Ibram X. Kendi

The first thing I did after reading this article (& posting it here), was to buy a copy of "How to be an Anti-Racist," by Ibram X Kendi. If the regime doesn't want you to read, view, or listen, then it is our duty to read, view or listen.

They want to suppress forward motion. DON'T LET THEM.

Reading @ibramxk.bsky.social 's book and i work in the area he grew up in Queens. Antiracist work today is the same as in the past because racism never went away.

Ibram X. Kendi - How To Be An Antiracist (Hardcover) Antiracism is a transformative concept that reorients and reenergizes the conversation about racism—and, even more fundamentally, points us toward liberating new ways of thinking about ourselves and e...

More than ever, America needs to be listening to and amplifying black voices, following black leaders, and reading black authors. If you aren’t 100% sure what the word “Antiracist” means, you must read this book by @ibramxk.bsky.social

Smithsonian artists and scholars respond to White House list of objectionable art — NPR A page published by the White House entitled

“I could see this White House not wanting their supporters to take my work seriously, because I think if they did, they wouldn't take the White House seriously.” - Ibram X. Kendi, author of the book How to be An Antiracist

The Trump regime is trying to silence @ibramxk.bsky.social for being truthful about America's history of slavery and racism. You know what that means: Time to buy and read every one of Kendi's books.

It linked to a Smithsonian page on “Being Antiracist” stating “race does not biologically exist” and “we must commit to making unbiased choices” and “no is born racist or antiracist.” So Trump considers these points to be untruthful and insane.

President Trump Is Right About the Smithsonian The National Museum of African American History and Culture debuted a series to educate people on “a society that privileges white people and whiteness” —

The White House listed Smithsonian materials it found objectionable. The first: a series on “white dominant culture” that “featured content from hardcore work activist Ibram X. Kendi.” As a scholar, I don’t use the concept of “white dominant culture.”

. . .just as pro-slavery politicians ordered federal agents to kidnap runaways and force them into the prisons of slavery. And these pro-slavery politicians defended slavery by arguing it was not that bad; it was “a good, a positive good.”

I am not surprised that this president would insinuate that slavery was not that bad. After all, this is the same president who ordered federal agents to kidnap residents and force them into prisons. . .

Here’s the cover story.

Fitting headline. I can’t tell you the number of times Howard alumni, students, and new colleagues welcomed me home since we announced in January I was coming to the Mecca. 🙏🏾

I joined the HU faculty a few days ago. Honored to be featured in Diverse’s HBCU issue.

The recent U.S. bombing of Iran appears to be part and parcel of a larger colonial project under the Trump administration. 🖊️ @chandelis.bsky.social @domesticpolichick.bsky.social @ibramxk.bsky.social

Frederick Douglass' anti-slavery speech remains relevant The abolitionist’s fiery message for America still resonates.

“This Fourth of July is yours, not mine. You may rejoice, I must mourn.”

Take a moment to read an abridged version of one of the greatest speeches in history. “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July” by Frederick Douglass on July 5, 1852 in @theemancipator.org.

Malcolm Lives by Dr Ibram X Kendi

Listening to the audiobook Malcolm Lives! By Dr. Ibram X Kendi…

He writes Marcus Garvey was deported!!

Every other book I read said Marcus Garvey just dipped…

History really gets rewritten by YT authors 🤦🏻‍♀️😡

Thank goodness for scholars like Dr. Ibram X Kendi, teaching us the real history 💕

There are scholars who are envious of the spread of my work, showing their inherent opportunism as they decry me as an opportunist. When people don’t offer substantive critiques, it’s usually a sign of envy. And envious attacks on Black success is one of the most insidious manifestations of racism.

Malcolm X’s fearlessness lives Every day, Americans are carrying on Malcolm’s fearlessness.

On July 4th, some Americans feel free (to oppress and exploit). Others feel fearful within Trump’s state of fear. Others are fearlessly resisting, like Malcolm X. Malcolm’s fearlessness lives in our resistance. What I’m celebrating. My latest @TheEmancipator.org.

Opinion | Trump’s Attacks on Black History Betray America

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com

“Racist Americans have murdered Black lives and tried to murder Black afterlives, Black stories and Black history,” Ibram X. Kendi writes. So when Black people die, “what we contributed, what we changed, what we documented dies, too. No funeral. Just gone from memory.”

Ayman Odeh is a member of the Knesset, Israel’s parliament. He leads the Arab-Jewish Hadash party and often quotes MLK Jr. Odeh was forcefully removed from the podium in Israeli’s parliament when he criticised Israel’s war on Gaza and the rising deaths of Palestinians.

FAMU is OUR Yard. Not theirs to sell out.

While Ono has been a president for the 13 years, Johnson is a lobbyist who serves the GOP on boards. With no experience working in higher ed or presiding over any institution, she wants a salary nearly double that of the last president.

FAMU Foundation Board meets today @ 2 to discuss her package.

The University of Michigan president Santa Ono smeared diversity, equity, and inclusion programs to get this job. But he is qualified. I can’t say the same about Marva Johnson, selected to be next president of Florida A&M University, the top public HBCU.
