Kendi’s grift finally catches up.
You remember Ibram X. Kendi.
He’s not just any ordinary person. He’s a genius, and I have proof. In 2021, he was awarded the prestigious MacArthur “genius grant” worth $625,000. This grant recognized his exceptional creativity, scholarly achievements, and his ability to effectively communicate his antiracist work to diverse audiences.
But that’s not all. Boston University, impressed by Kendi’s anti-racist efforts, also gave him a grant. However, let me tell you something about Kendi. Despite his accolades, he’s actually the author of some mediocre books and spouts nonsense for a living. His nonsense revolves around the idea that America is inherently and irreversibly racist.
According to Kendi, racism is present in every aspect of American society, including our constitutional protections. But here’s the thing – he can’t even provide a clear definition of racism. He simply believes it exists wherever there is a disparity. In his book, “How to Be an Antiracist,” he defines racism as a collection of racist policies that lead to racial inequity, supported by racist ideas.
Let me give you an example of how absurd this is. Look at the NBA, where the majority of players are black, despite black people making up only 13% of the population. Does that mean there’s deep-rooted racism in the NBA? Of course not. Similarly, in hockey, most players are white, but that doesn’t mean there’s racism in the sport. Disparities exist in every industry and metric, and they’re influenced by various factors like geography and environment.
The truth is, Kendi’s claims about systemic racism are baseless. Yet, he continues to point out disparities as evidence of racism, making his job incredibly easy. But disparities alone do not prove racism.

In 2020, society took a dangerous turn. Instead of requiring evidence to prove racism, people could simply claim it without any substantiation. Anyone who disagreed was labeled as racist. This was a scam. The idea that American society is inherently racist is a lie. The notion that disparities in crime statistics are solely caused by racist policing is also a lie. Kendi’s magic trick is labeling colorblindness as racist. If you believe race shouldn’t matter, he calls you a racist. According to him, race matters because of disparities, and those disparities are evidence of racism. If you argue against this, he accuses you of being a racist.
So why am I talking about Ibram X. Kendi today? Because Boston University is finally launching an inquiry into his Center for Antiracist Research. It seems the whole center is nothing more than a scam.
Surprise, surprise. A person who can’t even define racism is being paid to promote anti-racism. It’s like a cult where the leader can’t explain their own terms. This inquiry was triggered by the center’s mass layoffs, mismanagement of funds, and lack of substantial research.
It’s hard to take a research-based approach when you don’t do any research. It’s a giant scam.
The message here is clear: if you can’t articulate why you deserve funding, just threaten to label people as racists or bigots if they don’t comply. That’s the game Kendi plays.
Boston University professor Phillipe Copeland, who used to work for Kendi’s center, rightly questions how such a premier center ended up in this situation. He emphasizes that it’s not just about individual leaders but also the cultures and systems that allow this to happen.
It’s a snake eating its own tail.

Why is it important to approach discussions on racism with critical thinking, nuance, and an understanding that progress is achieved through meaningful dialogue and collaboration
“denier” or “racist.” This kind of thinking is not only intellectually lazy, but it also undermines the progress we have made in dismantling actual racism in society.
Kendi’s argument that America is irreversibly racist ignores the strides we have made towards equality. It dismisses the fact that we have passed civil rights legislation, implemented affirmative action policies, and elected a black president. It disregards the efforts of countless individuals and organizations working tirelessly to create a more inclusive society.
Furthermore, Kendi’s narrow definition of racism fails to acknowledge the complexities of human interactions. It reduces racism to a simplistic binary, ignoring the intricacies of individual experiences and the multitude of factors that contribute to disparities.
Racism is not solely confined to one race or one group of people. It is a systemic issue that affects individuals of all backgrounds. Focusing on one aspect of inequality without considering the broader context is an oversimplification that does a disservice to the complexity of the issue.
It is important to have open and honest discussions about racism, but it is equally important to approach these discussions with critical thinking and nuance. Blanket statements that label an entire society as irreversibly racist do not foster productive dialogue; they only serve to divide us further.
As individuals, we must take the time to educate ourselves about the complexities of racism and understand that progress is not achieved by making sweeping generalizations. Real change comes from engaging in meaningful conversations, challenging our own biases, and working together to create a more inclusive society.
So, while Ibram X. Kendi may have received prestigious grants and accolades, it is important to critically examine the arguments he presents. We must question the one-dimensional perspective he espouses and strive for a more nuanced understanding of racism in order to truly address the issue at its core.
In conclusion, Ibram X. Kendi’s views on systemic racism are flawed, as they overlook the progress we have made and fail to consider the complexities of racism. It is crucial to approach discussions on racism with critical thinking, nuance, and an understanding that progress is achieved through meaningful dialogue and collaboration. Only then can we work towards creating a more inclusive and egalitarian society.
