According to a report at Campus Reform, “Howard University has appointed a leading ’antiracist’ (very racist) scholar and activist to one of the school’s most prestigious academic positions.”
“Ibram X. Kendi will serve as the inaugural holder of the Carter G. Woodson Endowed Chair in History, a position supported by $3 million in donor funding that honors its namesake historian, known as the “father of Black history,” according to a university press release.”
Ibram Kendi has a history of making racist comments and rewriting history.
Howard University is a famous historically Black college in America.
Previously, Kendi founded and led Boston University’s Center for Antiracist Research (CAR), established in the aftermath of the George Floyd riots.
This program at Boston was shuttered last June due to financial and other concerns.
Kendi responded to concerns by saying “that media coverage unfairly targeted him, claiming that journalists often repeat allegations against black leaders without sufficient evidence and suggested that such scrutiny reflects broader societal bias”, according to a previous Campus Reform report.
In addition to being chair now, Kendi will direct Howard’s Institute for Advanced Study.
This institute “is dedicated to interdisciplinary study advancing research of importance to the global African Diaspora, including inquiry into race, technology, racism, climate change, and disparities.”
Yet again, someone who profits from fomenting racial division is being rewarded by an institute of higher education.
Kendi has infamously written How to Be an Antiracist, where he argues that not being a racist is not enough.
Interim President of the University, Wayne A.I. Frederick, said the chair “affirms Howard University’s enduring responsibility to steward Black history with rigor, integrity, and purpose.”
Kendi has developed quite a catalog of outrageous public remarks. He has compared efforts to ban certain guns to the fight to end slavery.
Last year, Kendi suggested that ‘Whiteness’ prevents White people from ‘connecting to humanity.’
