MORE ON IBRAM X. KENDI'S ANTI-RACISM CENTER FOLDING AFTER MILLIONS IN DONATIONS

© Provided by Washington Examiner

Race is the American disease. There is no cure for the facts of the past, but you can buy absolution for feeling bad about them. That was the bargain sold to white liberals by Ibram X. Kendi, the superstar theorist of “anti-racism.” Last week, his Center for Antiracist Research at Boston University crashed amid allegations of mismanagement. The university has launched an “inquiry” into the whereabouts of millions of dollars in donor cash. Some bargain.

“I don’t know where the money is,” says Saida Grundy, a BU professor of African American and Black Diaspora studies. Professor Grundy doubled as the center’s “Assistant Director of Narrative” then resigned, complaining about “exploitative” working hours. Her successor, Phillipe Copeland, called the firings “an act of employment violence and trauma” and demanded an explanation “how mass layoffs are ‘antiracist.’” These are not serious people, but they hold serious positions in what used to be a serious proposition, the American academy. A year’s study with these stellar minds is also a bargain: just $83,278. MORE AT Ibram X. Kendi's anti-racism center folds after millions in donations | Washington Examiner
