Ibram Kendi & Antiracism is Currently Getting Whipped by the Media: Here's why (529 hits)
Before I start this blog, I want to thank the universe for giving me another opportunity to talk sh*t. Now if you've been reading my blogs, you know I been going in on the concept of Antiracism but I NEVER said anything negative about Professor Kendi. On the contrary, I was very impressed that he was able to raise millions ($43M to be exact) to attempt to teach white folks how to not be racist. To go against their own self interest. Think about it. Wasn't that amazing????
But it all makes sense now. They was propping him up to be the fall guy all the time, knowing damn well that the goal of an Antiracist society in the current climate was not only impossible but counterproductive! Why else would they give or allow a brother to accumulate $43 Million?? Google his name and check the articles, white folk are having a field day with this. I tried to sound the alarm and help this brother. Here was the press release I made: https://www.openpr.com/news/3041632/new-tr...
Most of these antiracism centers and activist in residence programs across the country have already folded. The Institute for the removal of White Supremacy in America never even got off the ground. They only got to propose the name! I was just telling ya'll about the difficulty I was having in reaching people. I'm an outsider but here's another reply that I received:
Janga,
Thank you for reaching out. For now we have paused the activist in residence program are not accepting applications.
All the best, Andy
Here's the scholarship:
We always have to come back to the basics. Here's Dr. Welsing's definition of racism white supremacy:
“The local and global power system structured and maintained by persons who classify themselves as white, whether consciously or subconsciously determined; this system consists of patterns of perception, logic symbol formation, thought, speech, action and emotional response, as conducted simultaneously in all areas of people activity (economics, entertainment, education, labor, law, politics, religion, s*x and war). The ultimate purpose of the system is to prevent white genetic annihilation on Earth - a planet in which the overwhelming majority of people are classified as non-white (black, brown, yellow, red) by white skinned people. All of the non- white people are genetically dominant (in terms of skin coloration) compared to the genetically recessive white- skinned people.”
The definition reveals that Antiracism MUST be for white folks. Because racism presupposes a power structure, "colored" folks are ineligible to practice racism or receive its benefits and are thus seated in the wrong class if that class is labeled Antiracism.
This is why it was very easy to see that the antiracism house of cards was doomed to fail. I hate that this brother's scholarship is being destroyed by the media right now. If you know him and you're reading this.. let him know that re-branding to Counter Racism is an easy switch and it may even help get white folk off his back. Dr. Amos Wilson offers this concise definition of racism white supremacy: "Racism is a rationalization and justification for economical, political and social power" Counter Racism and Planetary Chess therefore, are not asking for white folk to do anything in the racism game. White folk like to hear sh*t like that. They've absolved themselves of the actions of their forefathers a long time ago...
I believe there will come a day when all his work on Antiracism will be appreciated by white folk however, we will first have to restore Ma'at and re-civilize the world (again).
