Boldly Committed to Truth Telling in the False Face of Fakery
The Usual Suspects Claim Gay’s Ouster Was Coordinated Racist Attack. It Doesn’t Go Well.

"Anti-racist" author Ibram X. Kendi, "1619 Project" author Nikole Hannah-Jones, and a number of others claimed that the long-awaited exit of Harvard University President Claudine Gay was a coordinated racist attack - and the backlash was immediate.
Kendi claimed that Gay's ouster - which came on the heels of her disastrous Capitol Hill testimony and multiple accusations of plagiarism impacting more than half of her published academic works - was the result of a "racist mob" eagerly gunning for a black woman in a position of power.
"Racist mobs won't stop until they topple all Black people from positions of power and influence who are not reinforcing the structure of racism. What these racist mobs are doing should be obvious to any reporter who cares about truth or justice as opposed to conflicts and clicks," he said. "Too often mainstream reporters join the racist mob or give it credibility-as they did in this case-just as they did a century ago."
He later cheered The Associated Press, calling it "real journalism" when the outlet identified plagiarism as a "conservative weapon" against academics they did not like.
"This is journalism. Getting closer to what truly happened and why. 'The plagiarism allegations came not from her academic peers but her political foes, led by conservatives who sought to oust Gay and put her career under intense scrutiny in hopes of finding a fatal flaw,'" he said.
The Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro warned the AP, "When grifter extraordinaire Ibram X. Kendi praises your 'journalism,' you should start thinking about another career."
"This is bad journalism and inaccurate; allegations were first made on an academic message board. The latest round of plagiarism discoveries precipitating Gay's firing came from an anonymous academic. The accusations came from her peers. Rufo and Brunet only publicized them," Mark Hemingway pointed out.
"You see, only her peers are allowed to notice she was a serial plagiarist, but her peers would never do that for political reasons, as evidenced by this and other reactions. Therefore, Gay should have been awarded total protection," Red State's Bonchie explained.
"The 1619 Project" author Nikole Hannah-Jones took a slightly veiled approach, claiming that Gay's exit was nothing less than the desired result of a "well-executed plan."
"I love the part of the plan where they went back in time and got Claudine Gay to plagiarize a bunch of s***," @RBpundit posted in response.
"Step 1: Encourage Ph.D. student/prof to plagiarize numerous times; Step 2: Get her hired as Harvard President; Step 3: Have her show contempt for Jewish students' safety in front of Congress; Step 4: Expose all the previously encouraged plagiarism," another laid out the steps of the alleged "plan."
Even self-appointed congressional fire alarm Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) got in on the action, claiming that Gay's ouster was an attempt to intimidate other black men and women who aspired to positions of power.
"This isn't about plagiarism or antisemitism. This is about racism and intimidation. This makes no one safer. The only winners are fascists who bullied a brilliant & historic Black woman into resignation. 2024 will be a battle for truth, democracy and our shared humanity," he said.
Dan McLaughlin summed up the situation: "When Jamaal Bowman sounds the alarm, you know what that means."
Go Back

The words are well leaking out now that Claudine Gay was little more than just another DEI hire; just another Woke Racist; one more who had nothing to add to the real intellectual community of the public conscience.
