People of color, women, and members of the LGBTQ community who refuse to fully buy into leftist ideology are often subjected to abuse from the Democrat Party. From ridicule to attempts to discredit to destroying, if necessary.
Toss in Critical Race Theory guru and "anti-racism" grandfather Ibram X. Kendi, and things get hypocritical as hell.
In the latest update to Discover the Networks, Kendi's profile has been updated to include the activist's comments about former Harvard President Claudine Gay, who was recently forced to resign after her multiple examples of plagiarism were made public.
Kendi didn't disappoint — as in he remained true to his hypocritical self. In a series of January 2, 2024 tweets, Kendi portrayed Gay as a victim of white racists who wanted her booted from Harvard because she's black.
Racist mobs won’t stop until they topple all Black people from positions of power and influence who are not reinforcing the structure of racism. What these racist mobs are doing should be obvious to any reporter who cares about truth or justice as opposed to conflicts and clicks.
Too often mainstream reporters join the racist mob or give it credibility — as they did in this case — just as they did a century ago.
Nonsense. There were no "racist" mobs. Gay initially attracted national attention because she defended Hamas after the Islamist terrorists infiltrated Israel and slaughtered roughly 1,200 men, women, and children — including babies.
Then, the cases of plagiarism began to pile up, which led to Gay's resignation. Even CNN called out Gay's plagiaristic proclivities.
Kendi continued with the "racist mob" narrative:
When a racist mob attacks a Black person, it finds a seemingly legitimate reason for the attack that allows for it to accrue popular support and credibility, and which allows the growing mob to deny they are attacking the person in this way because the person is Black.
That’s how anti-Black racist attacks have been justified. The seemingly legitimate reason, in this latest case at Harvard, is primarily academic misconduct or plagiarism. The question to assess whether this was a racist attack isn’t whether Dr. Gay engaged in any misconduct.
Wrong. Plagiarism is plagiarism, Mr. Kendi — regardless of who's guilty of it — or the color of the perpetrator's skin. And multiple examples of plagiarism by the president of — what used to be, at least — America's most prestigious university is an academic disgrace.
Kendi also trotted out the worn-out "Would this have happened if the Harvard president had been white?" card. Are you kidding? In a heartbeat — and Kendi knows it. If Gay were white, she would've been outta there in a flash.
The question is whether all these people would have investigated, surveilled, harassed, written about, and attacked her in the same way if the Harvard president in this case would have been White. I. Think. Not.
Finally, my favorite. (Emphasis, mine.)
You have black people who believe that they can’t be racist because they believe that black people don’t have power and that’s blatantly not true. Every single person on earth has the power to resist racist policies and power. We need to recognize that there are black people who resist it, and there are some who do not because of their own anti-black racism.
And then you have black people, a limited number, who are in policy-making positions and use those policy-making decisions to institute or defend policies that harm black people. If those people were white we would be calling them what they are – racists. If they’re black, they’re no different. They’re racists.
In other words, as I suggested at the top, if you're black and you refuse to fully toe the leftist line, you're a racist. Never mind that that delusional belief is itself racist.
