Ibram X. Kendi accidentally disproves his ideology then attacks those who noticed

Ibram X. Kendi says that he's an anti-racist. Like Al Sharpton, Jessie Jackson and Joy Reid, Kendi is projecting what he actually is--a racist who believes that by wearing a costume of victimhood, and by being Black, he can spout racist crap and not face the same consequences if that nonsense crap were spouted by a White person.

But don't criticize Kendi because he will label you a racist if you do. Only Kendi and other "victims" of "the system" can do the criticizing. Convenient, right?

On Friday, Kendi shared a news article on Twitter of a survey that determined over one-third of White students lied or misrepresented their race on college applications, and over four-fifths did so to improve their chances of being accepted. About half of them admitted they lied to improve their chances of being awarded financial aid earmarked for minority students.

Kendi then tweeted:

"More than a third of White students lied about their race on college applications, and about half of these applicants lied about being Native American. More than three-fourths of these students who lied about their race were accepted."

He was likely trying to show how horribly dishonest White people are, but overlooked the reasoning behind the fake identities of the White applicants.

Kendi quickly deleted his tweet and it became the catalyst for the mockery that followed The Boston College professor inadvertently undermined his own claims about systemic racism and White privilege in America.

The Post Millennial correctly wrote, "[I]f white privilege is so prevalent and persuasive, why would white kids feel the need to disguise their whiteness in order to gain admittance to college and aid to help them attend? Could it be that these white students felt that as opposed to giving them an edge, their whiteness was a hindrance to admittance?"

Another critic on Twitter, Jack Posobiec, also pointed out a similar notion as to why White kids lied as such and Posobiec later said that he "broke"  Kendi.

"Jack couldn't deny his lies so this is how he responded. And his 'broke' reference has a long history within racist structures. White enslavers boasted of *breaking* Black people (when they did not *break* Black people)," Kendi said. "The resistance never stopped then and it won't stop today."

"A White man is attacking a Black person with lies (which are violent). The Black person resists. The White man keeps attacking until he declares he 'broke' the Black person," Kendi responded to one person on Twitter. "That's the context. Seek a book about slavery."

So rather than having an intellectual argument about the reasoning behind the criticisms of Kendi, he instead pulled the old "race card" on Posobiec saying the "broke" comment "has a long history within racist structures." 

Really? I thought "broke" referred to cowboys taming wild horses. I never heard it used in a racist way ever. Maybe you have, so comment below if you can find a reference.

Kendi's cowardly claim that criticism from white people is "violent"  merely shows that he would say anything to avoid a real discussion on the matter.

It's almost obvious why a White kid would identify as a minority race on a college application. It isn't the right thing to do, but it's clear why anyone would do that.

There is no question whatsoever that minorities have an advantage when it comes to financial aid and admission to colleges. Consider the Harvard scandal in which Whites, and especially Asians, had a significantly higher bar to climb to get into the prestigious school, while a lower bar was in place for Blacks and other minorities. 

When you consider this kind of thinking, you might conclude the "racist" label is being put on the wrong group of people. It needs to be put squarely on the shoulders of the race hustlers.

Define this

It's a good thing we have a president who can tell us who we are and who we aren't. 

On Saturday, President Barack Hussein Obama (he began using his middle name only after he was first sworn in as president) urged us to remain rosy about our future after two armed black males were fatally shot by police officers which was later followed by another black gunman shooting at police officers in Dallas and killing 5 of the first responders.

President Obama said, "We cannot let the actions of a few define all of us."

I never knew that the actions of a few defined any of us until I heard the race baiters define the actions of a few police define all the police, and the president define a shooting of black men by police as racism before the facts were in.

Obama spoke two days after a black male killed five officers, insisting that race relations have not reached a new low nor regressed to the level of the 1960's race rioting. 

I agree with him--they haven't gotten that low, but Obama still has time in office to finish the job he started. No president has ever been so divisive on the issues of race and politics as he has been. It comes right out of the 'Divide and Conquer' mentality. 

People like Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson have made a cottage industry from racism while the media has lost their journalistic approach and has taken political sides.

Obama referred to Micah Johnson, the Dallas sniper and black Army veteran, "a demented individual" as he also referred to Muslim jihadist Omar Mateen, who killed 49 and wounded 53 people at a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida last month.

Right. We're not demented here in America, Mr. Obama. You've got that right. 

But neither are most of the terrorists and others who kill people who are strangers to them. 

They have ideologies but we're pretending they do not exist because it may offend someone. So rather than do something that could help define our enemies and predict their future behavior, we pretend we just don't know why anyone would go out and kill people who are different from them.

"They don't speak for all of us," Obama said. "That's not who we are."

He simply cannot keep himself from defining us in his terms. He may be the president of the United States, but he is no more an American than everyone I served with in the military. In fact, I suspect his beliefs are less American than mine and yours.

Define for us who you are, not who we are, because you don't really seem to know.

Blue Lives Matter

Louisiana--Travis Boys, 33, escaped from police custody as he was able to slip his handcuffs, grab a gun, and fatally shoot 46-year-old Officer Daryle Holloway in the head. The shooting occurred inside the police vehicle.

The vehicle crashed into a utility pole and Boys fled. He had been arrested on an aggravated assault charge for which I am betting he is guilty.

Superintendent Michael Harrison assured the media that "He will pay for what he did."

Harrison said that the suspect was able to slip out of the handcuffs and grab a firearm. He shot Holloway as he was driving and after the vehicle crashed, Boys climbed through the cage opening to the front seat in order to escape.

Al Sharpton has not been available for comment. Nor has President Obama, nor Jessie Jackson.

MSNBC did not break this story.

But Sharpton, Jackson, Obama and MSNBC don't matter all that much. Blue lives matter.

Breaking: the riot in Baltimore as it now stands

It's beginning to look like the future is going to be bright and lucrative for the race hustlers like Al Sharptongue and Jessie Jackson. They have Baltimore, MD to rev up the racial tension, and this is where they can rake in the big bucks.

The kids sent out a meme to "purge" after school, and purge they did. In fact, it's still going on as I am blogging this.

This follows the funeral of Freddie Gray, a 25 year old black man who 8 days ago, mysteriously died of a broken spine after being arrested, put into a police transport vehicle, and exiting the vehicle with a broken spine.

Even Elijah Cummings ( MD-D) attended the funeral, sounding more like an angry Rev. Jeremiah Wright than a US Senator. He's been in office since 1996 and is the poster guy for term limits.

Baltimore's mayor, Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, an idiot liberal, said that the protesters should have space to express their anger.

The big problem is that the investigation into the death of Mr. Gray is ongoing and this is angering the public more. One thing known is that he was put in that van unbuckled and given a rough ride. Heads should probably roll, but rioting and destroying property is uncalled for and must be stopped.

The police are vastly outnumbered and at times overwhelmed by the crowd of young people throwing bricks, bottles and whatever they can get their hands on to toss. At this time, there are 7 injured cops, one of whom is "unresponsive," according to the police. A number of arrests have been made, but more are sure to come as night approaches.

State police have been called in but the governor, Larry Hogan (R) refuses to declare a state of emergency and said that it is too soon to bring in the National Guard. He is obviously an idiot and should cross over to the Democratic party to increase their average IQ as well as the average IQ on the right side of the aisle by his leaving.

The Gray family attorney is calling for law and order, but there are rioters and looters who don't care about Freddie Gray and see this as an opportunity to burn stuff and steal whatever they can get from the small businesses they are looting. This is anarchy at its worst.

Let's hope and pray that law enforcement enforces the law and that tonight things will calm down. 

Let's also hope and pray that justice is done in the case of Mr. Gray's death. The pubic needs and deserves answers.

Race-Baiter Agitators

If Barack Obama was president on September 11, 2001 and went back on vacation September 12, 2001, liberals would defend him. It's a knee-jerk reaction like the reaction blacks and race-baiters have for the Michael Brown shooting in Ferguson, MO. And besides blacks and race-baiters like the very Revolting Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson, we have the left-leaning news media practically calling Darren Wilson guilty of murder even before the facts have been totally compiled. That's racist.

Spike Lee, the producer of such misogynistic films such as that 2004 gem "She Hate Me," and the 1996 phone sex "comedy" called "Girl 6," has also gotten involved in the protesting in Ferguson. "Something smells bad in Ferguson and it's not just the tear gas." He might have been referring to his movie, "Summer of Sam," made in 1999, depicting panic and distrust in New York City in the summer of 1977 when David 'Son of Sam' Berkowitz went on a killing spree. This movie was an attempt to depict with the fear and paranoia in the city at that time, but the flick smelled of Martin Scorsese below par excess. But that wasn't what Spike was referring to--he believes that there is a war being waged on the black male.

Spike Lee is correct: there is a war being waged on the black male; he just hasn't figured out who the real combatants are in this war.

Only a tiny percentage of black males are killed by the police each year--less than one percent. The overwhelming percentage of blacks are killed by other blacks. 

Where is the outrage? Where are the race-baiters on this issue? They are too busy using the race card on the "white oppressors." That's racist.

The New Black Panthers are clearly racist, if we really were to be honest. They are calling for Officer Wilson's head on a platter. In the last presidential election, the New Black Panthers intimidated white people at a Philadelphia polling place--it's on video--and when it was brought to the attention of the DoJ, Eric Holder refused to prosecute. When special privileges are given to one group at the expense of another, that's racist (see Holder, Eric).

People who say that Officer Wilson is guilty of "slaughtering" or "executing" Michael Brown would not say this if the races were reversed. Without all the evidence they have tried Wilson and found him guilty based on skin color. When you prejudge the facts based on race, you're a racist.

Now Eric Holder is in Ferguson and has made it clear to the press that he is, indeed, black. That's code for "I'm going to look at this case and prove Officer Wilson killed that sweet young man in cold blood, in "broad daylight," (as MO governor, Nixon said). The term "broad daylight" implies that a crime had been committed, and while Nixon is white, and possibly not a racist, he is a self-serving political hack like some other people in government you may be aware of (see Obama, Barack Hussein).

What is Eric Holder doing in Ferguson before the case has gone before a grand jury? Well, Obama sent him. Obama is the master race-baiter saying we need peace and calm, we need to not prejudge, but then sends in the head of the DoJ who makes it clear that he's black and justice will be done.

And all the while the media huddle up in Ferguson, they have totally disregarded a similar case in which an unarmed 20 year old white man, Dillon Taylor, was shot and killed by a black police officer, whom the local media refers to as "not white." The shooting took place in Salt Lake City, Utah and you can read more on this and see the video here. I have a strong gut-feeling that Eric Holder is not going to show up in Utah any time soon.

Politically Correct Suicide

The Detroit police are trying to figure out if the attack on a white motorist by a mob of black men qualifies as a hate crime. The man, 54 year old Steve Utash, accidentally ran down a black youth and went to render aid when he was brutally beaten by the mob, his paycheck stolen, and he was left in critical condition. He is currently in a medically induced coma.

I believe all crimes where a person is beaten for no other reason than a way for a mob to pass the time and maybe steal something, is a hate crime. If it isn't a hate crime, what is it? A sort of I'm angry crime? A love gone wrong crime? Perhaps we need to consider what is politically correct in this case.

So far, 4 scumbags have been arrested and police expect more arrests. City officials have criticized the beating (I guess they saw something wrong with it too) and have called for witnesses to come forward. The word "race" has not been mentioned, nor has anyone in the black mob that attacked the white man been called a racist.

The very Right far left Reverend Al Sharptongue has yet to comment, but my guess is he'll have little to say and certainly not blame it on the mob because of their melanin levels. Jessie Jackson will likewise do the same.

In another incident, a Jesuit priest in Syria was dragged out of his church and shot twice in the head. He died immediately. The gunman was a Syrian rebel.

Father Van Der Lugt

The priest, Fr. Francis Van Der Lugt was 75 and was originally from the Netherlands. He served the Syrian Christian population for about 50 years. Where other Christians were being killed or threatened, Fr. Van Der Lugt stood his ground. 

An antigovernment activist, Mahmoud Taha told the New York Times "The death of the priest is a scandal for the rebels. They no longer accept anyone but those who are like them." He may have been referring to Muslims being different from Christians, but mum's the word.

State Department spokesrobot, Jen Psaki, spoke on behalf of the country and said the US was "saddened by the news" of the priest's killing. She bravely added, "We condemn this violent attack and all attacks against innocent civilians and minority communities."

No mention of the word "jihadist" was made, nor was a word mentioned about the religion of peace. But so long as we verbally condemn brutal killings like this one, we are going to upset a lot of jihadists and make them feel guilty. In fact, they may never do something this untoward again. Shame on them. Shame.

It's a good thing Psaki didn't yell: "Islamophilia! This killing was done by an Islamophiliac."

I believe many of us have reached a point where we've become like ostriches with our heads in the sand. Others have their head stuck elsewhere. When we come to realize that Islamists don't respect words over deeds, strength over weakness, it may be too late to stop the spread of Islam. 

Islam has become like the visitor who comes to your home and tells you what to do. He expects you to cater to him, feed him, and do his bidding. If you give him an inch, he takes a mile. If you give him a hand, he cuts off your head.

But at least in doing so, you'll be politically correct.

Another Murder Frowned Upon

Delbert Belton, known as "Shorty" to his friends, was an 88 year old, WW2 veteran who took a bullet in the leg in the Battle of Okinawa. He was sitting in his car outside the Ice-A-Rena after shooting pool and waiting to drive a friend home, when two black men approached his car and beat him about the face and head with heavy metal flashlights. Shorty was taken to a nearby hospital where he died from his injuries. He is survived by a 65 year old son, and a ton of friends.

Harry the Racist Reid et al

Harry Reid is a moron and a racist and he often picks his nose in public. He stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the race baiters in his party, and now he's saying it again: maybe the reason the GOP doesn't stand behind Obama is because of the color of his skin. Do you remember, Harry, that you used a racial statement to give a backhanded compliment to Obama back when he first ran for president? He speaks well for a light-skinned black man.

Isn't it possible the reason the GOP doesn't like Obamacare and most of Obama's politics, is because Obamacare is bad for the country as they see it, and his policies are too far left for the GOP to support? Are the unions leaders, who think your Obamacare legislation is wasteful, not clearly conceived, and a burden on the poor, racists? Tell us, Harry, isn't the reason they oppose Obamacare more about the idea that they don't want to be forced into spending their money on a policy that is an abortion? Oh, I forgot, you guys like abortions--bad word choice.

Low Information Celebrities and the Race Baiters Who Love Them

How media wants you to see him

Singer, songwriter,  Stevland Hardaway Morris, better known as Stevie Wonder, is angry with the verdict in the George Zimmerman-Trayvon Martin trial, and wants to punish the whole state of Florida for the outcome by boycotting the state and all states that have the Stand Your Ground Law. Interestingly, this law was not used in the Zimmerman-Martin case, but since when do facts matter to the left? Wonder, who is 63, seems to be going about trying to make a career comeback by not showing up at concerts, but at least he has the audacity of hope to think he can change the law in 23 states that have it on the books. If the Stand Your Ground Law is repealed in Florida, those who would have justifiably benefited from it, no longer will--ironically, that would mainly involve black males who have historically used it as a defense significantly more than other ethnic groups. I will not even discuss black-on-black homicide in the USA because that might be considered either insensitive or racist.

Jessie Jackson, the great American race baiter, stated that since Florida's Stand Your Ground Law came into effect, black homicides have tripled. If you believe Jessie Jackson's math, you should check it out.

The Race to Judgment

I'm wondering what to do today--it's a slow writing day now that I'm into the editing period of my novel and I asked myself, "Rob, what do you want to do to cut the boredom?"

So I thought about it and came up with the idea of going to Sanford, Florida and protesting the Zimmerman case. The verdict is awaiting the jury's decision and there are groups of people who have nothing to do to deal with the boredom of their less than interesting lives, and they're protesting in front of the courthouse. Some want an acquittal, some want George Zimmerman's testicles put in a vice and squeezed until his eyeballs pop out of his head, but one thing for sure, they've all made up their minds of his guilt or innocence. I have to admit, I have a fairly clear idea of what the verdict should be, but after thinking about this case in depth, have decided not to spend my time holding up a sign that will serve no other purpose than to possibly give me media exposure as just another idiot who has nothing better to do, and will not change the judicial outcome one iota. (Now there's a word you won't hear me say too often.)
