    “The only remedy to racist discrimination is antiracist discrimination. The only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination”

      The only remedy to racist discrimination is antiracist discrimination

      “The Paradox of Tolerance” is easily solved if you stop thinking of Tolerance as an imperative, and instead as a social contract. Those who do not abide by the social contract of Tolerance are not protected by it.

      Therefore Racists, the anti-tolerant, will not be tolerated.

        Are you implying “anti racist discrimination” is justified by your quote? I agree with your quote, but it is not supportive of Kendi’s quote in the slightest. To discriminate is to “unjustly treat categories of people”, so if someone is acting racist and you don’t tolerate them, that is not discrimination at all because you are judging them for their actions, not their looks.

          so if someone is acting racist and you don’t tolerate them, that is not discrimination at all because you are judging them for their actions, not their looks.

          So what is the difference between that and “anti-racist discrimination”?
