Boston University professor is urged to resign for calling Amy Coney Barrett a 'white colonizer' who is using her two adopted Haitian children as 'props'

UK Daily Mail  "A Boston University professor is being urged to resign after saying Supreme Court nominee Judge Amy Coney Barrett was a racist ‘white colonizer’ for adopting two black children from Haiti and using them as ‘props’. " ‘Some White colonizers “adopted” Black children,’ Kendi wrote on Twitter. ‘They “civilized” these “savage” children in the “superior” ways of White people, while using them as props in their lifelong pictures of denial, while cutting the biological parents of these children out of the picture of humanity.’ " . . .
"The charge was leveled at Judge Barrett - a devout Catholic who has five biological and two adopted children - on Saturday by Ibram X. Kendi, a professor of history and the director and founder of Boston University's Center for Antiracist Research.
"As sad as it is, dividing people along racial lines, promoting discord for dollars, and dedicating your professional existence to grievance mongering is an extraordinarily lucrative business. Just ask America’s latest racism expert, Dr. Ibram X. Kendi, whose nonsensical suppositions (like: there are no non-racist beliefs, only racist and anti-racist ones) have landed him large checks from guilt-ridden white liberals in media:" . . . 


The ResurgentIbram X. Kendi’s Gross Take on the “Racism” of Interracial   Adoption  "Race-hustling is still race-hustling even if it comes with a PhD and the air of sophistication." . . .

"Another Twitter user wrote: ‘You should show us where in our society some non-Racism has been achieved so at least we have something to move forward toward. 

" ‘Instead you give us racism as the fundamental element of all human interaction in our society while you enjoy success at the pinnacle of the status quo.’

"Podcaster Katie Herzog tweeted: ‘My first act as an anti-racist will be sending my black son back to the orphanage.’ 

"Journalist Glenn Greenwald, who is an adoptive parent of children of color, tweeted: ‘Adoption is one of the most beautiful things that exists in the world, and while - like everything, including biological families - it can foster abuse, casually insinuating that for adoptive parents is despicable.’ "
