Kendi ran from debating the likes of Loury, McWhorter, and Hughes as if he was channeling Usain Bolt.
I’ve never wanted someone to fail more than Ibram X Kendi…what an awful awful ideology
IT is writing military policy.
Race hustling at its finest and most vile. Even his name is as fake as his dishonest spiel.
Totally agree! Love this for Kendi!
Auld kendi is as thick as concrete, even he knows it.
@@harrying882
Kendi is a right nutter. And the madness he believes is of his own making.
Kendi's the one who couldn't define "racism" when asked by his audience; let that sink in for a moment.
What a moment that was!
He could define it easily if he listened to himself give a talk.
I remember seeing that.He's not that bright.
I wonder if he can "antiwhitism "
If you give a definition then you're limited by that definition. Racism is whatever the cult leaders say it is at any given moment. That's the key to its power.
Glenn nails it. Kendi’s ideas were mediocre at best. He just wasn’t very bright to begin with. People figured that out.
His idea of reverse racism is the solution isn't even an idea. It's just keep racism going but only towards white lol
I still find it somewhat jaw dropping he got traction at all. Phrases like: “The only remedy to racist discrimination is anti-racist discrimination. The only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination. The only remedy to present discrimination is future discrimination" makes zero sense to me.
Glenn went on a Kendi rant a year or so ago in a discussion with John McWhorter that really cracked me up. Here it is:
"I take umbrage at the lionization of lightweight, empty-suited, empty-headed MFers like Ibram X. Kendi, who couldn't carry my book bag. He hasn't read an effing thing. If you ask him what Nietzsche said, he'd have no idea. I'm sorry, he's an unserious, superficial, empty-suited lightweight. He's not our equal, not even close."
Of course. One had only to consider the childish statement from that book, "the only solution to past discrimination is present discrimination" to get a strong hint. What kills me is that so many so-called educated, intelligent adults drank it all in. But of course, as thinking people know, it is not the intellect of the "elites" at work in these things but their arrogance and misplaced guilt.
@@empoweryou1 It makes sense to me, but not in a good way. Histrionics for the sake of histrionics, ad infinitum. It's like Orwell's boot stomping a human face, forever. No forgiveness, no reconciliation. Just this thing presented to us as "racial justice."
i blame Kendi and DeAngelo for all the DEI that we are saddled with now. It was like a disease they went around spreading.
Well said. Great analogy.
Who do you blame for all the mass shootings and election denying?
@@TempeSoldier123 Huh? How the hell are those anything like DEI?? There's no such core group of grifters who declare themselves "Mass Shooting Promoters" and "Thought Leaders in Election Denying".
@@TempeSoldier123 but if you really want an answer to your question condensed into a CZcams comments area reply: The biggest contributors to mass shootings would be the unholy combination of a mental health crisis brought on by loneliness, lack of positive masculine role models in our culture, a destruction of a community based, interdependent culture, the proliferation of mind altering drugs as a catch all solution, the loss of the idea of 'roles' in society, the regression of healthy feminism into the devaluation of masculinity and the destruction of the father figure in American society...and election denialism is due to a combination of social media as a proliferator of bad ideas due to echo chambers and a, sadly, newly warranted mistrust of our institutions thanks to very obvious mismatches between lived experience and carefully curated reality distortion in mass media.
@@TempeSoldier123 Who do you blame for black on black crime and poverty?
First BLM and this charlatan Kendi. These debunkings can't come soon enough. Faster please!
The elite were happy with using to bash whites until Kendi committed WRONGTHINK about something else.
That's what this is all about.
I think both of them were propped up by the intel agencies or some other subversive aspect of the machine. The powers that be want this country weak, divided, distracted and squabbling over nonsense so we don’t notice how corrupt the government has gotten.
His real name is "Henry Rogers" - Hardly a militant tribal name.
@@TheeGlocktopus 😆 Who knew?
Kendi attacked Amy Coney Barrett’s children. He gets ZERO respect for that!
Democrat trans folks attack a lot of people's children with their trans ideology.
Ibram was my roommate in college for 2 years. I was really shocked when I saw his face on CZcams videos. We sort-of got along and mostly argued about basketball (he loved the Knicks), but he couldn't even write for the school newspaper. I saw something he wrote once about Michael Jordan (a hate piece) and it wasn't even high-school level writing. So I knew when all these people were suddenly talking about him as a great thinker that something very weird had happened, he's an average person with an average intellect and that's putting it very very charitably. It showed me a lot about the world and how disconnected notoriety is from actual substance.
Thank you. Did you ever attempt to tell anyone what a clown he was? Because I hope so, and I hope people listened. Glenn called him out years ago. So many people were stupid enough to fall for his BS
@@DiodeMom I told my family and friends of my family. It's definitely a hustle, he never talked about or cared about anything related to civil rights or race. Just Jadakiss and the Knicks. This whole thing is so surreal, I don't know why he's up there. Oh also, he tried to charge our college huge amounts of money to do an appearance. Just absurd. I believe it though, knowing him.
@@EGarrett01 wow. That’s just crazy.
It’s a sign of the degradation of this country that he was allowed to gain traction with these ideas in the first place. He and D’Angelo.
@@DiodeMom Yeah he was in the right place at the right time, he had written the anti-racism book earlier (I looked through one of his books at Barnes and Noble, he talks about our apartment but mainly about him and our third roommate since they were better friends) and then the Floyd thing happened so they decided to push his book to the moon. I guess it's good he took advantage of it, but I hate to say this, but he has no business being presented this way and the people acting like this about him are all exposing themselves as foolish.
@@EGarrett01Mr. Rogers/Kendi seems to be a prime example of the “soft bigotry of low expectations”. Lower the standards for academic performance, K-12, undergraduate, graduate, postgraduate, postdoctoral education/work in the name of equity, and this is the end product, at best a tool for the left.
It's a story as old as time itself: a grifted gets found out once his schtick runs it's course.
Like Trump?
@@TempeSoldier123 Wrong.
@@TempeSoldier123The next president ?
@@TerryKnight-hw3pg Agreed
@@TerryKnight-hw3pg if Trump were Black and a convicted felon, would you still vote for him?
I was in higher ed when the DEI scam hit. At times I thought I should jump on that wagon and cash in quick before it was gone. But I remembered I had self-dignity, academic and intellectual dignity and didn't want to embarrass myself as so many did.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 easier to sleep at night when you have a conscience
....you considered cashing in. Hmm, iron clad ethics...
@@ClearOutSamskaras The word you're not grasping is 'sarcasm' and 'contempt'.
@@TheDissident77 To be fair, you didn't really make the original post in a sarcastic manner. Reading it at face value it sounded like you just didn't choose to because of self-preservation and had the danger of embarrassment not been present you would have been all too happy to cash in.
Just saying on the internet it's hard to layer sarcasm sometimes, maybe ending it with "then I remembered I have morals and don't believe in this nonsense" instead of "I didn't' want to embarrass myself" would have been more effective.
@@thisismyyoutubecommentacco6302 "But I remembered I had self-dignity..." IS the sarcasm. But thanks for the unnecessary over long explanation on internet etiquette and speech. To be fair, I did write it in a sarcastic manner. That some didn't read it as such is their perspective. The last sentence, clearly deriding the whole trend as NOT having dignity, academic or intellectual integrity and embarrassing CLEARLY insulted the whole concept. Thus expressing my point of view on it. But thanks anyway.
Kendi is the ultimate affirmative-action DEI hire.
race hustler like, Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. Booker T. Washington spoke of them 100 years ago.
DEI … Diversity, Equity INCOMPETENCE!
Dr. Loury is such a kind man, not just brilliant, but kind. That's what I love about him, even when I disagree with him.
Yup. The biggest thing is he is willing to be wrong and takes it gracefully. Loury is the best of all of us. Thinking, sometimes very passionate, courageous, AND honest to a fault.
He doesn’t go hard in the paint and that’s why he will never be a champion.
That's what respect looks like. Some of my favourite people are those I like, despite my many disagreements with them. RFK Jr being exhibit A. It's why if I were American I would vote for him in a heartbeat. I don't have to agree with everything he says. I know a good man when I see one.
@@jasondashney unfortunately, I only respect committed zealots.
@@reginaldforthright805 hey, at least they go all in. Gotta respect the effort.
Kendi will suffer no consequences. He has his millions of dollars squirreled away. And he can count on the media to gaslight for him.
Maybe he may also be so self absorbed to have blown it all...
Not the NYTimes it appears
@@treyriver5676well he didn’t seem very bright anyway so I imagine like most lottery winners that he will have a higher possibility of losing his fortune because he doesn’t have enough sense to keep it.
@@yuckyool Read the article, they paint the whole thing as "smear campaign by right wing media". They're still carrying his water.
@@ashdav9980yeah you never hear stories of these grifters putting their ill gotten gains into index funds or investment properties or something. It’s lots of consumer purchases. Because that’s all money is to them, a tool for mindless consumption
I refuse to refer to him by his stage name, which he has never legally changed his name to. I prefer to call him by his real name: Henry Rogers.
Seriously? Wow I didn't know
They've all got gangsta
Why? Because Kendi is a woman's name from Kenya??
Yeah I remembered that wasn’t his real name and did a quick google search to find it. But to my surprise, Google’s description of him from Wikipedia describes him as “…American author, professor, RACIST, and historian of race…”😂, no joke.
Do a google search of “Ibram x Kendi real name” and see what pops up at the top 🤣🤣🤣
@@th6252 That is written by him or his 'followers'.
Glenn’s been calling him an empty suit for years! He knew
The elite were happy with using to bash whites until Kendi committed WRONGTHINK about something else.
That's what this is all about. The same elite cancelling him are the ones who promoted him in the first place.
Perhaps the NYT could do a deep dive on Robin DiAngelo
Absolutely 💯, yes.
Think they'd find that pool doesn't have a deep end to dive into.
NOT gonna happen. She was released by Slick Willy.
@@jlpowell51 another one deep as puddle
I'm still waiting for their "deep dive" on Stalin's crimes, that the new york slimes and Sulzburger and Duranty helped cover up.
The tittle of his book "how to be an anti-racist" should altered into "how to be a racist."
More so.. "how to be antiwhite"
aren't you clever.
In other words, all hat and no cattle. At a Q&A, Kendi was asked to define "racism." He proceeded to define the word by using the word "racism" several times as he struggled to explain exactly what it was. The audience actually laughed at him - it seems he didn't learn (in third grade) that you never define a word by using the word you are defining.
Kendi doesn’t know what a circular reasoning is 😅, that’s not even his real name. He tried to make it sound African .
What is disturbing isn’t Ibrahim necessarily. People like him will always be around. It’s the people, mainly black liberals, that championed the man’s words as doctrin and fact.
@@giovanni4u117 Not only Black Liberal, even White liberals as well. Robin D Angelo comes to mind. I call it ‘Libturdism’…..
@@statickk14 Candace Owens, if I remember correctly, said that his real name was Henry Johnson from New York.
@@wolfu597 Henry Rogers
Glenn Loury explained the failure of Ibram Kendi very well by stating his ideas, which were without substance and silly, had a season as they captured the attention of a segment of the elite.
The 'elite' grab hold to impress "See, I support your causes" to divert attention from their group for being the ones that feed off the target group. A segment of the elite use people like him to pander for votes that produce influence and money.
BS may get you there but it won't keep you there.
I think this should replace In God We Trust on our currency.
Anyone that gets a degree, let alone a PhD, in a major that only exits to keep football players eligible is a complete hack.
Anyone with a humanities degree is a hack, as are all with psychiatric and most medical degrees.
Our regional Goodwill Industries is headquartered in my city and I've supported them financially and with material donations for years. During COVID, the regional GW Industries quarterly magazine arrived in the mail. Iraq X Kendi was on the cover. Inside was a multi-page article about how the regional GW office hired Kendi to conduct a zoom workshop on how not to be racist. The organization was quite proud of itself. I couldn't figure out how this organization, with a diverse staff that successfully served a very diverse community, decided it needed to spend the money on this training. Needless to say, if the regional GW headquarters has the money to spend on this crap, they don't need my money.
Their CEO makes a six or seven figure salary. Research "Goodwill".
@@jaz8935 Yes, many people have mentioned that. However, the Goodwill's CEO oversees close to $69 million in assets over 14 countries. A salary of $700k is only 1% of what he or she is asked to oversee. Plus, the CEO has to live in Maryland where Goodwill Internat'l is headquartered, (outside D.C. - very expensive.) So it makes me wonder how good of a CEO they would get if they didn't offer that much?
I only donate to salvation army, Goodwill is all bureaucracy
@@ealeclerc9524you are on target 🎯
@@ealeclerc9524 Oh, so a few expectations come with the position---Got it.
I have been an adjunct Professor for 15 years (second job). I look up to Professors Glenn Loury, John Ioanidis, Jonathan Haidt and others. I am not in their category. However, Kendi was an empty suit since he became famous. He never had the chops. I worked very hard to equip my students and had a great time watching them learn and grow.
why have you been an adjuct for 25 years?
@@jones2277 15 years. My day job is in aerospace. 40 years in that industry and 34 years in my last company. Retiring next year. I thought about full time professorships, but saw the wokeness emerge in academia a decade ago. I predict a 40% reduction in colleges in the next decade. My university isn’t woke, but it’s certainly not diverse. The school that I am in has 120 professors and no Republicans. I am an independent.
Love Glenn. He has a wide-ranging intellect and is articulate.
WHY IS HE STILL IN THE NEWS???!!! I THOUGHT HE WAS CANCELLED AFTER BEING SUED FOR LIBEL AGAINST THAT KID?
Only fools would follow him and take him seriously.
Lot of fools out there.
@@user-pc8uq6df2klots of democrats, yep .
Glenn Loury and John McWorther have one of THE BEST CZcams discussion channels ever!!
Ibram X. Kendi crashed and burned years ago when video of him taking part in the Q & A after a panel discussion came to light online. A guy pointed out that he talked a lot about anti-racism, but asked him to define 'racism'. Kendi couldn't do it. He just mumbled some garbage about "racist policies that lead to racial inequities that are substantiated by racist ideas". That is the most perfectly circular argument in history, and it was met with nervous laughter and dumbfounded disbelief from the audience.
Kendi was the apple of MSDNC's eye. They couldn't get enough of him!
Love love love Glen. Your great for brining him on! Everyone add him to your playlist
The first sign is the name change. Anyone who changes his name from Ibram Henry Rogers to Ibram X. Kendi is essentially a pretentious clown. If I changed my name to Neo Rambo Skywalker, you know I am either out of my mind or I am just cosplaying something that I am not.
“Neo Rambo Skywalker”😂😂😂😂😂😂 This wins the internet!!!!
I’d be telling you that you’re an adult, you need to grow up and start acting like one.
WONDERFUL! Many more need to be ushered back into real life!
Kendi also spend most of his adult life in school. So coming up with weird and unrealistic ideas came natural. No real world experience.
Oh nice! Glenn’s on the show
Glenn Loury is worth a listen
I love when he and John McWhorter get together.
What I find most astounding was that anybody bought into his BS in the first place
Makes “academia” look shonky. The pseudo academics seem to have great influence everywhere, especially in these times of social upheaval eg trans issues.
High schools throughout my state had Kendi's books in them. Sometimes given as a reading assignment
That is some horrifying, Guantanamo level stuff right there. I can’t even imagine being subjected to that much brain melting stupidity.
@@sardonicus76Your witnessing the results in university's and colleges.
Glenn called this one A LONG TIME AGO...😊
I read one of his books and all I got was he was an angry bitter man who saw the world in a very ugly lens.
Megyn Kelly, I really liked this video! I subscribed too!
But what does Kendi IDENTIFY as? It’s possible he identifies as a great thinker. Right?
An excellent question and observation. I'm fairly certain he believed his own press.
Kendi can talk for an hour, the talk could be summed in few sentences and those sentences would be trivial in content.
Empty suit is a generous summary.
I just loved his explanation of what “systematic racism” is. Needless to say, he couldn’t😂
It reminds me of the quote from Andrew Ryan, the creator of rapture.
"...and what have you done? You cannot build. You can only loot and destroy"
Hold the line, Glenn!❤
"The only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination. The only remedy to present discrimination is future discrimination." - Ibram X. Kendi
What he's saying here is that if someone treats you unfairly, it's okay to treat others unfairly so they can see what it was like when you were treated unfairly. So for example, if the person you're dating cheats on you, it's okay if you cheat on the next person you're dating so that they can understand how it hurts. The only remedy to past cheating is to cheat in the present. This is how we equalize the playing field.
Great interest in Glenn Loury. Thank you.
Glenn is Great!!! I have been following him for years
"He's a lightweight John. A lightweight. "
- G. Loury
No shortage of useful token mascotts
Only lies fall like a house of cards. The truth persists like a mountain
'superficial and silly ideas' sums up so much of what we hear from so many!
Booker T. Washington talked about people like Kendi over a century ago. He said activists like Kendi don't want black people to lose their grievances because they don't want to lose their jobs.
Just subscribed. Hope you make it to 2,000,000!❤❤❤❤
didn't Kendi take or "misappropriate " donations ???
Most of them do. Look at the quote, Marxist" litres of BLM, who walked away with millions. Self-described Marxists that sold out for money. Absolutely no principles.
"but, but he black, he special! He smart!" DEI on full display!
He doesn’t care. He’s scammed his way to being a millionaire
I agree with the message that there's nothing new going on with Kendi, except for the fact that he mismanaged millions of dollars, that he built a house of cards that collapsed. It's actually gratifying to see what a great failure he created with the assistance of so meany wrong-headed persons at Boston College. Let's hope they learn from their mistakes.
Only fools didn’t see through him from the beginning.
I’m glad they did an episode about this
Yet the scammer still gets to retire rich and disappear into a world of tacky gold necklaces and green tennis shoes.
Grifters get found out sooner or later.
I found his hate to be extraordinary in its wide acceptance.
Who? Oh, you mean Henry Rogers.
Acadimia has long replaced academia .
Love the Glenn show
Fall from grace? When was he ever in grace? He was a scammer from the beginning.
Never heard of him until now.
Thank You for speaking truth!😊❤️
Glenn's passionate eloquence is always such a pleasure to listen to.
He made the whole thing up. And its being taught as fact in schools.
People may finally be seeing what conservatives have known all along about Kendi. But he has all the cash now. So it really doesn't matter.
Gee, what a shame. He was my second favorite race hustler/baiter after Sharpton.
I was waiting for, “where’s the beef?”
Funny how us smart Blacks choose humility and grace
Agreed! I find humility especially is what draws me to people. People that are always trying to prove something always appear to be hiding something about themselves. It is never a good look.
Thanks, Glenn and Megyn! DEI must STOP especially in our military and 1st responders.
news that bring warmth to the heart.
15 minute ride is over 👍
Glenn is the epitome of class. He could have gone straight ad hominem but he opened by rebuking the ideas.
He still made to much money doing the damage he did.
Let’s hope that he stays away.
The great Glenn Loury.
I love Glenn and John. I’ve been listening to them for a couple years now
Amen
DEI = Didin't Earn It...
2:39 The word you are looking for is "truth".
Is this a surprise to anyone?
Nope!
But how many millions has he squandered and stole without consequences?
Glenn Loury is one of the greatest thinkers and speakers of our time.
Sometimes things work out.
As an intellectual Kendi is a great swimmer
I enjoy that man's content.. he is one of the best conservative speakers I ever listened to..
That fake served his purpose and made millions off of a bunch of suckers.
I read half his book and it was very lightweight.
Glen Loury, I really like him and his podcast. Yes, there are things I disagree with some of his stuff, but I have to say he is good.
None of these fools are ever greater than they think they are. Big egos without substance will always get exposed.
His books were handed to me as part of a DEI section for a fitness training I did several years ago. Couldn’t get past the first few pages without disgust. I literally threw his book in the trash and I’m not sorry.
Always been obvious.
When was that guy ever IN grace to fall out?
"Where's the beef?" I wonder how many young people don't get that reference.
My favorite Kendi moment was when he was on stage at some college and someone asked him to define racism. And he used the word 'racism' in his definition of racism I think it was 4 times. Everyone knows the number 1 rule of defining a word is that you can't use the same word in your definition of a word. And all the cowards on stage and in the audience couldn't muster up the nerve to tell him that his definition wasn't even a possible definition of the word racism.
