Assimilationists smear antiracists with the same hate-filled label they give segregationists
Evidence
It was customary for assimilationists to charge antiracists as being like segregationists—all hate-filled and irrational. These fabricated labels would marginalize antiracists throughout the twentieth century, would one day even marginalize the elderly antiracist Du Bois. — Ibram X. Kendi, Stamped from the Beginning, 759
Categorization

- XREF: Plugs into the reader’s goal of placing arguments into Kendi’s three-way scheme; this is the labeling-dynamics case.
