Current and former staff at Boston University's Center for Antiracist Research, gave a scathing assessment of its leadership, fiscal management and inability to meet goals, in Thursday's student newspaper.
"The Center has very, very much failed to deliver on its promise. It’s been a colossal waste of millions of dollars," Spencer Piston told the student newspaper, The Daily Free Press. Piston is an associate professor of political science, who works as the faculty lead in the Policy office at the Center for Antiracist Research "CAR."
Staff and faculty spoke out after CAR recently laid off at least 15-20 employees. Boston University explained that center was restructuring to a "fellowship model." But former staff claimed its founder, Ibram X. Kendi, had told them the past model was not "financially sustainable."

‘Colossal waste of millions of dollars’
My thoughts exactly!
> antiracist
i.e. stick it to whitey
Stealing $$ tens of millions from corporations and white liberals is great work, if you can get it.
Kang Kendi y'all
LOL
I just wonder how much $ went into the pocket of Ibram X. Kendi?
So , the people that worked there are saying it was a huge waste..
What did THEY do while taking home a paycheck?
And what % of all of this grant money was used to bribe/extort/ solicit More Money for thier org/ department?
Center for Antiracist Research filled with the most racist people they could find ?
Sounds to me like the academic equivalent of midnight basketball - pay off a bunch of mediocrities with a comfortable sinecure, in hopes of keeping the peace.
[[Fed-up staff seethe]]
Hmmm- encouraging to see not all Bostonians are completely woke-
Any criticism of the Boston University’s Center for Antiracist Research is racist.
This guy has been a known grifter for years.
I suggested she steer clear of BU (although that is my alumni, the alumni mags I get are woke on steroids,) and even MIT is on the cusp now.
“failed to deliver on its promise”
So what was “its promise”?
To waste millions of dollars on nothing? That promise was kept.
To end racism? There isn’t much racism left to eradicate in the USA.
To propagandize kids K-12 and into college to be “antiracist” racists? That one is underway.
To destroy all white people and their culture? OK, there’s lots of work left to be done on that one.
To replace all white people with blacks and browns? Yeah, more work needs to be done on that one.
The idea of “antiracist” is ridiculous itself. It may sound good to emotional liberals, but it is against nature. Anyone tells you they “don’t see color” when interacting with a stranger is being disingenuous at best, and is virtue signaling at worst.
Anti-white hate is so wonderful that it can’t be measured in dollars.
;-)
“Embrace Racelessness”
My slogan.
Great conversation starter/stopper. (YMMV)
You don’t get to keep blaming whitey for free.
I do not think you understand “antiracist”. The MLK ideas were “Do not see color”.
To the difference of MLK people, Antiracists see color everywhere.
This is TOTALLY NORMAL for anything connected with most Government or Educational Systems.
