RESPOND (Discussion post): What common themes do Ibram X. Kendi, Daryl Davis, and Coleman Hughes explore in their respective arguments about race? Where do they see eye to eye, and where might there be contrast in the ways in which they articulate contemporary views on race in America? Critique their use of evidence. Do they meet the prima facie burden of proof? How do their respective styles of argumentation differ? How might the theory of cognitive dissonance help us understand how people might process their respective arguments? Which is the most persuasive and why?
