“When DEI is under attack, what do we do? Stand up, Fight Back!!! We stand for Claudine Gay.” — The Rev. Al Sharpton.
Wondering about who the Harvard Board of Trustees might consider for president of that august outfit once Claudine Gay moves to her new professorship in the graduate program for creative writing? The no-brainer, in more ways than one, has got to be Ibram X. Kendi, the founding director of Boston University’s Center for Antiracist Research, launched in 2020, then un-launched in September, 2023, after BU auditors disclosed that $43-million in donations, endowments, and grants to the center could not be accounted for.
Mistakes were made, BU conceded, mostly by white people seeking to discredit the antiracism movement, proving the persistence of structural racism. Dr. Kendi explained to The New York Times that critics were using the situation “to settle old scores and demonstrate that I’m a problem or that antiracism is a problem,” because blaming the victim is one of the core techniques of those behind structural racism. “Unfortunately, we live in such a polarized, spiteful sort of reactionary moment,” he said.
Surely, the firing of President Gay at Harvard was just such a case of spitefully settling old scores, and Dr. Kendi is the best-qualified candidate to root out the remaining reactionary racists on Harvard’s payroll, who pose the gravest threat to democracy, hate-speech elimination, and equity in academia. We could expect President Kendi to double-down on the institution’s commitment to advancing marginalized people at all costs. Also, consider: Boston U is less than a mile across the Charles River from Harvard, so at least no moving costs to get Dr. Kendi on-board — what with some of the school’s biggest donors (e.g., Wall Street’s Bill Ackman) threatening to withhold future giftings to Harvard’s hedge fund, a.k.a., its endowment.
Perhaps a shrewder hire would be Admiral Rachel (née Richard) Levine, Assistant Secretary for Health at HHS, one of the chief overseers (whoops), I mean, administrators of America’s official Covid-19 policies, and chief promoter of mRNA vaccine mandates. Wikipedia tells us: “Levine was commissioned as a four-star admiral in the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps, becoming the first openly transgender four-star officer in any of the United States uniformed services as well as the first female four-star admiral in the Commissioned Corps,” evading the fact that s/he is not actually a female, but rather a male pretending to be a female, with scrupulous attention to hair and costume.
Readers can argue as to whether female is interchangeable with the word woman and whether imagining oneself to be a woman is the same as being a woman. But you see this would be exactly the advantage of putting Dr. (pediatrician) Levine in the president’s chair at Harvard: the nation’s attention would shift dramatically from the quandaries of racism and anti-racism to the even richer perplexities of gender identity, while exposing the baleful influence of men who remain on the Harvard faculty in promoting intransigent patriarchy, often tinged with toxic whiteness.
As president of Harvard, Dr. Levine could elevate and emphasize the importance of pretending in higher education. Of course, pretending is already well-established in academic journals and publishing, and especially lately in the medical science surrounding one of Dr. Levine’s specialties, Covid-19 (and its remedies). One can only hope that the admiral will recruit Dr. Eric Feigl-Ding, Chief of the Covid Task Force at the New England Complex Systems Institute, as her chief of staff. As recently as three days ago, Dr. Feigl-Ding tweeted (or X’ed): “Anti-vax campaigns are fueled by disinformation army. Your friends and family are pummeled with disinfo to the point they start to believe it — but don’t fall for it!” Meaning: for goodness sake, go out and get more mRNA booster shots! Especially because, as Dr. F-D also declares on X, “a raging inferno of Covid is surging nationwide.”....

Al Sharpton has hurt blacks in so many ways, but managed to enrich himself. Does he really work for the KKK?
DEI is a clause to go to the head of the line due to inept skills and it helps the quota law.
Just musing on the fact that Howard Zinn taught at BU back in the dark ages. Was that a cause or a symptom of what has happened to that school.
nb: AOC got her alleged degree in economics there, too.
Think about this for moment; Harvard set out to hire a black female president. Just about anybody who was offered the job would take it due to its prestige and salary. They had, in effect, the choice of almost every black female in the entire country. The best black female they could find had a fraction of the credentials that would have been required of a white male. The best black female they could find turned out to be a fraud. Now liberals and influential blacks are defending her and attacking the people who exposed her. That’s a microcosm of what is really happening in this country.
I would argue the second best they could find. The best became vice president, and that should really scare us.
You assume they wanted the best, most qualified person. They don’t. They don’t select males that way either, for a job like that. Credentials should be there, but always combined with a persona that plays well with the self-congratulatory, virtue signaling brand they are promoting.
That eliminates many candidates from hard sciences, accounting, etc. It leaves out independent thinkers.
Al Sharpton is a fraud. He is no more a “Rev.” than I am. He never went to divinity school, never had a congregation, and never had a church. He was “ordained” by a DC preacher when he was 10 years old and has perpetuated the lie ever since. He has a horrible track record on picking the truthful side of any issue, from Tawana Brawley to the Duke Five. Despite the lies he’d told in order to get facetime on TV, he slinks away when he is shown to by lying or is flat-out wrong. He never admits or apologizes when he’s wrong...which is most of the time. He is wrong again on the Claudine Gay issue, too. Her behavior has nothing to do with race. She was pressured because she lied about her qualifications for her job. White, black, or purple, race was not the issue. Simply stated, she lied about her qualifications to hold that job and was rightfully fired. Black people should be held accountable misconduct as should any other person.
Someone tell that Sharpton phony this is not about race and his efforts to make it so simply make him look like the stupid fool he is.
I can’t recall when I’ve heard either him or the other JUSTus brother preach an actual sermon.
What’s happening is that she served their purpose until she got too big for her usefulness and didn’t squash the speech they didn’t like. It’s all about the genocide and why it can’t be mentioned.
All of this is a “look over here” pysop to cover up for the ongoing genocide by the IDF in Gaza. Anyone who doesn’t recognize the army of talkers that are unleashed is lacking in the ability to step back and see the big picture. One should also recognize why all lofts of power and influence are filled with team members. Do you see the strings?
Replacement is not a theory - it’s a fact and we’re loving it!
And disgustingly, self loathing, guilt ridden WHITES have been leading the charge.
‘’genocide by the IDF’? Are you f’ing serious?
