A woke sermon—from a well-paid minister who speaks his truth—is coming to a public library near you.

Controversial author Ibram X. Kendi spoke Wednesday evening at the Fairfax County Public Library in Virginia, just outside the nation’s capital.

Kendi, director of the Center for Antiracist Research at Boston University, is the author of the 2019 book “How to Be an Antiracist.”

The heartbeat of racism, Kendi said in his library talk, “is denial, which is consistently and constantly saying, ‘I’m not racist.'”

It’s the classic Kafka trap, in which denial is the proof of guilt.

The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.
