 Kendi. Remember Kendi? We talked a lot about Kendi in 2020 during BLM. Kendi, of course, is Ibrahim Solani Kendi. I mean, I didn't realize this, but that's not his real name. His real name is Boring Henry Rogers. But he changed it to Ibrahim Ibrahim Solani Kendi, or Ibrahim X. I guess trying to mimic Malcolm X. Anyway, Kendi, as we all know him, Kendi was, of course, made famous during the BLM riots as the guy who had written the book about anti-racism as the person who basically had declared that basically all whites were racist. It was just implicit in their being white that there was no real way not to be racist if you were white. And if you weren't actively an anti-racist, which meant admitting the fact that you were racist and doing everything to grovel and groveling to kind of undo the racist image. And if you remember, I did a whole show, some of you remember, some of you knew, but I did a whole show on Kendi's book and the whole phenomenon of anti-racism. Anyway, Kendi was rewarded for his, I guess, let's say, brilliance and success in labeling all white people as racist. He was awarded by Boston University and who hired him, he was in Florida at the time, who hired him, and established a center, a center for the study of racism. So it was an anti-racist research center, or actually it was called the Center for Anti-Racist Research. Now remember, anti-racist doesn't mean what the word actually says. Anti-racist doesn't mean being anti-racist. I'm anti-racist, most of you are anti-racist, right? We hate racists. We think racism is barbaric and privative and really horrific. Anti-racist is a racist ideology that basically claims, it's an anti- white racist ideology that claims that all whites are responsible, all whites are racist, and all whites are responsible for the evils of slavery and discrimination in the past, and therefore they should ask for forgiveness and he has a whole political agenda, which is absurd. But he's become famous, right? He started the center, the center for the anti-racist studies. Oh, so Raghav Rakh says, Armenia is apostolic, not orthodox. I have no idea what apostolic means, I'll have to look it up later, but okay, sorry. So they're not orthodox. That would make them one difference between them and the Georgians and the Russians. Oh, I forgot to talk about Russia with forgot Armenia and Azerbaijan. I'll get to that in a minute because it is an important point that should be added. Anyway, Kennedy raised a huge amount of money for the center. He also became hugely successful himself. He has an ESPN series. He has children's books about racist ideas in America. He is a corporate guru kind of trainer that goes in and helps out with DEI and everything else. Huge. Anyway, this last week, Kennedy has announced that he's made the quote, painful decision to reduce the program's size and mission in an effort to guarantee its future. In other words, he's running out of money. In spite of the fact that he raised $55 million, most of that in 2020, he's not able to raise new money and somehow he's burnt through a lot of this money, this other money. He's got real problems. He's fired supposedly about half, about half of his staff. The university itself has announced that it's conducting an inquiry into complaints from staff members, which include questions about the center's management culture and the faculty and staff's experience with it, as well as where the hell did the money go? Or as the New York Times puts it, grant management practices. Of the $55 million, $5 million was raised just this last year, which is a lot of money. And yet, they have to fire half the people and there's an investigation. You know, this whole idea of anti-racist, the idea of DEI, a lot of these ideas, Kendi himself, maybe less, what do you call it, viewed positively as they were a few years ago. He is less of a center of attention. I think the whole BLM phenomena, at least for now, has dissipated. I told you this would happen under Biden, but it's dissipated somewhat. He has been criticized. His work has come under attack not just from conservatives, but also from other liberal academics who find his work distasteful and wrong and arbitrary and racist. And it's much more difficult supposedly for him to raise money in this environment. So he has a problem with expenses. Anyway, the university is looking into it. It'll be interesting to see what they discover and what they find out about the financing. DEI is in the decline. Hiring for DEI position is declined by 20% from its height a couple of years ago. Just the general attitude in the country, I think has shifted on these issues. I think mostly that's good. Some of that might be bad, but mostly it's good. Mostly getting rid of DEI, getting rid of the focus on race. The Supreme Court's recent decision about affirmative action at the universities will have an impact. But generally, the corporate attitudes and other attitudes are changing and Kendi is less sought out, I think, as a guru than he has been in the past. And that is good. I hope the center closes ultimately. The center is a really bad, bad, bad idea. And it'll be interesting to watch to see what happens and whether Kendi survives at this anti-racism center.
