“Then again, not everything is questionable. Facts are not questionable. Not all racial questions are antiracist. Our questions should be premised on the basic fact of our common humanity. To be racist is to assume that racial groups are not, or may not be, equals. This racist assumption ignores the nearly six centuries of power constructing the races and failing to prove that these racialized groups are anything but equals. To be antiracist is to assume that racial groups are equals. These different assumptions lead to different questions. Racist: What is wrong with those people? Antiracist: What is wrong with these racist policies? Different questions lead to different solutions. Racist: changing people. Antiracist: changing policy. The question—if wielded in antiracist fashion—is the most powerful sentence. The question is the seed to knowing. This process of persistent questioning is the key to critical thinking. To raise an antiracist is to raise a critical thinker.”
