The Imagine Neighborhood

No Filter with Dr. Ibram X. Kendi


Listen Later

My guest this week is the very kind and very smart Dr. Ibram X. Kendi (https://www.ibramxkendi.com). He’s a podcaster like me—but he’s also a professor, and a National Book Award winner, and a #1 New York Times bestselling author of really terrific books like Antiracist Baby (https://www.ibramxkendi.com/books) and Stamped (For Kids) (https://www.ibramxkendi.com/books)!We talked about playing basketball, and cardboard creations, and how when the people you care about are happy, it can make you feel happy too!But we also talked about serious things, like how there are some rules that aren’t fair to everyone, and that it’s up to us to change those rules! It reminded me of when Big Bot Burger made a rule that said Wastelanders couldn’t eat in their restaurants (https://www.imagineneighborhood.org/podcast-1/episode/31cbd0e6/doc-apoc-has-a-beef). That wasn’t fair, so we all joined together to protest, and we got rid of discrimination in our neighborhood! Dr. Kendi says that standing up to discrimination is one of the kindest things we can do, and I think he’s right.A great thing about meeting different people is that you can learn all sorts of new ways to be kind. Did you do something kind this week? Tell me about it (mailto:[email protected]), and then maybe I can do it too! Yay!
