His books deserve a careful proof reading and fact checking, not awards.
I add a small point. On page 42 of How to Be an Antiracist, Kendi quotes a statistic on the proportion of black people killed by police 40 years ago. I could not find the source but suspect it to be overstated. If true it would mean police have dramatically reduced the proportion of black victims of police shootings.
Excellent critique. Long overdue.
