For a prominent anti-capitalist, delivering a one-hour speech pays nearly half of what the average American makes in a year.
Controversial author and critical race theory advocate Ibram X. Kendi reportedly earned over $500 per minute to give a speech at the University of Virginia in April 2021.
According to a contract obtained by the Daily Wire, the University of Virginia paid Kendi $32,500 to host an hour-long discussion on "racial equity."
According to Statista, the average American's annual salary was about $71,456 in 2020.
The fee the public university paid to the anti-capitalist activist breaks down to $541 per minute.
Young America’s Foundation, a conservative group on campus, told the Daily Wire it is "not familiar" with conservative speakers being invited to campus and said that it is "shameful" the school paid "such a racist figure" to speak at the school.
The University of Virginia did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News regarding conservative speakers being invited to campus.

So he doesn’t promote this out of the goodness of his heart?
What is TJ’s current rpm?
Noce gog if you csn get it.
Wow. I was once told by a high school guidance counselor that I wasn’t UVA quality.
I now realize this was a compliment of the highest order.
This is the guy Ben Shapiro talked about and showed a clip.
Kendi was interviewed by some conservative and asked what was race? Kendi laughed and could not coherently answer the question.
What a scam country this has became, guy gets paid 500 dollars to supposedly share his nearly infinite knowledge on anti-racism and doesn’t even know what race is.
It’s all about the lefts narrative and goals not what is true or correct or good.
To be very clear a number of fiduciaries to the state of VA caused Kendi to be paid out of public funds.
<< guy gets paid 500 dollars >>
Per minute. And he spoke for over an hour.
no wonder he’s smiling ...
He is a professional Negro and race hustler. His specialty is shaking down White Northeastern liberals over "White guilt".
Yeah, it’s really gone downhill. I think at first the Neocons took over and now it’s down to loser communist.
$9.00 per second
The CRT will continue until the money runs out.
Supported by taxpayers of Virginia. Virginians are owed a major refund for this.
Sometimes a speaking fee is money laundering. I go to a university and say that I’ll donate 100K anonymously if you ask a particular person to speak and pay them 50K.
The speaker gets 50K (for 60 minutes of talking at a lectern) that can legitimately go on his 1040, I make a 100K charitable donation, and the school pockets 50K. Win win win.
And then there are book deals...
I remember someone calling Rush and ragging on Beau Snerdley. They said he should change his name to Jambo Jambone X.
