Kendi is laughing all the way to the bank.<\/p>\n<p>Kendi is being condescendingly arrogant to other black people, painting them as being a special class who shatter under the pressures of meritocracy, expectation, ability and qualification.<\/p>\n<p>He fights racism with racism and pretends to be virtuous and morally superior.
