“Every time you see a Democratic leader refuse to recognize racism as a decisive factor in the victories of Trump Republicans, you are witnessing a Democratic leader open the door to the future victories of Trump Republicans,” says Director of the Center for Antiracist Research Ibram X. Kendi. “Denying and ignoring racism is a losing proposition for Democrats. If the Democratic Party is open to radically transforming itself, then any winning proposition must include antiracism and must include openly and aggressively challenging racism.”
