“With the fall of the House of Kendi – the $40 million Center for Antiracist Research at Boston University – it may finally be allowable to discuss the death of the man who turned on the spigots, George Floyd.

In the way of background, Kendi was born Ibram Henry Rogers in 1982 to middle class parents. Along the way he rebranded himself "Ibram X. Kendi" to better exploit the ascendant "antiracism" movement.

Given the mania following Floyd's death in May 2020, Kendi had little trouble raising money to fund this "collaborative research and education effort across multiple disciplines," the immodest goal of which was "to build a world where racial equity and social justice prevail."

That world didn't quite get built. "After suddenly laying off over half his employees last week and with his center producing almost nothing since its founding," wrote David Decosimo in the Wall Street Journal, "Mr. Kendi is now facing an investigation and harsh criticism from numerous colleagues complaining of financial mismanagement, dysfunctional leadership, and failure to honor obligations attached to its millions in grant money."

With Kendi, Black Lives Matter, and other race hustlers forcing open the eyes of their funders, those funders may want to take a hard look at the incident that forced open their pockets. The media should shine the necessary light.”
