Professional race hustler Ibram X. Kendi has an impressive record of popping off with asinine takes but he may have outdone himself with his latest on what’s at stake in the Supreme Court’s review of Colorado’s booting of former President Donald J. Trump off the ballot.
On Friday, Kendi claimed that if Trump is permitted to remain on ballots it would be proof that, despite its battlefield defeat, the Confederacy really won the Civil War over a century and a half after it ended.
The Critical Race Theory ideologue who’s been a driving force behind corporate America and academia’s embrace of the virulent strain of anti-white racism that has swept through the nation’s institutions like a ravenous form of cancer, took to X to share his ridiculous but incendiary argument, complete with an image of a January 6 protester toting a rebel flag inside of the U.S. Capitol.
If the SCOTUS refuses to disqualify Donald Trump from running for POTUS after leading an insurrection on January 6, 2021, then it will be the latest indication that the Confederates lost the military battles but won the legal war. 1/4 pic.twitter.com/QTrz5AAYrB

“If the SCOTUS refuses to disqualify Donald Trump from running for POTUS after leading an insurrection on January 6, 2021, then it will be the latest indication that the Confederates lost the military battles but won the legal war,” proclaimed the author of “How to Be an Antiracist,” the “Mein Kampf” for the white-hating “woke” movement.
“The 14th Amendment, adopted in 1868, disqualifies from holding office former government officials who engaged in an insurrection against the U.S.,” Kendi added, promoting the dubious legal theory about the bastardization of the archaic Reconstruction-era provision. ‘But as a neo-Confederate declared around that time during the war against Reconstruction, the 14th and 15th Amendments “may stand forever; but we intend. . .to make them dead letters.’”

“They are still executing these Amendments, now in black robes, polo shirts, and blue suits, while calling themselves ‘patriots,’” added the best-selling racial arsonist.

Kendi’s fellow X users had their own takes on the matter and didn’t hold anything back.

Democrats (Confederates) lost the Civil War and because of their hatred of blacks and Republicans, they have been abusing the 14th Amendment ever since.
Sadly, here is a black man leading the charge for the former party of slavery in his misapplication of the 14th Amendment.

You call yourself a ‘scholar’ and anti-racist, but no one is buying it. You’re far from being a scholar and you are as racist as they come.

Usually you have to have a insurrection to have a leader of a insurrection

I use the term “intellectual” loosely in this case.

The term “confederate” has been percolating up recently as a rhetorical escalation against conservatives, especially Trump supporters, as Joe Biden and his party of political insurrectionists are prepared to further demonize tens of millions of Americans whom they disagree with.
