(GOPUSA)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>American University&#8217;s Ibram Kendi proposed a federal level Department of Anti-racism. Their job will be to remove people, policies, and statements deemed racist. Based on the trends of what gets labeled as &#8220;racist&#8221;, this appears to be a &#8220;group think enforcer&#8221;. Kendi suggests that this department would clear local, state, and federal policies before implementation.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">From Politico:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>To fix the original sin of racism, Americans should pass an anti-racist amendment to the U.S. Constitution that enshrines two guiding anti-racist principals: Racial inequity is evidence of racist policy and the different racial groups are equals. The amendment would make unconstitutional racial inequity over a certain threshold, as well as racist ideas by public officials (with &#8220;racist ideas&#8221; and &#8220;public official&#8221; clearly defined). It would establish and permanently fund the Department of Anti-racism (DOA) comprised of formally trained experts on racism and no political appointees. The DOA would be responsible for preclearing all local, state and federal public policies to ensure they won&#8217;t yield racial inequity, monitor those policies, investigate private racist policies when racial inequity surfaces, and monitor public officials for expressions of racist ideas. The DOA would be empowered with disciplinary tools to wield over and against policymakers and public officials who do not voluntarily change their racist policy and ideas.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/interactives\/2019\/how-to-fix-politics-in-america\/inequality\/pass-an-anti-racist-constitutional-amendment\/\">article<\/a> was published on Politico back in 2019.
