Dr. Ibram X. Kendi, “ The most dangerous racist idea—great replacement theory—has become the most dominant political theory of our time. Great replacement theory and its metastasizing variants claim that White people—along with Christians, citizens, men, heterosexuals, and ethnic majorities—are facing invasions and in need of dictatorial protection. But it is not a new idea: its roots trace back to some of the most harmful ideologies in the history of the modern world. I chart great replacement theory’s reemergence and global spread in my new book, CHAIN OF IDEAS: The Origins of Our Authoritarian Age.”
