Ibram Kendi Says Opposition to Critical Race Theory is ‘Second Assassination’ of MLK

“These self-professed admirers of King are digging a new grave, and burying King’s body of work within it”

It’s bizarre that Kendi would say this because Critical Race Theory flies in the face of everything MLK said and stood for.

The College Fix reports:

Anti-racism guru claims opposition to critical race theory is ‘second assassination’ of MLK

In the hyperbole stakes, there may be no greater opponent that a progressive racialist with a firm agenda.

Ibram X. Kendi, the hugely popular anti-racism guru whose book titled (appropriately enough) “How to Be an Antiracist” is required reading among college students and K-12 educators across the country, now has declared that opposition to critical race theory is “the second assassination of Martin Luther King Jr.”

This is because anti-CRT folks dare to use the venerated civil rights icon as a means to get across their message. For example, GOP U.S. Senate candidate Josh Mandel recently told a crowd “What the liberals are doing by advancing the cause of critical race theory—they are stomping on the grave of Martin Luther King.”

Folks like Mandel always focus on King’s iconic line that one day his “grandkids would be judged not by the color of their skin but by the content of their character,” Kendi complains.

“The sniper shots aimed at King’s body of work sound this way almost every time,” Kendi says. “These self-professed admirers of King are digging a new grave, and burying King’s body of work within it […] they disregard the lines before and after it, when King lamented that his dream was being thwarted by ‘vicious racists’ in places ‘sweltering with the heat of oppression.’”

Kendi is grossly ignorant of history and of MLK’s dream of a colorblind society.

HOW DARE the actual “second assassin of MLK” blame those of us who marched with him.

“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”

This is in opposition to every single thing Fraud Kendi stands for.

He is getting rich peddling divisive pablum and will say anything to keep the money flowing from guilty white libs and their government agents.

“Contributor”.

Contributes nothing but division, victimhood, animosity, and prejudice.

This Kendi person has obviously never listened to any speech MLK ever made or he would know better.

There is another class of coloured people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs – partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs.
