Boston University’s controversial “antiracist” professor, Ibram X. Kendi, has bluntly branded Republicans “the party of white supremacy.”
The “How to Be an Antiracist” author insisted in an op-ed for The Atlantic that the GOP has used “dog whistles” to brand itself as the “party of parents,” dismissing that as a “myth, a great myth.”
“The foundational assumption of this great myth is that Republican politicians care about white children,” claimed Kendi, who runs Boston University’s Center for Antiracist Research.
“But if they did, then they would not be ignoring or downplaying or defending or bolstering the principal racial threat facing white youth today” — that of “white children being indoctrinated” into white supremacy online, “causing them to hate,” he wrote in Saturday’s op-ed.
Kendi described white supremacist ideology as “the toxic blend of racist, sexist, ableist, homophobic, transphobic, Islamophobic, xenophobic, and anti-Semitic ideas that is harmful to all minds.”
“Which group is the prime target of white supremacists? White youth,” he wrote.
The woke professor then plugged his upcoming book, “How to Raise an Antiracist,” while insisting that such anti-racist education “protects white children — all children — against the growing threat of white supremacists.”

“The GOP crusade against antiracist education has left impressionable white kids unprotected from the threat of white supremacists sliding into their feeds, chat rooms, games, DMs — into their minds,” he said.
“And Republican politicians are doing all of this while insisting that they care about white children, while dog-whistling that they are the party of white parents.”

“This Republican Party is not the party of any group of parents, but the party of white supremacy,” he concluded.
