Among the byproducts of the worldwide mayhem and destruction carried out in solemn memory of career criminal George Floyd is that books on racism are selling almost as briskly as guns. As I write this, the #3 bestseller on Amazon is something called How to Be an Antiracist by one Ibram X. Kendi.
This book is Kendi’s third. The first was The Black Campus Movement: Black Students and the Racial Reconstitution of Higher Education, 1965–1972 (2012); the second, Stamped from the Beginning: The Definitive History of Racist Ideas in America (2016), won the National Book Award, led to a Guggenheim Fellowship, and propelled Kendi, three years ago, from a low-level teaching job at the University of Florida to a position as full professor and head of the Antiracist Research and Policy Center at American University.
Next month, in a further move up the academic ladder, Kendi, age 37, will take up a plum post as director of the brand-new Boston University Center for Antiracist Research. He’ll also publish Antiracist Baby, a “board book” for very young children (already #15 on Amazon) “that introduces the youngest readers and the grown-ups in their lives to the concept and power of anti-racism.”

It’s a mad mad mad mad mad mad mad world ....
Commies R Us.
Treating nonsense like this as a serious course of study only gives leftist blacks a strong sense of entitlement, and when they ultimately still fail to negotiate reality and the world, it encourages rage.
shame on Boston University.
Johnathon winters was fantastic, as they all were, in that movie.
I have it
Big Al would be proud. Never let a crisis go without pulling a paycheck from it.

it does encourage rage. I have a lot rage now and I want to get this dance going. I’m sick of waiting for it. there’s a war going on and only one side is fighting. Time to man up and put a lot of BLM and antifa people in the hospital.
cops are being shot and killed. Civilians are being killed and beaten. Statues are being torn down, fires are being started. I don’t know where other folks come from but that’s a war. Or really a pillage because no one is fighting back.
I’m tired of talkin. There should be hundreds meeting BLM and antifa head on in the streets
the only stands I’ve seen taken are the Italians surrounding the Columbus statues and the folks guarding the Alamo.
If they want to do this then let’s do this. I’m sick of all the talk
What YOU said.
Tired of the crap.
American University, once a good school that JFK helped inaugurate (I went there for graduate school. At that time professors taught, everyone discussed issues, and only SDS brought limited violence to the campus. They took over the Dean’s Office and the fraternities/football players threw them out of it, often not opening the doors or windows).
For the last 45 years or so, it has become “Marxist Central on the Hill” (Massachusetts Avenue NW and the cross road).
Full of traitors, psychos and communists.
“It’s under da big “W’’!
