There Can BE No Debate About CRT – Part 7
The Liberal Press
As Sir Walter Scott wrote: ‘Oh what a tangled web we weave/When first we practice to deceive,’
As I “said” in Part 6, Your most recent piece, M. Kendi, in that propaganda pub / The Atlantic, / is called “There Is No Debate Over Critical Race Theory.”
I actually read through most-a their so-called analysis, before I couldn’t stomach anymore. They certainly know their audience, and deliver EXACTLY what that audience wants to “hear.”
Just like The Atlantic delivers Your “stuff” to its readers. Do know what’s wrong with this picture, M. Kendi? The Mainstream Media? There’s no MARKET anymore for BALANCED coverage. NYT and cable and ALL of ‘em? 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, let’s look at what T.Rump ACTUALLY said in his TWO references to “cancel culture:”
“Our country wasn’t built by cancel culture, speech codes and soul-crushing conformity.”
You CAN’T 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 “racial equity” has on dissent.
See, editor of the Journal of the AMA “suggested that discussion of systemic racism is an unfortunate distraction that should be taken off the table.” He had the ABSURED notion that doctors should be concerned with HEALING PATIENTS. He had the GALL! He paid.
Quote-unquote resigned.
“the editor-in-chief’s 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.
THAT’S cancel culture, in case You’re 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?
“The demotion followed her series of Facebook posts criticizing critical race theory, Black Lives Matter and “How to Be an Antiracist” author Ibram X. Kendi, and her insistence that her department must strictly adhere to race-neutral policies with regard to patient care.”
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 isn’t PRO-Black, then it can’t be allowed to stand. This is in ALL fields. But ESPECIALLY school teachers. Now, there are SOME who say, “that such examples are evidence of the movement’s chilling effect on open debate of complex social issues.”
Immediately after the above quote:
“‘Most in academic medicine who are troubled by this are keeping their heads down and keeping their mouths shut,’ said Thomas Huddle, who retired this year…”
PLEASE to note: Keyword is “retired.”
You may, or may NOT, be surprised to hear again from one-a the stars of Part 6 of this tome. One Brittani James.
“When 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.
“‘They call it cancel culture, but it’s actually accountability.’”
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 “stuff” which You claim is “scholarly” work. Who are YOU accountable to, M. Kendi?
No. You’re 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 “racism” which You are the UNDISPUTED AUTHORITY of.
“Racism, I would define it as a collection of racist policies, that lead to racial inequity, that are substantiated by racist ideas.”
Me? I ADMIT I’m an ignoramoose on a lotta things. But even *I* know You’re not supposed to use the word You’re defining in the VVERY DEFINITION of that word.
Don’t know if this is true, but saw someone comment on Your views being against “white colonizers” who adopt Black kids.
“You charged a school district TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS for a 45 minute Zoom lecture”
But it wouldn’t surprise me. Not one BIT, M. Kendi.
Back to the quote from T.Rump on “cancel culture.”
“We are not a nation of timid spirits. We are a nation of fierce, proud and independent American patriots.”
I dunno much about fierce, proud patriots. But it doesn’t mean someone’s 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 “cancel culture?”
“The 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.”
I’ve 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 li’l ole ME, M. Kendi? Debate whether Your movement is heavily involved in “cancel culture?” The movement I described in the last Part, Part 6. The BLM-1619 Project-CRT MACHINE. You’re said to be the father of this CRT MACHINE.
I think it’d be a very SHORT debate, so I hope You won’t try to charge $20K. After I present a few more cases, all You’d hafta do is say, “Yes, it’s Truth incarnate.”
But I not only KNOW You wouldn’t show up, M. Kendi, but if You DID You’d use Your smooth-talkin-used-car-salesman approach to slide outta it.
And I think that’s sad, M. Kendi. That You’ve 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 aren’t 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 “news” but one
9. ALL the MSM besides
10. Last, but HARDLY least: Social Media SJW
Honestly, You’ve created a MONSTER of a movement, You all.
Sad that it’s literally “Monstrous evil,” JUST like Pat Robertson said.
You beat him down with ease, M. Kendi. Congratulations, all around.
Ah well... Should-a mebbe introduced myself. I’m 66, white, male, and a smoker. On the totem pole of life, there’s 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.
For Your viewing pleasure, or not. Comments or corrections welcomed, but not asked for. TY (thank You) if You take the time, dear reader. TYTY! (Hope this fits. ;)

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 You’ve 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 there’s a very SMALL probability that someone who gave their heart to a Black child COULD be a racist. The odds, M. Kendi?
But here’s a comment on Your tweet, from someone I don’t know from Adam, so take it for what it’s worth.
