Glenn went on a Kendi rant a year or so ago in a discussion with John McWhorter that really cracked me up. Here it is: "I take umbrage at the lionization of lightweight, empty-suited, empty-headed MFers like Ibram X. Kendi, who couldn't carry my book bag. He hasn't read an effing thing. If you ask him what Nietzsche said, he'd have no idea. I'm sorry, he's an unserious, superficial, empty-suited lightweight. He's not our equal, not even close."
Of course. One had only to consider the childish statement from that book, "the only solution to past discrimination is present discrimination" to get a strong hint. What kills me is that so many so-called educated, intelligent adults drank it all in. But of course, as thinking people know, it is not the intellect of the "elites" at work in these things but their arrogance and misplaced guilt.

He proceeded to define the word by using the word "racism" several times as he struggled to explain exactly what it was. The audience actually laughed at him - it seems he didn't learn (in third grade) that you never define a word by using the word you are defining.
What is disturbing isn’t Ibrahim necessarily. People like him will always be around. It’s the people, mainly black liberals, that championed the man’s words as doctrin and fact.
Yeah I remembered that wasn’t his real name and did a quick google search to find it. But to my surprise, Google’s description of him from Wikipedia describes him as “…American author, professor, RACIST, and historian of race…”😂, no joke. Do a google search of “Ibram x Kendi real name” and see what pops up at the top 🤣🤣🤣
Glenn Loury explained the failure of Ibram Kendi very well by stating his ideas, which were without substance and silly, had a season as they captured the attention of a segment of the elite.
The 'elite' grab hold to impress "See, I support your causes" to divert attention from their group for being the ones that feed off the target group. A segment of the elite use people like him to pander for votes that produce influence and money.
The first sign is the name change. Anyone who changes his name from Ibram Henry Rogers to Ibram X. Kendi is essentially a pretentious clown. If I changed my name to Neo Rambo Skywalker, you know I am either out of my mind or I am just cosplaying something that I am not.
Our regional Goodwill Industries is headquartered in my city and I've supported them financially and with material donations for years. During COVID, the regional GW Industries quarterly magazine arrived in the mail. Iraq X Kendi was on the cover. Inside was a multi-page article about how the regional GW office hired Kendi to conduct a zoom workshop on how not to be racist. The organization was quite proud of itself. I couldn't figure out how this organization, with a diverse staff that successfully served a very diverse community, decided it needed to spend the money on this training. Needless to say, if the regional GW headquarters has the money to spend on this crap, they don't need my money.
@@jaz8935 Yes, many people have mentioned that. However, the Goodwill's CEO oversees close to $69 million in assets over 14 countries. A salary of $700k is only 1% of what he or she is asked to oversee. Plus, the CEO has to live in Maryland where Goodwill Internat'l is headquartered, (outside D.C. - very expensive.) So it makes me wonder how good of a CEO they would get if they didn't offer that much?
I have been an adjunct Professor for 15 years (second job). I look up to Professors Glenn Loury, John Ioanidis, Jonathan Haidt and others. I am not in their category. However, Kendi was an empty suit since he became famous. He never had the chops. I worked very hard to equip my students and had a great time watching them learn and grow.
@@jones2277 15 years. My day job is in aerospace. 40 years in that industry and 34 years in my last company. Retiring next year. I thought about full time professorships, but saw the wokeness emerge in academia a decade ago. I predict a 40% reduction in colleges in the next decade. My university isn’t woke, but it’s certainly not diverse. The school that I am in has 120 professors and no Republicans. I am an independent.
Ibram X. Kendi crashed and burned years ago when video of him taking part in the Q & A after a panel discussion came to light online. A guy pointed out that he talked a lot about anti-racism, but asked him to define 'racism'. Kendi couldn't do it. He just mumbled some garbage about "racist policies that lead to racial inequities that are substantiated by racist ideas". That is the most perfectly circular argument in history, and it was met with nervous laughter and dumbfounded disbelief from the audience.
Makes “academia” look shonky. The pseudo academics seem to have great influence everywhere, especially in these times of social upheaval eg trans issues.
Kendi can talk for an hour, the talk could be summed in few sentences and those sentences would be trivial in content. Empty suit is a generous summary.
"The only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination. The only remedy to present discrimination is future discrimination." - Ibram X. Kendi What he's saying here is that if someone treats you unfairly, it's okay to treat others unfairly so they can see what it was like when you were treated unfairly. So for example, if the person you're dating cheats on you, it's okay if you cheat on the next person you're dating so that they can understand how it hurts. The only remedy to past cheating is to cheat in the present. This is how we equalize the playing field.
Booker T. Washington talked about people like Kendi over a century ago. He said activists like Kendi don't want black people to lose their grievances because they don't want to lose their jobs.
My tutoring job required us to watch Kendi's antiracism videos as part of our training. I'm not kidding. There is nothing useful about hos ideology. Glad he is getting exposed.
Most of them do. Look at the quote, Marxist" litres of BLM, who walked away with millions. Self-described Marxists that sold out for money. Absolutely no principles.
Yeah that sucks. My sister and I were friends with the only black girl in our private school, from kindergarten. In fact she had lots of friends from Kindergarten on. She came to kids parties with her parents and everyone was kind to everyone no matter the color. And this is in the Deep South!
Agreed! I find humility especially is what draws me to people. People that are always trying to prove something always appear to be hiding something about themselves. It is never a good look.
Kendi was a low level professor who remade his image. First time I saw him speak it was extremely underwhelming. Hard to believe that so many fell for his BS.
I agree with the message that there's nothing new going on with Kendi, except for the fact that he mismanaged millions of dollars, that he built a house of cards that collapsed. It's actually gratifying to see what a great failure he created with the assistance of so meany wrong-headed persons at Boston College. Let's hope they learn from their mistakes.
My favorite Kendi moment was when he was on stage at some college and someone asked him to define racism. And he used the word 'racism' in his definition of racism I think it was 4 times. Everyone knows the number 1 rule of defining a word is that you can't use the same word in your definition of a word. And all the cowards on stage and in the audience couldn't muster up the nerve to tell him that his definition wasn't even a possible definition of the word racism.
@@henrylicious There are vast swaths of evidence that counter his claims. A real academic would address those and provide a counter argument (hopefully based on evidence) if they disagree with them. What Sowell chooses to do it is recycle very old ideas that others have spent decades collecting evidence to discredit. He just publishes a book to sell to the masses and ignores the rigors of academic research (he quit decades ago). His only audience he has to please now are conservatives that watch podcasts and yell "yes" to the screen.

Glenn nails it. Kendi’s ideas were mediocre at best. He just wasn’t very bright to begin with. People figured that out.
His idea of reverse racism is the solution isn't even an idea. It's just keep racism going but only towards white lol

That is some horrifying, Guantanamo level stuff right there. I can’t even imagine being subjected to that much brain melting stupidity.
@@sardonicus76Your witnessing the results in university's and colleges.
He doesn’t care. He’s scammed his way to being a millionaire
'superficial and silly ideas' sums up so much of what we hear from so many!
"but, but he black, he special! He smart!" DEI on full display!
Just subscribed. Hope you make it to 2,000,000!❤❤❤❤
"The only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination. The only remedy to present discrimination is future discrimination." - Ibram X. Kendi
What he's saying here is that if someone treats you unfairly, it's okay to treat others unfairly so they can see what it was like when you were treated unfairly. So for example, if the person you're dating cheats on you, it's okay if you cheat on the next person you're dating so that they can understand how it hurts. The only remedy to past cheating is to cheat in the present. This is how we equalize the playing field.
I’m glad they did an episode about this
It reminds me of the quote from Andrew Ryan, the creator of rapture.
"...and what have you done? You cannot build. You can only loot and destroy"
"He's a lightweight John. A lightweight. "
- G. Loury
Booker T. Washington talked about people like Kendi over a century ago. He said activists like Kendi don't want black people to lose their grievances because they don't want to lose their jobs.
He still made to much money doing the damage he did.
Let’s hope that he stays away.
I enjoy that man's content.. he is one of the best conservative speakers I ever listened to..
I love Glenn and John. I’ve been listening to them for a couple years now
My tutoring job required us to watch Kendi's antiracism videos as part of our training. I'm not kidding. There is nothing useful about hos ideology. Glad he is getting exposed.
Only lies fall like a house of cards. The truth persists like a mountain
Glenn Loury is one of the greatest thinkers and speakers of our time.
Thank You for speaking truth!😊❤️
Glenn's passionate eloquence is always such a pleasure to listen to.
The great Glenn Loury.
Gee, what a shame. He was my second favorite race hustler/baiter after Sharpton.
Thanks, Glenn and Megyn! DEI must STOP especially in our military and 1st responders.
didn't Kendi take or "misappropriate " donations ???
Most of them do. Look at the quote, Marxist" litres of BLM, who walked away with millions. Self-described Marxists that sold out for money. Absolutely no principles.
Never heard of him until now.
Only fools didn’t see through him from the beginning.
That fake served his purpose and made millions off of a bunch of suckers.
I had to read DeAngelo in college, and I can assure you, Critical theory is not a legitimate academic discipline. It's entirely made up of assertion.
Yet the scammer still gets to retire rich and disappear into a world of tacky gold necklaces and green tennis shoes.
Anyone who says babies are racist is sick. My toddler granddaughter plays with and hugs black kids on the playground all the time
Yeah that sucks. My sister and I were friends with the only black girl in our private school, from kindergarten. In fact she had lots of friends from Kindergarten on. She came to kids parties with her parents and everyone was kind to everyone no matter the color. And this is in the Deep South!
He made the whole thing up. And its being taught as fact in schools.
Woke is garbage and garbage is Woke. We need to distance ourselves from Kendi and get back to Martin Luther King.
Glenn is the epitome of class. He could have gone straight ad hominem but he opened by rebuking the ideas.
Black privilege is real.
People may finally be seeing what conservatives have known all along about Kendi. But he has all the cash now. So it really doesn't matter.
No shortage of useful token mascotts
Funny how us smart Blacks choose humility and grace
Agreed! I find humility especially is what draws me to people. People that are always trying to prove something always appear to be hiding something about themselves. It is never a good look.
Grifters get found out sooner or later.
Kendi was a low level professor who remade his image. First time I saw him speak it was extremely underwhelming. Hard to believe that so many fell for his BS.
I agree with the message that there's nothing new going on with Kendi, except for the fact that he mismanaged millions of dollars, that he built a house of cards that collapsed. It's actually gratifying to see what a great failure he created with the assistance of so meany wrong-headed persons at Boston College. Let's hope they learn from their mistakes.
Glen Loury, I really like him and his podcast. Yes, there are things I disagree with some of his stuff, but I have to say he is good.
My favorite Kendi moment was when he was on stage at some college and someone asked him to define racism. And he used the word 'racism' in his definition of racism I think it was 4 times. Everyone knows the number 1 rule of defining a word is that you can't use the same word in your definition of a word. And all the cowards on stage and in the audience couldn't muster up the nerve to tell him that his definition wasn't even a possible definition of the word racism.
I found his hate to be extraordinary in its wide acceptance.
news that bring warmth to the heart.
Kendi has spent his life sowing seeds of hate.
But how many millions has he squandered and stole without consequences?
Amen
Who? Oh, you mean Henry Rogers.
Unfortunately he will just be replaced by the next one.
Kendi sent race relations back 20 years. It will take an entire generation to unwind the hate this man spewed
Anyone who's heard about CRT and DEI isn't surprised by this. He always came across as pompous and uncaring.
Glenn is the man!
Reminds of me of the complete lack of rigor in research with Sowell's books. But, that won't be addressed in right wing channels.
People keep saying things like this but give zero examples. Where ,when and in what book?
@@henrylicious There are vast swaths of evidence that counter his claims. A real academic would address those and provide a counter argument (hopefully based on evidence) if they disagree with them. What Sowell chooses to do it is recycle very old ideas that others have spent decades collecting evidence to discredit. He just publishes a book to sell to the masses and ignores the rigors of academic research (he quit decades ago). His only audience he has to please now are conservatives that watch podcasts and yell "yes" to the screen.
Acadimia has long replaced academia .
Love Glen, he comes off as reasoned and reasonable
