Navy Chief of Operations Won’t Say Whether He Agrees that “Capitalism Is Essentially Racist”

Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Michael Gilday said he does not agree with everything Ibram X. Kendi, née Henry Rogers, writes in his bestselling book How to Be an Antiracist, during a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing on Tuesday. However, when pressed by Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) on a particular claim of the book — which Gilday put on a recommended reading list for sailors — the officer said he needed more “context” to either agree or disagree with the assertion that “capitalism is essentially racist.”
