Kendi is a Marxist.

And as a Marxist, anything that smacks of capitalism is racist.

‘Everything that exists is either racist or anti-racist.’

This isn’t my diagnosis, but I’ve once heard someone say that one of the ills of the post-modernist worldview is that it applies literary analysis to reality.

It’s like the joke of ‘why did the author make the curtains blue?’

To these people, the world is the setting of a story about racism and social justice. It is their interpretation of telos.

It’s like how religious fanatic preach that Earthquakes and floods are because so and so legalized porn. Or a drought killing a crop field is a sign that the Emperor has obviously lost the Mandate of Heaven.
