In his latest update at Discover the Networks, John Perazzo updates the profile for Ibram X. Kendi, the godfather of ‘antiracism,’ on the Claudine Gay case.
“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.”
“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.”
So, according to Kendi, who divides the world into binary tones of racism and anti-racism, is there ever a legitimate reason to criticize a black person?
Kendi, like much of critical theory, offered a pop redefinition of racism detached from hatred and focused purely on power.
Once racism became power then everything could be divided into racism (everything that doesn’t serve the ends of black nationalism) and anti-racism, everything that does elevate black nationalism.
Any critic of Claudine Gay must be a racist because he is undermining black power.
Is there a legitimate reason to ever criticize a black person according to anti-racism? Sure.
As Kendi argued, “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.”
So any black person who isn’t a leftist is a racist.
The only racist black people are those who don’t push various leftist agenda items because they’re inhibiting black power. And so black conservatives and moderates are the only racists around.

Average IQ in Africa is 68.3
Victor L. says
Perhaps, but it increases and may soon reach 70, or high enough for Africans to be able to see whose fault it is and demand reparations from the usual suspects.
Richard Loewe says
IQ is BS just like neo-Marxism. One of my best friends has an 145 IQ: dropped out of college and became a stewardess. My wife is African and she is a well-published university professor just like me. I don’t think you understand people like Daniel Greenfield, who use reason to argue against racist BS. Having said that, I am racist, too: I think there is one genetically superior people, and that is the Jews. The rest has to work hard applying reason.
SPURWING PLOVER says
Typical mindless Banter from a Liberal Know-nothing with the IQ below a Flea or Ant
Mickorn says
Wow. Thank goodness Daniel Greenfield doesn’t “divide the world into binary tones.”
CowboyUp says
Feel free to defend Henry, mickorn, but I notice you can’t.

Yup, “anti-racism” is a convenient, powerful tool for Kendi and black nationalists, but it’s effectiveness seems limited to only the intellectually challenged. Also, the derogatory labeling of those with opposing viewpoints is a must for the theory to have any impact at all. He used the word “mob” no less than five times in his two paragraph diatribe and, correct me if I’m wrong here, but the only mobs I’m currently familiar with are those shutting down traffic for Gaza and those of one primarily particular ethnic persuasion looting stores.
Claudine Gay opened herself up to scrutiny with her racist policy comments before Congress, not because she was a few shades darker than the other Ivy League participants. Martin Luther King’s “Dream” of being judged by one’s content of character rather than skin color is safe, but that’s not good enough for people like Kendi…and it never will be. A FREE PASS card is the only thing that will be accepted by “anti-racists”.
Greg says
Plagiarism is a staple of the DIE crowd. Without attribution, this Kendi clown is repeating Joe Bite-Me’s famous admonition to black people: “If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black.”
David Mu says
And therefore it is simple – being racist isn’t being racist but is instead being against the cardboard racist that stands in the way 0f the next racist direct action. Can anyone say – Mau-Mau?
Angel Jacob says
Just like most other words the leftists invent, the meaning of racist is not what a normal person would think it means.
The low IQ people are not capable of comprehending words which are beyond what well trained animals would understand.
The BLM/terrorist/islamist types use these words based on their own made up definitions. Pretty much every other word they use has one simple meaning. It defines fellow criminals and terrorists (gang members) or their “enemies.” Who are normal civilized people, advanced culture, law and order, science and arts. Something low IQ people can never be or get, because they don’t understand it. So, they hate it and want to destroy it all.
It has nothing to do with social construct or real racism, rich or poor. It has everything to do with low IQ. You can take a man/woman out of ghetto, but can never take the ghetto out of them.
There is of course countless exceptions in any race, but zero exceptions for the low IQ ones.
Wise men understand it’s the civilized world VS barbarians. Who will survive?
SPURWING PLOVER says
Parazzo with the mind of a Zombie or Puppet with someone in total Control and making them say what Big Brother makes them say
DC says
“You Can’t Argue a Sick Mind” was the title of rock song back in the 70s.
I believe it was from the James Gang.
Why ANYONE would attempt to argue or debate with Kendi is mystifying.
Misfits like Kendi need to be eliminated and disregarded.
MuggsSpongedice says
we should all give up and go along to get along? Bullshit – I’m not racist and I will not let any demonic muddapukka tell me I am. I’m born into a 100% Jewish lineage in USA over 70 years ago. I am male. Man, I am not gender fluid I am not racist and the ones who say they are racist and everyone is racist and don’t know their gender are possessed by demons and nothing less. Their insanity opens their spirit to demonic possession and in the BIBLICAL end times of this second earth age we are in.
Kasandra says
Ibram Henry Rogers (a.k.a. Urban X. Kendi) is just a racial grifter. If you’ve never seen it, try to find the video in which he is asked to define “racism.” He can’t even do that without repeatedly using the words “racism” and “racist” to define “racism.”. He’s just trying to make his way back to the top of the grifter ant hill after the disgrace resulting from the investigation of his “institute” at B.U. FWIW, he forget to mention how Gay was made President of Harvard with a diaphenous academic record and was a serial plagiarist who never would have had the position except for her race and those evil racist whites who elevated her.
danknight says
What will these morons do …
… when they find out that black supremacists …
… will come below Arabs, Indians, Chinese, Homosexuals, Muslims, and just about everyone else who can escape the label “white?” …
CowboyUp says
Poor Henry, Santa didn’t bring him a chin, again. Henry talks about racist mobs, but doesn’t seem to realize those have all been his fellow travelers for the last four decades. Holding someone to minimal and basic academic standards is a violent attack by a racist mob to henry. Henry would get his butt kicked and relieved of his valuables in the hood.
Alexander Scipio says
Here’s the deal. We’ve reached equality and not enough blacks (or women) have achieved what the average white man has achieved, so we’re starting all this BS all over again.
That’s ALL that is going on.
We have been equal under law for three generations. We have been unequal under law since Affirmative Action used racist & sexist discrimination to prevent the person with the most merit from filling a slot in college or the workforce or gaining a government contract.
It’s axiomatic: If we were equal, standards would not need to be lowered to ensure acceptance of non-whites or non-males or non-reproducers.
But since standards HAVE been lowered and we STILL can’t get sufficient merit to hire anyone but white men, we’re gonna pretend everything is racist all over again. I can’t jump like Michael Jordan. You can’t calculate like Albert Eisenstein. NO ONE is EQUAL to anyone else – equal opportunity is the best that can be achieved – and we’ve had that for decades.
If others can’t achieve what white men can and do – tough. Study harder and STFU, racists.
