## Verbatim (Penguin excerpt of *How to Be an Antiracist*)

> The only remedy to racist discrimination is antiracist discrimination. The only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination. The only remedy to present discrimination is future discrimination.

> The defining question is whether the discrimination is creating equity or inequity. If discrimination is creating equity, then it is antiracist. If discrimination is creating inequity, then it is racist.

## The other meter

Civil Rights Act 1964, Title VI / Title VII — discrimination against any individual because of race.

*Parents Involved in Community Schools v. Seattle School District No. 1*, 551 U.S. 701 (2007), Chief Justice Roberts:

> The way to stop discrimination on the basis of race is to stop discriminating on the basis of race.

AFT TEACH 2021 — Kendi on the program the week Weingarten said CRT is not taught in K-12.

Pamela Paul, *New York Times*, 5 October 2023: the “only remedy” line “would be softened in a future edition.”

## What this file does not do

It does not file “disparities have no cause.” It files *only* / *present discrimination* against the statute and the Court sentence that say the opposite.
