Stamped From The Beginning

Ibram X. Kendi's "Stamped from the Beginning: The Definitive History of Racist Ideas in America" — a sweeping history that reframes how we understand racism, arguing that racist ideas were created to justify discriminatory policies, not the other way around. Covers 5 use cases: ① Understanding the history of racism in America — ("how did racism start" "history of race in America") ② Learning about key figures in the antiracist struggle — ("abolitionists" "civil rights" "Du Bois") ③ Distinguishing segregationist, assimilationist, and antiracist ideas — ("three types of racism") ④ Understanding how policy drives racist ideas — ("redlining" "mass incarceration" "voter suppression") ⑤ Applying antiracist thinking today — ("how to be antiracist" "what can I do" "education") Trigger when users say: "Ibram X. Kendi" "Stamped from the Beginning" "racist ideas" "antiracist" "racism" "history of racism" "segregation" "civil rights" "white supremacy" "slavery" "Du Bois" "Cotton Mather" "Thomas Jefferson" "abolition" "Black Lives Matter" "critical race theory" "discrimination" "racial inequality" "voter suppression" "mass incarceration" Also triggers when the user says they just installed this skill or doesn't know how to start.
