CBS's Kendi: Gun-Rights Advocates Are Like People Who Fought for Slavery

Do you support the Second Amendment freedom to keep and bear arms? If so, you are akin to people who fought for the right to own slaves! That is, if you believe Ibram X. Kendi, a CBS News "Racial Justice Contributor," and anti-racism maven.

Appearing on Sunday's Face the Nation on the occasion of Juneteenth, host Margaret Brennan asked the radical Kendi how he would explain the meaning of the holiday to his six-year-old daughter. Replied Kendi:

"I'm actually going to teach her that . . . throughout this nation's history, there's been two perspectives on freedom, really two fights for freedom. Enslaved people were fighting for freedom from slavery, and enslavers were fighting for the freedom to enslave.

And in many ways that sort of contrast still exists today. There are people who are fighting for freedom from assault rifles, freedom from poverty, freedom from exploitation. And there are others who are fighting for freedom to exploit, freedom to have guns, freedom to maintain inequality."

If we've any hope of saving our Republic, idiots like Kendi must lose their platforms.

“Didn’t know the Constitution had a slavery amendment? Why didn’t I see it in the one I have framed in my office?”

It has an Anti-Slavery amendment, the 13th, which came into effect in October 1865. Some months after ‘Juneteenth.’ That was the time slaves in Maryland, Delaware, Kentucky and Missouri were freed.

Nonsense. The slave does not dream of being free. The slave dreams of being MASTER. This "Kendi" creatures' vicious racial bigotry, as expressed in his book, which I have read, damns him for this. Mentally, "Kendi" is still a slave ... and that's entirely his fault.

Anti gun-rights advocates are people who ensure slavery.

From Wiki:

Kendi was born in the Jamaica neighborhood of the New York City borough of Queens,[4][2][6] to middle-class parents, Carol Rogers, a former business analyst for a health-care organization,[4] and Larry Rogers, a tax accountant and then hospital chaplain. Both of his parents are now retired and work as Methodist ministers.[4][7] He has an older brother, Akil.[4]

From third to eighth grade, Kendi attended private Christian schools in Queens.[8] After attending John Bowne High School as a freshman, at age 15, Kendi moved with his family to Manassas, Virginia, in 1997 and attended Stonewall Jackson High School for his final three years of high school,[9] from which he graduated in 2000.[7][8]

In 2005, Kendi received dual B.S. degrees in African American Studies and magazine production from Florida A&M University. In 2007, Kendi earned an M.A. and in 2010 a Ph.D. in African American Studies from Temple University.[10] Kendi's dissertation was titled "The Black Campus Movement: An Afrocentric Narrative History of the Struggle to Diversify Higher Education, 1965-1972". His advisor was Ama Mazama.[1]

BTW, his real name is "Ibram Henry Rogers" ... Never trust a fake-named "activist".

And if this "Rogers" fellow were a horn, he'd be a vuvuzela.

Kendi misses an obvious point. The only question in America today that is analogous to the slavery question of the 19th century is abortion.

Is slavery morally right or wrong? By the mid 19th century many were saying it was wrong, in fact so wrong that some believed violent acts against it were justified. See John Brown

On the other hand slavery was perfectly legal in slave states, had long been practiced and was Constitutionally protected.

Is abortion morally right or wrong? In the late 20th and early 21st centuries many are saying it is wrong, in fact so wrong that some believe that violent acts against it are justified.

On the other hand abortion is now perfectly legal in all states and is currently Constitutionally protected.

So, how does Kendi feel about abortion which has taken the lives of so many black babies?

Prisons are full of men named (first name) “X” or Arabic names of some sort. Their birth names are invariably conventional. They were radicalized in prison. Kendl was radicalized in college by the same schools of thought. Neo marxist afrocentric radicals.

His silence on the topic is damning.

I knew that, but the idiot think the people who fought to keep slaves and gun rights people are the same, but they are not...
