In this article the author explains why it is completely possible to claim a strong identity of being "anti-racist" while simultaneously being complicit with the many covert forms of systemic racism from which one inherently (and perhaps unconsciously) benefits. To be anti-racist is to say that one is against racism, but have no intent to act against it, which co-opts and misuses its action-oriented definitions and intentions (Kendi, 2019). The author suggests "disrupt" as a better term, one that is more well-suited to an authentic fight for equity.
