Pickpick

The entire contents of this book will be upsetting to white, Protestant men in America and anyone who believes they should have all the power. Kendi addresses not just racism, but sexism, homophobia, xenophobia, classism, and ethnocentrism. If you think you‘re somehow special because you‘re white, you‘re going to have a problem with this book. Plain and simple.

GingerAntics He also used the word clitoris, which is certain to set off a lot of people, especially men, if they actually get that far in the book. 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 3y
GingerAntics Straight up, people need to read this book. If it angers you, good. You clearly need it. Read it again and again until you move past the anger and start seeing the truth. Racism is hurting you too. It‘s hurting everyone. I would love to know what is racist about this book? 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 3y
GingerAntics It is certainly not anti-white people, because he mentions anti-racist white people throughout history left and right while also mentioning racist black and brown people left and right. He even admits his own racist views (against black people) in his past. He calls out everybody. 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 3y

GingerAntics He praises everybody who see all human beings, no matter their skin color, gender, country of origin, who they love, etc equal to everybody else, regardless of their skin color, gender, country of origin, who they love, etc. 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 3y
GingerAntics My only complaint is of the narrator. He doesn‘t seem to know how to pronounce a few words. Monticello is the greatest offender. Did no one think to tell him any of the hundred times he said the word that it‘s a ch sound, but an s sound? It made the second section painful at times. This is in no way Kendi‘s fault, obviously, and doesn‘t take away from the vast amount of work and research he put into this book. 3y

It‘s amazing how often, as a history MA student, you deal with “white, male, Protestant” power. The history these morons want everyone to learn, is the history of white, male, Protestants, not factual history of any kind. As far as I‘m concerned, they can suck it.

Does this really sound racist to anyone? This seems to be the proof that everyone railing against this book and it‘s YA (and now MG) version haven‘t even read the book they are trying to ban.

The narrator, Christopher Dontrell Piper, doesn‘t know how to say the word Monticello, and apparently no one felt the need to tell him how to actually say it. This word features quite prominently in the second section of this book, and it‘s getting grating. I have literally never heard it referred to as MontiSello before. He Piper also doesn‘t know how to pronounce Immanuel Kant‘s last name. Again, where was the director?!

GingerAntics This, of course, in no way, is Kendi‘s fault. His work is actually quite good. It‘s Piper who is distracting from it. #StampedFromTheBeginning #Stamped #IbramXKendi #audiobook #BannedBooksWeek (edited) 3y

Notice, he said NOTHING about white people being bad, just that they aren‘t as special as they think they are. Of course, anytime you tell someone they‘re not as special as they think they are, they get upset.
(enter Dana Carvey as the Church Lady) Isn‘t that special.

I know this isn‘t technically the book that was banned, but it‘s the adult/super academic version of the book the banned book is based on. I own this audiobook, so I figured it was high time I gave it a listen.

GingerAntics I‘m probably not going to be able to finish this before the end of Banned Books Week, but that‘s okay. 3y
