When Ibram X. Kendi’s preposterous thesis that “the only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination” becomes mainstream practice, you know things are upside down.
Kendi is the author of the poorly reasoned 2019 leftist propaganda book, “How to Be an Antiracist,” which became not only a bestseller, but a clarion call for progressives.
In a speech at the Aspen Ideas Festival, Kendi put his anti-reasoning skills on display, according to the New York Post. “When I see racial disparities, I see racism,” Kendi said. If that isn’t a blanket generalization, the logical fallacy of that name has no meaning.
And yet Kendi’s obtuse theories have burrowed deep into some of America’s most beloved institutions like a fever-carrying tick in a bloodhound’s ear.
The United States Military Academy in West Point, New York — which has graduated the likes of Ulysses S. Grant, Douglas MacArthur and Dwight D. Eisenhower — is one such institution. And it’s being called out for it.
On Tuesday, lawyers representing the Students for Fair Admissions sued West Point for alleged race and ethnicity discrimination in admissions decisions, according to Politico. SFFA is the anti-affirmative action group that tanked race-conscious admissions practices at Harvard in a Supreme Court decision.
But the decision that nixed racial admissions policies at Harvard and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill determined that because no military academy was party to the suit, the opinion did not include admissions issues at these schools “in light of the potentially distinct interests that military academies may present,” according to Politico.
SFFA didn’t agree with the justices’ logic and argued there is “no justification for using race-based admissions” and, since the practice is now illegal at non-military universities, West Point “is not exempt from the Constitution.”

I saw it. Disgusting.
If only we had someone who could have drained this swamp...It’s a shame we didn’t.
I thought conservatives didn't compromise or accommodate the excesses of the left. But maybe you're right and Lot should never have left Sodom, lest he be called a quitter.

Looks like a Broadway play so here’s my song.
Sung to There’s No Business Like Show Business.
There’s no business like race business
we’re race baiting all day.
When you see a pale face in the next room
you know they’ll never get the open job
the chances of a white are facing sure doom
we don’t accept them or their honky mob.
Great post.
When I see racial disparities, I see cultural disparities.
And isn't multiculturalism a good thing? /s
I can’t understand why anybody even wants to join Brandon’s transdemic military.
WTF is THAT all about??
He didn’t want to become a pillar of salt. 😄😄😊😂😚
You never saw that picture before?
Going forward the progressives will, when the chance comes, throw, especially elite units, into unwinnable meat grinders...intentionally.
Welcome to 21st century America.
As a wise man once observed...
“Two groups of people whose members are easily identifiable as belonging to one or the other group AND whose group AVERAGE IQ differs significantly (like one standard deviation) will never be able to peacefully coexist together.”
There are only two options...
1 - separation
2 - constant strife
Right now we have #2, and that will continue until there’s a way to achieve #1.
It’s a sad and unfortunate situation, but it’s reality.
lefty troll
The Marxist Dems need the Islamic Military on their side to Socialize America.
Careful there, the neocons and cuckservatives will call you racist, and they will instead demand you extol the contributions that black africans have given the rest of the civilized world such as....uhhhh....ummmm........
It’s the Marxist muslim coalition which I call obamanites.
The death to America crowd, same faulkers that run the government and have occupied the white house for the last 3 terms.
I'd be interested to hear what Professors Dershowitz and Turley might have to say about this case.
