Harvard President Claudine Gay is engulfed in scandals of her own making as she defiantly digs in amid calls for her resignation, and now her defenders are coming out swinging.
One of those lashing out was Derrick Johnson, the president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), the once esteemed organization that like so many others, has strayed far from its original purpose to become just another attack dog for the political left.
Johnson raged against critics of Gay who in addition to presiding over a campus teeming with antisemites, has been accused of multiple incidents of plagiarism, taking to social media to play the race card, a tactic that he specializes in.
“Enough is enough. @Harvard President Claudine Gay is a distinguished scholar and professor with decades of service in higher education. The recent attacks on her leadership are nothing more than political theatrics advancing a white supremacist agenda,” he said earlier this week, invoking the phantom of white supremacy which is largely a figment of the “woke” left’s overly active imagination.

“The @NAACP is proud to stand alongside the Harvard Corporation and more than 700 Harvard faculty members who have expressed support for President Gay’s historic leadership,” he added, placing his organization firmly in alignment with an enabler of Jew-hatred as well as an alleged serial plagiarizer.
But X users weren’t having it, revoking Johnson’s race card which has been so overused by leftists to bully critics into submission that it is rapidly losing its potency.
This is not only a lie, but it’s incredibly demeaning to racial minorities to suggest that upholding basic standards of academic integrity is some sort of “white supremacist” plot. You should be ashamed of yourself. Colorblind equality is the only way forward for our nation.

When in doubt, pull the race card out!

Criticizing a university president for her failure to unilaterally condemn the genocide of Jews isn’t “white supremacy.”
It’s called doing the right thing.
Shame on the NAACP for promoting antisemitism and antiwhiteism.

She’s a flaming racist anti-semite
— Vince Langman (@LangmanVince) December 13, 2023
so, because she’s Black she can’t be criticized for what she says? Is that your point?

Noticing plagiarism is white supremacy.

lol. Do you think that by reaching for the race card you can silence legitimate criticism? The woman refused to categorically condemn calls for genocide of Jews. If she had done the same re: slavery, would there be any question about whether she should be fired? Get real.

Founded in 1909 by iconic black Americans including W.E.B. Du Bois and Ida B. Wells at a time of very real racism and danger to people of color, the NAACP has strayed far from its initial work and purpose and, like so many other corrupted civil rights institutions, the ACLU included, has become a hollowed out shell of itself that effectively functions as an arm of the morally bankrupt Democratic Party.
