A lot of people are wondering if some butthead professor from Boston University has had his account hacked. Ibram X. Kendi, who’s argued that the phrase “not racist” be stricken from our collective vocabulary, is making sense. Most of us are worried about the division of humanity, and that’s what has us so worried about the cancer that is critical race theory that is making inroads into government agencies.
If we allow the total destruction of truth and facts and science, if we allow all to become differing beliefs and opinions, then the human divides will grow until humanity destroys itself.

You been hacked, bro?
— Konstantin Kisin (@KonstantinKisin) October 17, 2020
Seriously though, are you experiencing some sort of epiphany?
— Ryhope Ranger (@RangerRyhope) October 17, 2020
Wait, you are preaching against division??
— Danny ?????? (@dhmetcalfe) October 17, 2020
A good argument against CRT

Am glad to see you coming around. I very much encourage you on your new journey. Never too late to turn back from hateful and destructive ideologies. Gambate. ❤️
— Th. Rodrigues ?☠️ ?? (@DrTandtheLg) October 17, 2020
Thanks for finally coming to your senses. That CRT snake oil you had been pedaling was actually dangerous. Kudos for admitting when you're wrong.
Apology accepted.
— TheKBird (@angrykbird) October 17, 2020
Whoa. Kudos for denouncing all of your previous work. I look forward to your new pursuit of evidence and critical thinking over Critical Theory.
— J. Halvor Saxerud? (@JakobHalvor) October 17, 2020
So you’re finally against Critical Theory? Proud of your growth.

Glad you finally have come to your senses.

Omg. You saw the light. Don't worry, CRT will just be a bad memory. With time you will heal. Welcome home!!

When did you start speaking sense? Are you high right now?
— Cyrus Kingsley my idol is General Marshall ⚔️ (@OrigBoldRoyalty) October 17, 2020
Fully agree. Let's keep the sciences from the harm done to the humanities via critical theory, post-structuralism, and relativism.
— Adam Ellwanger (@DoctorEllwanger) October 17, 2020
You are part of a movement that advocates and agitates for the destruction of truth, facts, and science.
— Ben (@V2_ICEMAN) October 17, 2020
Wow we agree ? amazing!
— melonfraufrau art & design (@melonfraufrau) October 17, 2020
Cool.
So did you denounce protests at the end of May? https://t.co/JYe4jJ0rX5

I’d love to hear his definitions of “truth”—“facts”—and “science”!!
— Eric Henne (@terichenne) October 17, 2020
You mean truth and facts and science as you, and only you, define it and, yeah, I'm going with nah. https://t.co/UC9t2xL0ou

2+2 is not white supremacy … it's just 4. https://t.co/9aTG7A6pYS
— ₿rrrrrrrrrr (@Danierrrrrrrl) October 17, 2020
So, what are the objective, empirical standards and methods by which we can analyze your work? I have been reliably informed that the scientific method itself is a product of white supremacy.
— Ethan Davis (@Ethanveritas) October 17, 2020
Wait, so you're pro science and objectivity now? Because those were "whiteness" last I heard, and lived experience was truth, and the enlightenment was bad, and nothing is good, just different…

Tell it to these folks who are not fans of "scientific, linear thinking," "rationalism," expertise, advanced degrees and even "mechanical time."https://t.co/cBIJWU12AJ
— John Sexton (@verumserum) October 17, 2020
Cool, then can we agree on this truth:
Your worldview maintains we cannot ever transcend racism, because in order for there to be “antiracism” there needs to be “racism,” therefore you promote the idea of a human society that eternally thinks in racial categories.
— High School History Teacher (@hist0ryteachers) October 17, 2020
Finally you say something that makes sense. Now will you retract your earlier statements that contradict this?

Well this is rich coming from you, but hey—all are welcome aboard the truth wagon even if they've spent their time previously trying to dismantle it https://t.co/w9XsmiH63c

Haha this dude is arguing with himself. He is right here, of course. But this flies directly in the face of literally everything else he preaches. https://t.co/OcN1jW7fE3

Are you understanding how destructive your book has been and coming around!? That would be welcome and amazing.
— Alexandra_of_the_North (@Alexandraofthe1) October 17, 2020
Liking this in good faith even though I’m absolutely concerned about CRT and believe that it needs to be criticized to separate what it gets right and where it oversteps to the point that it’s dangerous to culture and society. Taking this to indicate you’re open to discussion.
— Ripcityrealist (@ripcityrealist) October 17, 2020
2020 has taken a real turn when people like Kendi actually say something that makes legitimate sense.
— Nunya Buyzzness (@buyzzness) October 17, 2020
Is this man high or did somebody hack his account? The only explanation I see for him speaking actual sense. https://t.co/NUvd8poBqd
— Cyrus Kingsley my idol is General Marshall ⚔️ (@OrigBoldRoyalty) October 17, 2020
First thing you've said that I actually agree with. I just wish you realized that antiracism as you define it – and 'wokeness' more generally – falls into this category of destruction of truth, facts and science. https://t.co/BPvjVkHtLU
— Owen Lewis (@is_OwenLewis) October 17, 2020
Maybe that $10 million by @jack was just to get him to shut up about Critical Race Theory. https://t.co/aV2qqxiLuL
— Jules Ma (@indyholland) October 17, 2020
A “scientific” study is what gave us “truths” like “objectivity” being a characteristic of white supremacy:
