his new book, "Chain of Ideas"

Geno Auriemma’s behavior towards Dawn Staley after his team lost last night embodied the raging resentment that peers of all races and ideologies often exhibit when they lose out to a Black person, when they see a Black person shining.

In their plunder of Black livelihoods, these litigants seemingly want all the resources for White people. So White people can retain their privileges as most of their livelihoods decline under this regime. www.usatoday.com/story/money/...

What a valuable conversation with author/historian, racism scholar @ibramxk.bsky.social. Here’s a clip.

Dear Houston, There was something about our book event Friday that brings me joy when I recall it. Maybe since a bookstore, a library, a civil rights organization, and a school—those vehicles out of this authoritarian age—partnered to bring us together. Or maybe because of you. Sincerely, Ibram

Looking forward to talking to @ibramxk.bsky.social on Substack Live Friday about his new book: “Chain of Ideas: The Origins of Our Authoritarian Age.” Join us!

Still thinking about conversation between @ibramxk.bsky.social & @ayannapressley.bsky.social last night. Congresswoman Pressley aptly explained that the attempts to erase &/or revise Black history are because it's been an effective guidebook to survival and freedom making/seeking #ChainOfIdeas

Yes, I do. The more great replacement financiers invest in AI, and the more AI steals our jobs, the more the propagandists of the AI investors will tell us that our jobs are being stolen by immigrants, Black people, Muslims, and women.

To believe White Americans are being replaced by immigrants of color is to believe birthright citizenship is facilitating this replacement. To believe birthright citizenship is facilitating the imaginary great replacement is to believe ending this constitutional principle will save (White) America.

Highly recommend Ibram X. Kendi’s new book, Chain of Ideas: The Origins of Our Authoritarian Age. Listened to it on audio using a Libro.fm credit.

Ibram X. Kendi - Once you can make people believe that they’re losing out, or their lives are being lost, or that they are even facing a genocide, then you can present yourself as their protector and their savior ... (This is the essence of MAGA)
