On Wednesday, Boston University announced that it would open an inquiry into Ibram X. Kendi's Center for Antiracist Research, after Kendi last week laid off most of its staff and amidst revelations based on extensive investigation by the Daily Free Press, the university's independent student paper, that the Center, which has been showered with tens of millions of dollars from wealthy individuals and major corporations, has somehow lost all the money and has little work to show for it.



Good news is that you get to watch him on ESPN's new 5 part series he's been busy grifting from. How much you bet his other projects included going to the Caribbean to stash some money hahahah. I hear the Canadian Parliament are about to invite him for a standing ovation or two.

Knew he was a fraud for the left nothing more and a grifter. From the onset he gave me suspect vibes aka Black face for white interests first or only. Nothing tangible for the for the Black community (no visible change)

It is messed up how you still manage to blame white people when a black person in power lies, cheats, and steals. FYI, 8% of the millionaires in the United States are black. Stop blaming white folks for everything.

There are around 3,000 billionaires in the world and less than 20 are black.

Many of the ones that do exist made their fortunes in sports and entertainment. For example, Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, and Oprah Winfrey.

I wasn't talking about worldwide billionaires. Are you saying we should blame the 2800 non-black billionaires for corrupting Ibram Kendi? The fact that 8% of the millionaires in the US are black certainly argues against the system being against black people. Black immigrants seem to do okay. GFR bashes them because they don't express what I consider defeatist attitudes.

I am not sure I follow.

Even if you want to use millionaires as your metric, blacks are underrepresented as they are 14% of the population.

Dang. Another liberal behaving like a republican.

If he was a conservative, he'd be Trump's running mate.

This arises from me responding to the claim that Ibram Kandi's behavior was "Black face for white interests first or only.". It is as simple as that. I am not claiming that it is as easy for black people to succeed as white people in America. I am simply criticizing using white people as a reason or excuse when a black person fails.

Ibram X Kendi's antiracism business at Boston University included the school loaning his brother-in-law $600,000 to help 'cover the down payment for a $4.56 million luxury penthouse triplex.' From @FreeBeacon https://t.co/wN2SAgKLyA

He was all about being zesty that's it . So fake and moist no way in hell he gets access to that type of capital and having any sort of backbone

It makes so much sense now.

This makes soooo much sense.

I felt like this guy was a bit shady when I first heard about him, so it's good to see my intuitions confirmed.

Six weeks after the launch of an inquiry into author Ibram X. Kendi’s Center for Antiracist Research at Boston University, school officials said the internal audit found no problems with how the group’s grant finances were managed. https://t.co/cvt7bxkUQ5

That just means all the money was wasted in plain sight without any financial misrepresentation.
