Critical Race Theory Guru Ibram X. Kendi Pushes a Survey That Demolishes His Grift Then Reconsiders But Not Fast Enough – Opinion

As a great magician would never reveal tricks and techniques to the world, an experienced grifter must keep all flaws within his gripes close at his side.

Dr. IbramX. Kendi is one of the most prominent and well-known grifters. Kendi is known for selling particularly racist and counterfactual propaganda to schools and businesses. His teachings are that racism is at the core of our society. According to him, racism is the foundation of America. He says that it was racist in its founding principles and ideals. White people are especially racist. According to the legend, they are racist due to their racist behavior and cultural infused with white supremacy.

And because they have “White privilege” that ensures their success even as they hold down members of the BIPOC (that’s Black, Indigenous, and People of Color, for you rubes and yokels) community.

Kendi is a prolific author on this subject. In fact, Kendi almost created an entire industry.Ibram X. Kendi is in the news. He’s sort of the Henry Ford or Andrew Carnegie of monetizing racial grievance.

You have to be impressed by his hustle, even if he is joking. He gets paid a lot of money to tell upper socio-economic class, White liberals how f***ed up they are as they clap like seals. However, as a White possessor of privilege, they have me do the exact same thing for no cost while trying to ban me from social media. I’m not sure how him nearly single-handedly flipping Virginia Red will fit into his marketing mix, but I’m sure he will find a way.

I am now back at my original opening.

Survey finds that more than three quarters of college applicants lie to their race in The Hill’s last week article. The article is about a survey from something called “Intelligent,” which should be getting served by the Federal Trade Commission for false and misleading naming of their website just about now, that claims:

The survey found that 34% of white Americans who’ve applied to college falsely claimed on their applications they’re a racial minority.

To increase their chances of being accepted, applicants often pretend to be minorities (81%). 50 percent also claimed they were receiving financial assistance that was minority-focused.

Plausible so far. When asked for race grievance data, I always choose random racial groups. This is what we get:

Nearly 50% of respondents (48%) who claimed to have lied about being a minority identified themselves as Native Americans on their application.

Treize percent claimed that they were Latino and 10% said they were Black. 9% stated that their origins are Asian-Pacific Islander.

This conversation immediately brought back memories of a conversation that I had while working as a Pentagon staff officer with two stars. He told me that he found my conclusions to be “incredible.” Then he went on to say, “not ‘incredible’ like in ‘wow’ but incredible like in ‘bullsh**’.”

So, a third (33%) of White applicants lie about race in college admissions. This would mean that more than half of college students identify themselves as minorities if it were true. This would mean college students that are truthful to this statement would have a majority of white backgrounds. That isn’t the case. College students have a remarkably similar racial makeup to the rest of society. This is just the beginning. Less than one percent of all college students identify as American Indian (sorry, my family has been here since 1636, I’m Native American). According to the survey, roughly half of those falsely claiming minority status say they are American Indian. This survey should have 10% or more college students classified as American Indian to make it accurate. Either one or both of these things have happened. Either the sample for this survey was wildly unsuccessful in applying to college…or the survey data is entirely unreliable.

The article should have been seen by many people, and then forgotten. However Kendi decided to highlight it in this tweet that has since been deleted.

Ibram Kendi tweet on college student applications

This survey, and Kendi’s approving retweet, seem to be in direct contrast with his grift…I mean hypothesis. If being White gave you an advantage on college applications, which “White privilege” would imply, then you’d expect to find BIPOC applicants saying they are White. The survey, if it is accurate at all, shows that half of college students see claiming minority status as the best way to get college admissions and scholarships. None of this screams “systemic racism” or “White privilege.”

Kendi, his friends and allies were thoroughly involved in this matter, until he finally deleted the tweet.

Kendi later tried to repair the damage by explaining his actions. This gibberish doesn’t answer the crucial question of why 50% of White college students lie about their race in order to get college admission. And, even more important, Kendi believed that this number was reasonable. You can have fun if you like.

Even if we accept at face value that systemic racism shunts minority students off into crap schools with crap teachers teaching crap, it doesn’t address why it is plausible to him that half of White college applicants would pull an Elizabeth Warren and claim to be something other than what they are unless there was some perceived advantage. Kendi asks, “Why would they” or “he” think that way?

And as the tragedy of Kendi’s self-beclowning continued; naturally, it resolved itself into farce. Jack Posobiec, who edits Human Events, was instrumental in Kendi’s dragging, and when Kendi deleted the tweet, he claimed victory. “I broke Kendi,” he proclaimed. Naturally, this provoked outrage.

Everything is about race.

Sooner or later, Kendi’s gravy train (is that a White supremacist term, too?) The end is near. This is only a matter time before most people will realize it for what it really is. Kendi will soon retire in his home and enjoy a life of luxury. He will cause untold destruction and create racial animus like the one this nation assumed had disappeared long ago.
