I. X. K. and N. S.
As Im sure youve deduced from that whole Inspired by the #1 New York Times bestseller How to Be an Antiracist statement on the cover, this book is... inspired by the #1 New York Times bestseller How to Be an Antiracist, the paradigm-shifting memoir written by Dr. Ibram X. Kendi.
And the inspired by is very important. Because this book is structured differently than its source of inspiration. Hence me, your beloved narrator, Nic Stone, including this pre-intro as a bit of a road map for the nonlinear journey youre about to take through Dr. Kendis life.
Said journey is broken up into three parts (or acts, if we want to get all narratively fancy with it):
The concepts covered heredefinitions, dueling consciousness, power, biology, behavior, Black, and Whiteare all about turning inward and are focused on examining the paradigms, aka foundational thoughts and ideas, that form our views of ourselves and other people.
Once weve done some self-examination and rejiggering, itll be time to turn outward and take a microscopic-level look into the ways that racism permeates the world we live in and intersects with other forms of people being awful to each other. Were talking color, ethnicity, body, gender, orientation, class, culture, and space.
This is where we get about that action, boss. Were moving from failure to success and digging into what INiccall the Four Cs of Changemaking: cogency, compassion, creativity, and collaboration. Well also make sure we have a solid grip on the power of pushing forward in spite of obstacles. And I know that a lot of you readers feel like youre ready to get out there and tear down the vile walls of racism, so, like, why not just jump to this section first, right?
Well, you could, obviously...
But in my humble opinion, it would behoove you to read the other two sections first.
Because as you, dear reader, will come to discover, being antiracist is more than a quick and easy decision you make. (And you dont have to make it right now, by the way. Do yourselfand the worlda favor by reading the book first.)
Being antiracist is... Well, I wont spoil it.
Just buckle up and get ready for the ride.
Your (Racist) Introduction
The year is 2000, and you, Ibram X. Kendi, are seventeen years old.
You hate wearing suits. And ties.
Hate it.
Today, though, youre in a suit and tieblack button-down, black slacks, golden-brown blazer, slick boots the color of the half-and-half youve seen adults pour into coffee, and the brightest, boldest tie you could find. Youre also standing somewhere you never expected to be, about to do something you never expected to do.
Its your senior year of high school, and youre mere months from graduation. Getting there felt like a hard-fought battle with one arm tied behind your back. So being here? In this chapel with upward of three thousand people seated in rows that curve around the long, arched pulpit, all waiting to hear what YOU have to say? Flanked by two other Black high schoolers also dressed to the nines and waiting for their turns at the mic?
Yeah, this feels real good.
Its the perfect cap to a series of events that turned your worldboth outer and inner, your sense of yourself and your capabilitiescompletely upside down. True, your competitors in the final round of the Prince William County Martin Luther King Jr. Oratorical Contest are a lot (book) smarter than you are. They certainly get better grades than the ones that make up your sub-3.0 GPA. And their SAT scores are hundreds of points higher than yours. You barely cracked 1000...
But you are here, just like they are.
You won your high school oratorical competition, as you presume they did. You moved on to a countywide round, which they did as well. You were voted best before the judge, which is how you wound up right here beside them on this makeshift stage.
And the best part: Just like them, youre headed to college.
Now, this might not sound like a huge dealobviously, youre eventually going to college, right? Your parents both went, and from what youve heard, thats what all smart people do after graduating from high school. No-brainer.
The truth is, though, for a while you didnt feel very smart. Youd dropped out of your IB English class because you couldnt get your head around Shakespeare.
