‘Anti-Racist’ Huckster Kendi’s Next Book: ‘Goodnight Racism’
Penguin Young Readers announced Wednesday that bestselling “anti-racism” race hustler Ibram X. Kendi’s next book will be a children’s story called Goodnight Racism, apparently modeled after the classic children’s book Goodnight Moon.
“’Goodnight Racism’ is not about what is; it is about what can be,” Kendi wrote in a statement. “It is about the good morning of an equitable and just world after wishing racism goodnight.” The book is illustrated by Cbabi Bayoc and is scheduled to come out June 14.
Kendi won the National Book Award in 2016 for Stamped from the Beginning: The Definitive History of Racist Ideas in America. He has since published three books, including How to Be An Antiracist and a collaboration with Jason Reynolds, STAMPED: Racism, Antiracism, and You. He is founding director of the Boston University Center for Antiracist Research.
Kendi — whose real name is the “whiter”-sounding Ibram Rogers — has become wealthy and influential by promoting the divisive, demonstrably false notion that white Americans are irredeemably racist and that the country is rooted in, and sustained by, racism and white supremacy. His most recent work, including his forthcoming book, seems designed to target the impressionable minds of young children, which Kendi can more easily indoctrinate into his racist worldview.

On July 7, 2021, Kendi spoke at an American Federation of Teachers conference where, in a conversation with AFT secretary-treasurer Fedrick C. Ingram, he discussed his 2019 book How to Be an Antiracist. Said Kendi: “In studying the history of racism, even studying the history of times in which people were being racist, what I found was a consistent, sort of, narrative was just denial, was, was people just denying the ways in which they were being racist, their racist policies, their racist ideas. People constantly and consistently, whether you’re a Ku Klux Klansman, a lyncher, or a slaveholder or segregationist, or, you know, someone today consistently claiming they’re not racist, no matter what they do or say. And I wanted the heartbeat, really, of this book to be the veritable opposite of that… [T]o be antiracist, is to admit the times which we’re being racist. To be racist, is to constantly consistently, deny, deny, deny, like Donald Trump.”
Kendi went on to deny, falsely, that critical race theory was being taught in K-12 schools. He also claimed that parents who believed that it was being taught to their children, had been fed “lies.” “To me, we live in a dangerously racist society,” he concluded.
