Perhaps they don't intend to read Kendi or DiAngelo, but it seems they defend their ideas uncritically.
I didn't read DiAngelo's book. I read Kendi's and the Fields's. The first reads like a catechism, the latter reads like a scientific study. It's a big difference.

"Racecraft" is a great book. People interested in race issues should read this instead of the cult manuals produced by Kendi and DiAngelo.
I doubt that anybody on a Marxism mailing list ever had any intentions of reading Kendi and DiAngelo. The real debate is between a Marxism based on WEB Dubois, CLR James, Manning Marable and David Roediger and one based on Barbara Fields, Adolph Reed Jr., Cedric Johnson and Dustin Guastella. Provisionally, I have no opinions on "Racecraft", never having read it, but if it supports the notion that George Floyd's murder has nothing to do with being Black, I have my doubts.
