I’m trying to figure out WTF this idiot is talking about. Anti-racist–so, I guess, someone who hates racists (?), versus people who are colorblind? Wouldn’t there be a major overlap between those two sets? I mean, this cover makes NO sense at all.
Apparently you’ve been fortunate enough not to run across this particular debate. Without getting too far into the weeds, “Anti-Racism” is a belief that you can’t be “not racist,” you’re either racist or you’re “anti-racist” and actively working to counter racism. Under that worldview, “colorblindness” is impossible and those who claim it are simply trying to avoid dealing with systemic problems.
Like I said, I don’t want to turn this into a political argument, so I’ll just say you should look up Ibram X. Kendi if you want to know more about it, and meanwhile, this cover sucks.
My GOD.

Everything you said could have come from my own mouth (or fingertips).
Oh! So, that’s what it’s called. Yes, I’ve (sadly) run into this debate, but I didn’t realize it was actually called “anti-racist vs. colorblind.”
I guess I was argumentblind to it. 🙂
Yeah, let’s not all get into it. And yes, that cover is appallingly bad, no matter what the damned text is.
2064 we will have left handed ARs for anti-racists v the color blind?
I hope they have right-handed bolt carrier groups & jam their guns.
