Tornado Alley (PROG)

conix, Political correctness. "Woke". Critical Race Theory. Now Kendi. The latest conservative/GOP whipping post. Policy? C'mon.
We just attack. Kendi has always been with the others on the conservatives dart board. Just more in the background. Some others

"Ibram X. Kendi is the false prophet of a dangerous and lucrative faith"

Gawd, false prophet. Which right-winger labeled him a prophet first? Dangerous and lucrative faith.
I didn't know Kendi was one of those 'money is good' Christian tv evangelists. You're right he's not.

Yep, an excerpt to summarize what the grub is on about - How Tucker Carlson became the voice of White grievance
[...]
But on many nights, it is Carlson’s White grievance that dominates the show.
P - He has questioned whether Floyd’s death was caused by a police officer and says Black Lives Matter is “poison” for the country. He has promoted a claim, embraced by white nationalists, that “the Democratic Party is trying to replace the current electorate [with] more obedient voters from the Third World.”
P - He has accused Boston University Professor Ibram X. Kendi, author of “How to Be an Antiracist .. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0525509283?ie=UTF8&tag=thewaspos09-20&camp=1789&linkCode=xm2&creativeASIN=0525509283 ,” of promoting racism. He called a top military leader a “pig” for saying he wanted to understand the role racism played in the Capitol attack. And he has said Black people and their White supporters are on a mission to spread “race hate,” devoting many of his segments over the past year to bashing the ideas behind critical race theory.

How a Conservative Activist Invented the Conflict Over Critical Race Theory
Thanks. You saved me chasing those videos. I never heard of that Rufo dude before, yet
seems he's a key - even the KEY - player in the present political outrage around CRT.
P - To Christopher Rufo, a term for a school of legal scholarship looked like the perfect weapon.
[...]
...Rufo summarized his findings in an article for the Web site of City Journal, the magazine of the center-right Manhattan Institute: “Under the banner of ‘antiracism,’ Seattle’s Office of Civil Rights is now explicitly endorsing principles of segregationism, group-based guilt, and race essentialism—ugly concepts that should have been left behind a century ago.”
P - The story was a phenomenon and helped to generate more leaks from across the country. Marooned at home, civil servants recorded and photographed their own anti-racism training sessions and sent the evidence to Rufo. Reading through these documents, and others, Rufo noticed that they tended to cite a small set of popular anti-racism books, by authors such as Ibram X. Kendi .. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2019/08/19/the-fight-to-redefine-racism .. and Robin DiAngelo .. https://www.newyorker.com/books/page-turner/a-sociologist-examines-the-white-fragility-that-prevents-white-americans-from-confronting-racism . Rufo read the footnotes in those books, and found that they pointed to academic scholarship from the nineteen-nineties, by a group of legal scholars who referred to their work as critical race theory, in particular Kimberlé Crenshaw and Derrick Bell. These scholars argued that the white supremacy of the past lived on in the laws and societal rules of the present. As Crenshaw recently explained .. https://www.cnn.com/2020/10/01/us/critical-race-theory-explainer-trnd/index.html , critical race theory found that “the so-called American dilemma was not simply a matter of prejudice but a matter of structured disadvantages that stretched across American society.”
[...]
Since his appearance on “Tucker Carlson Tonight” last fall, Rufo’s rise had matched that of the movement against critical race theory.

Biden Set to Push Critical Race Theory on U.S. Schools
By STANLEY KURTZ
April 19, 2021
The woke revolution in the classroom is about to go federal. In an early but revelatory move, President Biden’s Department of Education has signaled its intent to impose the most radical forms of Critical Race Theory on America’s schools, very much including the 1619 Project and the so-called anti-racism of Ibram X. Kendi. (Kendi’s “anti-racism” — which advocates a massive and indefinite expansion of reverse discrimination — is more like neo-racism.) Biden is obviously co-opting conservatives’ interest in reviving traditional U.S. history and civics to deliver its perfect opposite — federal imposition of the very ideas conservatives aim to combat.
