Kendi gonna Kendi: When racial grifters tell you who they are, believe them

Ibram Kendi – Race Baiting Grifter

Ibram X. Kendi has done as he promised. In 2020, freshly anointed as the director of Boston University’s new Center for Antiracist Research (CAR), Kendi announced his intention to “transform how racial research is done.” Previously, “research” had been understood to involve collecting data, analyzing trends and gathering new insights through the careful application of sustained thought. But these expectations were hallmarks of white supremacy. This week, as allegations of wanton mismanagement emerge from Kendi’s staff, it appears that what it means to do “racial research” has indeed been transformed: it now entails taking vast sums of other people’s money, then using it to produce almost nothing.

Black Lives Matter Protests Led to Fewer Police Killings, More Murders: Study

During the five-year period of the study, reported murders rose by about 11.5 percent.

While police killings declined in the aftermath of Black Lives Matter (BLM) protests, a recent study found that there was a jump in homicides as police became “less proactive” due to worries about public perception and lawsuits.

The Sept. 14 study analyzed two major waves of BLM protests—those following the death of Michael Brown, from 2014 to 2015, and those following the death of George Floyd, from 2020 to 2021.

Colin Kaepernick makes a bid to return to the shackles of the NFL, gets rejected

 

If the NFL is a plantation, and the processes of the Scouting Combine are akin to those at bygone slave auctions, then why is Colin Kaepernick trying to return to a life of chains? As Delano Squires put it, “So he’s asking to return to the same ‘plantation’ where he toiled for years before being manumitted? I’ve never seen an abolitionist who hated his freedom this much.”

It’s Not Racist to Identify Cultural Roots for Criminality

Examining all credible theories of crime helps us identify the true cause of the problem — which is what we should want.

I apparently touched a nerve when I wrote in a recent op-ed that exceptionally high homicide rates among young low-income black males in big cities can be traced to a “subculture of violence,” which I defined as “a propensity to resort to violence to resolve interpersonal conflict.” What really set off hundreds of readers was the following: “This traces back to the nineteenth century South, where whites manifested similar behavior, dubbed an ‘honor culture’ by historians. Blacks, overwhelmingly southerners in the nineteenth century, adopted the white southern subculture of violence and took it to northern cities in the Great Migration.”

What started off as a brief struggle between two people has threatened to drive a lasting wedge between two communities.

D.C. Court Agrees That BLM Rioters Were Treated as if They Were Above the Law

During the George Floyd riots in the spring and summer of 2020, BLM rioters were essentially allowed to wreak havoc as they pleased without consequence. The nation watched as rioters burned and defaced buildings, and liberal-controlled cities did little to stop it. Washington, D.C., for example, refused to prosecute rioters who defaced buildings, yet, when pro-life protesters used chalk on an abortion clinic, the city threw the book at them, and two pro-life activists were arrested in 2020.
