My 2 cents worth, which is prolly about what it's worth. Keep in mind: I actually AM humble, but I have very STRONG opinions. Also, I don't yet CLAIM to be a writer, so there is that.

There Can BE No Debate About CRT â Part 7
The Liberal Press
As Sir Walter Scott wrote: âOh what a tangled web we weave/When first we practice to deceive,â
As I âsaidâ in Part 6, Your most recent piece, M. Kendi, in that propaganda pub / The Atlantic, / is called âThere Is No Debate Over Critical Race Theory.â
I actually read through most-a their so-called analysis, before I couldnât stomach anymore. They certainly know their audience, and deliver EXACTLY what that audience wants to âhear.â
Just like The Atlantic delivers Your âstuffâ to its readers. Do know whatâs wrong with this picture, M. Kendi? The Mainstream Media? Thereâs no MARKET anymore for BALANCED coverage. NYT and cable and ALL of âem? Gotten HUGE by delivering what their audience WANTS to hear.
And almost ALL of it is a question of how FAR left it goes. You and ignorant Progressives are gonna be the end of Democracy as we know it which is, of course, Your aim. AFTER You con the whites into paying out the nose for reparations.
Now, letâs look at what T.Rump ACTUALLY said in his TWO references to âcancel culture:â
âOur country wasnât built by cancel culture, speech codes and soul-crushing conformity.â
You CANâT be attempting to DENY this, are You M. Kendi? If so, go back and read Part 6 again, the section on Norman Wang. Demoted, denunciated. Now, granted, almost nobody would-a read Part 2 of that article, on the chilling effect âracial equityâ has on dissent.
See, editor of the Journal of the AMA âsuggested that discussion of systemic racism is an unfortunate distraction that should be taken off the table.â He had the ABSURED notion that doctors should be concerned with HEALING PATIENTS. He had the GALL! He paid.
Quote-unquote resigned.
âthe editor-in-chiefâs departure coming after he issued a public apology in which he affirmed the existence of structural racism in the United States and in the health care field.
THATâS cancel culture, in case Youâre too blind to see, M. Kendi. Another example I heard from another source:
Tara Gustilo, a PERSON OF COLOR (Filipino), was removed as chair of OB/GYN department at hospital Hennepin Healthcare System. Why?
âThe demotion followed her series of Facebook posts criticizing critical race theory, Black Lives Matter and âHow to Be an Antiracistâ author Ibram X. Kendi, and her insistence that her department must strictly adhere to race-neutral policies with regard to patient care.â
You see, M. Kendi? This is cancel culture laid DIRECTLY at YOUR feet.
You and Your ilk will not ALLOW race neutrality. NEUTRALITY. Heaven FORBID! If it isnât PRO-Black, then it canât be allowed to stand. This is in ALL fields. But ESPECIALLY school teachers. Now, there are SOME who say, âthat such examples are evidence of the movementâs chilling effect on open debate of complex social issues.â
Immediately after the above quote:
ââMost in academic medicine who are troubled by this are keeping their heads down and keeping their mouths shut,â said Thomas Huddle, who retired this yearâŚâ
PLEASE to note: Keyword is âretired.â
You may, or may NOT, be surprised to hear again from one-a the stars of Part 6 of this tome. One Brittani James.
âWhen asked about the implications for open debate and free expression, James, the Chicago physician and self-described activist, black feminist and anti-racism scholar, reframed the issue.
ââThey call it cancel culture, but itâs actually accountability.ââ
Funny that, M. Kendi. All these individuals, not all of them white, By The Way, accountable to YOU and the WOKE MOB.
PEOPLE, M. Kendi. Individuals standing up to You and Your MOB of SJW. Based on âstuffâ which You claim is âscholarlyâ work. Who are YOU accountable to, M. Kendi?
No. Youâre ABOVE being held accountable to anybody but Yourself. And it was Your lust for money, fame, prestige, and most of all, POWER that put You in charge of the small and, for most part, defenseless.
Big man, M. Kendi. Have You ever had an actual DEBATE with a SCHOLAR, M. Kendi? Ever?
Here, John McWhorter shows how You define âracismâ which You are the UNDISPUTED AUTHORITY of.
âRacism, I would define it as a collection of racist policies, that lead to racial inequity, that are substantiated by racist ideas.â
Me? I ADMIT Iâm an ignoramoose on a lotta things. But even *I* know Youâre not supposed to use the word Youâre defining in the VVERY DEFINITION of that word.
Donât know if this is true, but saw someone comment on Your views being against âwhite colonizersâ who adopt Black kids.
âYou charged a school district TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS for a 45 minute Zoom lectureâ
But it wouldnât surprise me. Not one BIT, M. Kendi.
Back to the quote from T.Rump on âcancel culture.â
âWe are not a nation of timid spirits. We are a nation of fierce, proud and independent American patriots.â
I dunno much about fierce, proud patriots. But it doesnât mean someoneâs timid, a sole, lonely individual facing the Woke MOB, if they want to save their job and their hide.
The other comment Donald T.Rump made on âcancel culture?â
âThe goal of cancel culture is to make decent Americans live in fear of being fired, expelled, shamed, humiliated and driven from society as we know it.â
Iâve mentioned a couple cases, M. Kendi, but I can find more. And those I hear about? The proverbial drop in the bucket.
Would You go on a stage with liâl ole ME, M. Kendi? Debate whether Your movement is heavily involved in âcancel culture?â The movement I described in the last Part, Part 6. The BLM-1619 Project-CRT MACHINE. Youâre said to be the father of this CRT MACHINE.
I think itâd be a very SHORT debate, so I hope You wonât try to charge $20K. After I present a few more cases, all Youâd hafta do is say, âYes, itâs Truth incarnate.â
But I not only KNOW You wouldnât show up, M. Kendi, but if You DID Youâd use Your smooth-talkin-used-car-salesman approach to slide outta it.
And I think thatâs sad, M. Kendi. That Youâve brought American Democracy to its knees. For the lust of money, fame, prestige and, most of all, POWER.
No, there are many hundreds of thousands, maybe millions of people in the Woke MOB. But there arenât that many at the top.
1. YOU, M. Kendi
2. M. DiAngelo
3. M. Hannah-Jones
4. M. Coates
5. M. Crenshaw, et al.
6. The New York Times
7. The Atlantic (Your home base, M. Kendi)
8. All the cable ânewsâ but one
9. ALL the MSM besides
10. Last, but HARDLY least: Social Media SJW
Honestly, Youâve created a MONSTER of a movement, You all.
Sad that itâs literally âMonstrous evil,â JUST like Pat Robertson said.
You beat him down with ease, M. Kendi. Congratulations, all around.
Ah well... Should-a mebbe introduced myself. Iâm 66, white, male, and a smoker. On the totem pole of life, thereâs nobody below me. The absolute dregs. So You all may not like this. A rough sketch of something in a possible future pamphlet. Dunno. And mentioned my leanings. Believe it or not, I've voted Democratic every Presidential election since McGovern. (Except Dubya, but that's a long story.) TYTY again for expressing Your views. Need to read a second time, but they appear identical to mine.
Last peep outta me. Behind on reading. But delighted to hear of M. Williams and read Harper's Letter a couple times. Lo and behold! Found M. Mounk as signatory. TYTYTY.
I can't thank You enough for sharing these views. BOTH of You.
But I think it's a LOT worse than You all let on. ICBW. https://freeblackthought.substack.com/p/why-did-critical-race-theory-emerge
My 2 cents worth, which is prolly about what it's worth. Keep in mind: I actually AM humble, but I have very STRONG opinions. Also, I don't yet CLAIM to be a writer, so there is that.

https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2021/07/opponents-critical-race-theory-are-arguing-themselves/619391/
And what You clearly MEAN is that no debate will be TOLERATED. This is one of the FOUNDATIONAL features of CRT.
. . .
Looking at paragraph six, I see Youâve brought in Your favorite whipping boy, M. Kendi, Donald T.Rump.
In paragraph six, You link to an article by that propaganda pub NPR.

Yeah, I guess thereâs a very SMALL probability that someone who gave their heart to a Black child COULD be a racist. The odds, M. Kendi?
But hereâs a comment on Your tweet, from someone I donât know from Adam, so take it for what itâs worth.
