8 thoughts on “Grift And Counter-Grift”

1. Saw this over the weekend. He got soundly ridiculed for owning himself with his tweet. Of course, Kendi’s response to his critics; racists and illustrating their white privilege.

2. Kendi’s real name is Ibram Henry Rogers.
   His parents were both working professionals. He attended private religious schools and good public high schools.
   Kendi, like Obama, is a race grifter and a poppinjay. His target demographic is middle class and upper middle class white people, so his shtick don’t work on me.

3. Oh, and I predicted the “Native American” thing in SITD comments.
   I suggest everyone — regardless of race — identify as a native American. It really throws gum into the govefrnments racial identity machine.
   –Native American is a nebulous term. It’s not really a race, they don’t have to look a certain way, have a kind of name, have a particular accent, have a particular religion. There is no official body that can pronounce you to be, or not to be, a native American. Sure, there are treaties that specify who is and who is not a member of a particular tribe, but that is a political thing that has nothing to do with ethnicity. Tribes (like the Cherokee) routinely enroll people with no native American ancestors. There are people with 100% native American blood who aren’t enrolled in any tribe.
   If you go with the “one drop” rule, and say that you are native American if you have at least one ancestor born in North America before 1492, how would anyone prove that? Births weren’t routinely recorded outside of Church records until after the Civil War. I’ve seen an old family Bible that lists one of my female ancestors by the name “squaw” (uncapitalized). If you do genetic testing, tens of millions of American have at least one native American ancestor.
   Make them eat their own garbage and they will stop making so much garbage.

   Mine shows no Native American…

   …but some Sub-Saharan African.

   I should apply to grad school…

5. The reasoning is: “If being White gave me a privilege, I wouldn’t throw away that privilege by claiming to be non-White. I did claim to be non-White; therefore, being White must not give me a privilege. On the contrary, claiming to be non-White gives me the privilege.”

   Maybe. Or maybe you’re just too stupid to realize you’ve thrown away your privilege. Maybe you are following the crowd due to peer pressure. Maybe you’re sabotaging yourself because you don’t really want to go to college (you really want to be a welder but your parents are domineering) so you intentionally throw away your privilege to fail the admissions process.

   A better metric would be comparing the grades and test scores of the applicants who claimed to be White versus those who claimed to be Black, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, etc. Who got accepted with worse scores? Who got denied despite better scores?

   But I suspect that’s a discussion race hustlers don’t want to have.

6. You might want to add that the tweet above was deleted when Henry was made aware of how much it revealed his grift.

7. The very best indicator of who has power in a relationship is who can mock whom. In fact, the social purpose of mockery may be to publically demonstrate who has power over whom.
   Anyway, the race obsession of Democrats hasn’t changed in a hundred and fifty years. They want to identify people as races that they define and portion political rights among those races. If you have the power to tell a person that he or she is a member of a particular race that puts you in a higher position than that person. Most nationalist movements founder on those rocks. If you are a native Hawaiian, for example, you aren’t going to give the United States government the power to tell you that you are not a native Hawaiian because their rules say that you are not Hawaiian. The Bureau of Indian Affairs deals with Indian Nations whose members are identified by treaty (lots of treaties), it’s not really a racial thing.

8. Another fake red skin exposed.
   There seems to be a pattern to these things.
   Make yourself physically resemble a person of the imitated race, state that you are black or native American or whatever.
   When you are exposed, state that you were raised by white people, but a grand parent or great grand parent was an Indian or black (this person is conveniently dead and unable to speak for him/her self).
   When it is proven that you are 100% white, claim that you were adopted by a black/Indian person (also now conveniently dead).
   Claim that inherited ethnic identity is a white thing, not an Indian/black thing.

   
   ‘I don’t need to prove something I already know’: Defiant Canadian race faker insists she IS indigenous after being suspended from government job when her SISTER revealed she was white

   Carrie Bourassa, or Morning Star Bear, continued to claim her ties to Indigenous tribes despite research revealing that she is Eastern European
   She has been suspended from her positions at the University of Saskatchewan and the Canadian Institutes of Health Research
   Colleagues had grown suspicious of Bourassa’s genealogy and were triggered to investigate when her sister stopped claiming to be of the Métis tribe
   For years Bourassa claimed her grandfather was Métis but has since changed her story to say she was adopted into the community when she was in her 20s
   She said she has been working with a genealogist to track her roots for two years

   The Canadian professor who claimed to be of Indigenous descent but was outed by her sister and colleagues as being Eastern European and put on leave from her university continues to self-identify as a member of three tribes.

   Carrie Bourassa, the scientific director of the Institute of Indigenous Peoples’ Health for the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, has claimed to be of the Métis, Anishinaabe and Tlingit tribes without ever actually presenting proof, only self-identifying.

   Bourassa, or Morning Star Bear’s, colleagues and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation investigated and failed to find any Indigenous relatives, and her sister, Jody Burnett said Bourassa’s ‘description of our family is inaccurate, not rooted in fact and moreover is irrelevant to the issue of whether or not [she] is Métis.’
