“I don’t think white people worldwide have really reckoned with how much their own personal identity is shaped by constructions of whiteness, and how much that construction of whiteness prevents white people from connecting with humanity,”

In September of 2020, just weeks after Ibram X. Kendi launched the Center for Antiracist Research at Boston University, the school approved a $600,000 mortgage to an unnamed professor. The university won’t say which professor that loan went to, but it was doled out to a trust controlled by Ibram X. Kendi’s brother-in-law, Macharia Edmonds. The mortgage helped to cover the down payment for a $4.56 million luxury penthouse triplex that boasts the "best of sophisticated Boston living." Public real estate records obtained by the Washington Free Beacon show the trust is controlled by Edmonds, a former Obama campaign official...

When Ibram X. Kendi’s preposterous thesis that “the only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination” becomes mainstream practice, you know things are upside down. Kendi is the author of the poorly reasoned 2019 leftist propaganda book, “How to Be an Antiracist,” which became not only a bestseller, but a clarion call for progressives. In a speech at the Aspen Ideas Festival, Kendi put his anti-reasoning skills on display, according to the New York Post. “When I see racial disparities, I see racism,” Kendi said. If that isn’t a blanket generalization, the logical fallacy of that name has no meaning....

Rapper Ice Cube discussed the dangers of “cancel culture” and declared that now is the time to fight for freedom of speech during an interview with Piers Morgan on his “Uncensored” show. “People are very polarized in all kinds of ways. People are afraid to speak out because of the cancer culture — cancel; I said cancer — cancel culture that we have today,” Ice Cube said. “So I just think, you know, people are afraid, and they’re running to their corners,” he said “In a way, it is a cancer, cancel culture,” Morgan said. “It behaves like that.” “It...

Boise State University is dragging its feet in releasing a copy of the contract the school signed with racist speaker Ibram X. Kendi. The university’s spokesman, Mike Sharp, sent the Idaho Freedom Foundation an email Wednesday that said it could take the school until Feb. 1 to locate the records we’re looking for: the contract with Kendi, costs, and terms for participating in BSU’s Martin Luther King, Jr. celebration earlier this week. That’s ridiculous. It’s an obvious misuse of the state’s public records law, and it’s designed to buy the school time as it gets ready to release what I...

Do you support the Second Amendment freedom to keep and bear arms? If so, you are akin to people who fought for the right to own slaves! That is, if you believe Ibram X. Kendi, a CBS News "Racial Justice Contributor," and anti-racism maven. Appearing on Sunday's Face the Nation on the occasion of Juneteenth, host Margaret Brennan asked the radical Kendi how he would explain the meaning of the holiday to his six-year-old daughter. Replied Kendi: "I'm actually going to teach her that . . . throughout this nation's history, there's been two perspectives on freedom, really two fights...

I loved strawberry shortcake as a child in New York City. The sliced strawberries, the juice, the softest of cake, that whipped cream. I loved it all individually. And together? Pure bliss.

Boston University professor said the Republican Party is making it hard for individuals to learn about history. A professor at Boston University said that Republicans are "the party of white supremacy." In an op-ed for The Atlantic, Ibram X. Kendi, Boston University Andrew W. Mellon professor in the Humanities and Director of the Center for Antiracist Research said that Republicans are not the party of "any group of parents," but rather "the party of white supremacy." Kendi wrote in the op-ed that Republican opposition to critical race theory means it is "clearly" not the party of parents. "The Republican Party...

For a prominent anti-capitalist, delivering a one-hour speech pays nearly half of what the average American makes in a year. Controversial author and critical race theory advocate Ibram X. Kendi reportedly earned over $500 per minute to give a speech at the University of Virginia in April 2021. According to a contract obtained by the Daily Wire, the University of Virginia paid Kendi $32,500 to host an hour-long discussion on "racial equity." According to Statista, the average American's annual salary was about $71,456 in 2020. The fee the public university paid to the anti-capitalist activist breaks down to $541 per...

CHICAGO — A historian devoted to keeping alive the stories of long-dead victims of racial violence along the Texas-Mexico border and a civil rights activist whose mission is to make sure people who leave prison are free to walk into the voting booth are among this year’s MacArthur fellows and recipients of “genius grants.” The Chicago-based John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation on Tuesday announced the 25 recipients, who will each receive $625,000. Race figures prominently in the work of about half of them, including that of Ibram X. Kendi, author of “How to be an Antiracist” and “Stamped...

Tomorrow (Today) is Election Day, an off-year election in the state of Virginia. Glenn Miller is an attorney from McLean, right across the river from Washington. Like most lawyers in the D.C. suburbs, he's a loyal Democrat. In 2016, he voted for Hillary Clinton. Last fall, he voted for Joe Biden. And yet, tomorrow he says he's voting for the Republican Glenn Youngkin in the Virginia governor's race. At a Youngkin rally over the weekend, he explained why. The tipping point, Miller told the New York Times, came one day as he was working from home and heard his teenage...

In a video posted on Twitter Ibram X. Kendi, the man celebrated by the left for his efforts to insert Critical Race Theory in the nation’s schools, said it was “horrifying” when his daughter announced she wanted to be a boy. “Even talking about gender, you know, I think it was last week my daughter came home and said she wanted to be a boy,” Kendi said in a video that includes his name on the screen. “You know, which was horrifying for my wife to hear, myself to hear.

'Love’s 2019 book, 'We Want to Do More Than Survive,' is arguably the single most comprehensive and up-to-date guide to the ideology of the CRT movement in education.'Bettina L. Love, an “anti-racist” professor at the University of Georgia, is an Ibram X. Kendi figure who is also reaching thousands of American children and paid by taxpayer dollars. In addition to preaching critical race theory (CRT) in public schools across the nation, including, as reported by The Federalist, at an Indiana conference for teachers backed by taxpayer dollars, the Biden administration quietly supported Love’s work before that became too hot to...

In what is sure to be a crippling blow to Critical Race Theory advocates, a recent decision in the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals tested CRT and found it unconstitutional. ...

Critical race theorist Ibram X. Kendi, author and contributing writer for The Atlantic, on Tuesday revealed “so many students” have come to his classrooms “angry” that they never learned about systemic racism and racism in high school. CBS “This Morning” host Tony Dokoupil asked Kendi, “Ibram, on the subject of learning, there’s a push in schools across the country from Republicans, in particular, to emphasize the more patriotic, in their view, elements of our history as opposed to some of the darker chapters — in particular, not teaching the idea of systemic racism. As a college professor yourself, as someone...

The attempted denigration of Jane Austen reveals how upscale, white elites view caring about anti-racism as a marker of status.The woke may regret going after Jane Austen. Last month it was reported that exhibits at the Jane Austen Museum were being revamped as staff are“re-evaluating Jane Austen’s place in ‘Regency-era colonialism’ in the wake of Black Lives Matter protests.” This attempt to evaluate Austen according to the American upper class’s current racial obsessions mostly reveals the blind spots those obsessions encourage. Many of Austen’s fans were furious at this attempted denigration of the great authoress. This anger was intensified by...

As His Second Coming approached, Jesus taught, “many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many” (Matthew 24:11; all references KJV). That has certainly come to pass. We have had many false secular prophets over the past two hundred years or so, from Marx to Freud to Foucault, whose toxic, dehumanizing ideas have alienated people from God and led to much human pain, suffering, and death. Indeed, they have deceived many. The most dangerous false prophets, however, are those who wrap themselves in the cloak of religion, who “come to [us] in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravening wolves” (Matthew...

Adm. Michael Gilday has refused to pull anti-white books from the U.S. Navy reading list, reports Fox News, despite pressure from House Republicans.Adm. Michael Gilday has refused to pull anti-white books from the U.S. Navy reading list, reports Fox News, despite pressure from House Republicans. Several members of Congress, most of them veterans, sent Gilday a letter objecting to the inclusion of these extremist works on the military’s recommended list. Gilday essentially told these elected officials who oversee his service to take a hike, saying that adding the racially divisive works was the result of military leadership’s attempts “to identify...
