All week I've been writing about black thought leaders defending former Harvard president Claudine Gay against (proven) charges of plagiarism, with no thought at all for the black woman from whom she stole. The NAACP, Mara Gay, Nikole Hannah-Jones, Marc Lamont Hill, and Ibram X. Kendi have all come to her defense, knowing full well she's a serial plagiarist. The same people defending Gay against being hired because she's a black woman are excusing her academic theft because she's a black woman.
Speaking of Kendi, Libs of TikTok has dug up a newspaper column Kendi wrote when he was 21. Needless to say, it's interesting.
Ibram X Kendi aka Henry Rogers likes to accuse everyone of racism.

This is a real article he wrote.
He suggests white people are born aggressive & racist and they have a murderous tendency because they’re facing extinction and they’re out to destroy black people.

"Ibram is incredibly racist. But It’s racist against white people so it’s fine apparently."
Kendi wrote that he can't hate Europeans, but they are "a different breed" and are raised to be aggressive and racist:
Europeans are simply a different breed of human. They are socialized to be aggressive people. They are taught to live by the credo, “survival of the fittest.” They are raised to be racist.
Caucasians make up only 10 percent of the world’s population and that small percentage of people have recessive genes. Therefore they’re facing extinction. Whites have tried to level the playing field with the AIDS virus and cloning, but they know these deterrents will only get them so far. This is where the murder, psychological brainwashing and deception comes into play.
Europeans are trying to survive and I can’t hate them for that. However, I’m not going to just sit back and let them physically, mentally, socially, spiritually and economically destroy my people.
Although I don’t hate whites, I would still prefer to be in the field as opposed to the house.
Well, he doesn't hate whites, so that's a plus. He just hates the murder, psychological brainwashing, and deception.
This dude is a straight-up conspiracy theorist that should be writing pamphlets for the Nation of Islam but instead he works in the academy. Amazing. https://t.co/7zyMcJbM7c

And he gets paid $20,000 for a one-hour Zoom call. He's made quite a success of himself teaching others how to be "antiracist."
The media has tried (and is trying) to destroy black conservatives like Ben Carson and Justice Clarence Thomas. We're continually told that they don't speak for black people. "Uncle Tom" gets thrown around a lot.
Again, this was Kendi when he was a senior African American studies student. He wasn't going to sit back and let Europeans destroy his people. And so he was elevated by academia, perhaps the only place where someone with these beliefs could flourish.
I don't hate Kendi because he's black; I don't hate him at all. But "antiracism" is just a giant grift.
