West Point Sued After Director of Admissions Brags About What Happens to White Applicants
Western journal ^

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.”

“Yeah I thought that was a WAAAAAY off-base comment; there could be a minute sliver of context involved but without it this is bald-faced bigotry.”

The picture he’s referring to shows the black female cadets with their sabers drawn giving the black power salute. Disgusting.

I heard dumbass Henry Rogers (Kendi’s real name) try to define ‘racism’ in audio on the radio yesterday.

It was the epitome of pathetic, and even more outrageous that he’s been elevated to some sort of ‘pied piper’ to advance the progressive agenda.

He and anyone who support his views merit being put down.

“the only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination”

By that logic, the only response to rape, assault and murder is more rape, assault and murder.

Per the above website.... This picture is from spring 2016. Nothing happened to the black supremacist cadets.

I said “excuse me?”

That was an appropriate question.

The US military has been blatantly discriminating against white candidates. Politicians remain mute for fear of being called racist.

Left off that Robert E. Lee was a West Point graduate as well.

So was Jefferson Davis.

That reminds me of a little sketch. Son asks dad, daddy, what did you do in the war? Father: well, I managed to avoid being called a racist. 😆

“When I see racial disparities, I see racism,” Kendi said.

Kendi is a very disturbed person who sees racism in EVERYTHING.

A broad definition of a liberal is that of a person driven by the haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may not be racist.

Another broad definition of a liberal is that of a person driven by the haunting fear that not everyone, everywhere will believe that Climate Change is a dire emergency which warrants the draconian rule they lust for, and successfully oppose them.
