What is “great replacement theory” and how did it come to be a powerful fuel for right-wing nationalist groups in the United States and around the world?  When white marchers in Charlottesville, Virginia, chanted “You will not replace us,” it was probably the first time most Americans had heard the phrase. But a string of mass shooters around the world—in Oslo and Christchurch, Buffalo, El Paso, and Pittsburgh—all claimed their crimes were a defense against “white genocide.” These incidents only scratch the surface of this ascendant idea: Popular and ruling politicians in every region of the world have been expressing some version of great replacement theory, eroding democratic norms in the name of preventing demographic change and claiming to restore national greatness.  Variations on the theory have been around for centuries, but it was given this name by a French novelist in 2011 who believed Black and Brown immigrants were “invading” Europe, brought there by shadowy elites to “replace” Europe's white population. Politicians and theorists—in the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Chile, Hungary, Australia and elsewhere—repackaged the conspiracy as a story of “globalists” welcoming “migrant criminals” and diversity initiatives to take away the jobs, cultures, electoral power, and the very lives of white people. Over time, great replacement theory has expanded the threatened categories to include citizens, men, Jews, Christians, heterosexuals, and ethnic majorities in various countries. All are targeted with the message that they are under an existential attack that only a strongman can prevent.  Ibram X. Kendi, author of the new book Chain of Ideas, returns to the Club to explore the roots of great replacement theory and its various mutations around the world. He says the controversial theory has brought humanity into this authoritarian age, but we can free ourselves from it. Come find out how. Learn more about your ad choices.

Don sits down with Ibram X. Kendi, renowned author, professor, and leading scholar on race and discriminatory policy in the United States, to discuss his latest book and the ideas shaping this moment. They dive into how “great replacement” theory has been used by authoritarian movements to exploit fear, racism, and division in order to gain and maintain power. From historical context to modern-day politics, the conversation explores how these narratives spread, why they resonate, and the real-world consequences they carry.

Our society seems to be tearing itself apart. One potential culprit is identity politics. But what is identity politics? Sociologist Dr. George Yancey joins to talk about his new book "Identity Politics in the United States: An Exploration of Identity in Red, White, and Blue". He explains the movements' history, what's wrong with it, and what we can do instead.  References and resources: Identity politics definition: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/identity-politics/ Ibram X Kendi on antiracism: https://www.penguin.co.uk/discover/articles/ibram-x-kendi-definition-of-antiracist Mark lila on problems with identity politics: https://www.theguardian.com/media/2017/dec/21/mark-lilla-identity-politics-liberals Review/Summary of Stephen Wolf's Book: https://shenviapologetics.com/of-gods-and-men-a-long-review-of-wolfes-case-for-christian-nationalism-part-i-book-summary/ https://shenviapologetics.com/of-gods-and-men-a-long-review-of-wolfes-case-for-christian-nationalism-part-iii-objections/ Websites The Overthinkers: theoverthinkersjournal.world Nathan Clarkson: nathanclarkson.me Joseph Holmes: linktr.ee/JosephHolmes Dr. George Yancey: www.georgeyancey.com

Historian Ibram X. Kendi says that in order to understand the rise of authoritarianism, we need to understand great replacement theory. It's the racist idea that “powerful elites are enabling peoples of color to steal the lives, livelihoods, cultures and electoral power and freedoms of white people,” Kendi writes in his new book, “Chain of Ideas: The Origins of Our Authoritarian Age.” We talk to the National Book Award-winning author about how politicians are using great replacement theory to justify authoritarian power and how it has moved from the fringes to the mainstream.

More To The Story: Just a few years ago, historian and activist Ibram X. Kendi seemed to be everywhere. At the height of the Black Lives Matter movement, he became one of the leading voices on racism in America—and particularly what he described as antiracism. But over the last few years, as a backlash grew against the BLM movement, Kendi also came under attack. His ideas urging people to be actively antiracist were often the target of conservative critics fighting against DEI policies and the teaching of critical race theory. Kendi was also accused of mismanaging an antiracism center at Boston University, which laid off much of its staff before closing last year (BU cleared Kendi of financial mismanagement.) On this week's More To The Story, Kendi responds to the criticism he faced at BU and argues that the Trump administration's policies are harming both white and Black Americans.This is an update of an episode that originally aired in July 2025.Producer: Josh Sanburn, with help from Zulema Cobb and Julia Haney | Editor: Kara McGuirk-Allison | Theme music: Fernando Arruda and Jim Briggs | Copy editor: Nikki Frick | Digital producer: Artis Curiskis | Deputy executive producer: Taki Telonidis | Executive producer: Brett Myers | Executive editor: James West | Host: Al LetsonListen: Black in the Sunshine State (Reveal)Read: I'm Racist.

Revered by some, vilified by others, Ibram X. Kendi is America's most controversial anti-racism scholar. In this wide-ranging and frank conversation, the bestselling author of How to Be an Anti-Racist discusses his foundational (and republished) 2012 book The Black Campus Movement, drawing parallels between 1960s student activism and today's Gaza protests. Kendi argues critics deliberately misrepresent his work to "make me into this boogeyman" and keep people from engaging with evidence-based scholarship on racism. Despite facing accusations of being a "fraud," Kendi remains committed to his mission, particularly in his upcoming role at Howard University, where he'll direct a new Institute for Advanced Study. Five Key Takeaways * History Repeating: Kendi argues that today's campus protests over Gaza mirror 1960s Black student activism, with opponents using similar talking points to undermine anti-racist efforts on college campuses.* The "Boogeyman" Strategy: Kendi believes his critics deliberately misrepresent his work to make him seem "scary" and keep people from engaging with his evidence-based scholarship on racism, rather than addressing his actual arguments.* Campus Activism Then vs. Now: Key differences between the 1960s and today include the federal government now working to "re-segregate" campuses rather than desegregate them, and the presence of campus police forces that can suppress demonstrations.* Indirect Racism: Kendi argues that modern racism operates indirectly—when people deny that racist policies exist while racial disparities persist, they're implicitly suggesting that Black people are inferior, just without saying it explicitly.* New Chapter at Howard: After facing controversy and criticism, Kendi is moving from Boston University to historically Black Howard University to direct a new Institute for Advanced Study focused on rigorously studying racism.DR. IBRAM X. KENDI is a National Book Award-winning author of seventeen books for adults and children, including eleven New York Times bestsellers. Dr. Kendi is the Andrew W.

A hundred years after the birth of Malcolm X, and in the shadow of a second Trump presidency, Ibram X. Kendi – author of the international bestseller How to Be an Antiracist – returns to the meaning of Malcolm’s legacy in his newest book. What does it reveal about where the US is now, and what still needs to be said about race in America? In this episode: Ibram X Kendi (@ibramxk), Author of Malcolm Lives!

On May 19, 2025, the great American revolutionary Malcolm X would have been 100 years old. Dr. Ibram X Kendi has a new YA book about his life.

The Context of White Supremacy welcomes Racist Suspect Joel Whitney. Classified as a White Man, Whitney is a Brooklyn, NY writer whose work has been featured in The New York Times, The Daily Beast, The Baffler, The Wall Street Journal, Newsweek, and Boston Review to name a few. He's "a former features editor at Al Jazeera America and a founder and former editor-in-chief at Guernica." Gus originally hoped to speak with Whitney about his 2016 publication, Finks: How the CIA Tricked the World's Best Writers. I'm not quite sure what my original motivation was for exploring this text - could have been Rev. Jim Jones and the Peoples Temple or Soundtrack to a Coup d'État. Anyway, by the time we got our calendars synchronized, Mr. Whitney had written another book, Flights: Radicals on the Run. Most of the featured subjects who had to flee oppression are Victims of White Supremacy like: Minister Malcolm X, Paul Robeson, Dr. Angela Davis, and Leonard Peltier - who recently benefited from a commuted sentence from departing President Biden. During the broadcast, Mr. Whitney repeated the tacky refrain that White people are also "held back" by Racism. He could only list two trifling ways that the System of White Supremacy holds him down. Whitney also engaged in another suspicious and common practice amongst Racist Suspects: Citing the work of Ibram X. Kendi, a Victim of White Supremacy, to confuse non-white people about what it means to be classified as White. #LorraineHansberry #FarceOnWashington #TheCOWS16Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

Dr. Ibram X. Kendi, New York Times best-selling author, historian, and thought leader sits down with hosts Angela Rye, Tiffany Cross and Andrew Gillum during a special live broadcast of Native Land Pod from the Congressional Black Caucus Annual Legislative Conference. Dr. Kendi unpacks Trump's persistent racism (and in particular his targeting of Haitian immigrants), placing it into a larger project of Trump's — to criminalize Black people. “When you demean one Black group you demean every Black group,” he says.   Listen to the full broadcasts from the Congressional Black Caucus Foundations 53rd Annual Legislative Conference and all of the Native Land Pod episodes on the podcast feed (wherever you get your podcasts) or watch on the Native Land Pod YouTube page.   As always, we want to hear from you.

In this episode, the girlx/womxn are slightly late to the party in discussing a long piece on Ibram Kendi's implosion, courageously subverting their audience's expectations in order to side, at least sympathize, with the BIPOC man. Was Kendi set up to fail? Did white people set him up to fail? Is this a (very meta) manifestation of the very white supremacy that the Center for Anti-Racist Research was set up to combat? (Yes, yes, and naturally). They then move on to narcissism in the Instagram-girl world. Is it just normal to treat every waking moment of your life like a scene from a movie? Is "boyfriend" just another word for key grip? Finally, a discussion on short hair on women--is it sexy and subversive, or just another way of turning into your mom?A Special Place In Hell is a reader-supported publication, as we have yet to find our billionaire benefactor/sugar momala.

Dr. Andre Archie, author of The Virtue of Color-Blindness, joins us to discuss how the concept of race has been weaponized to demonize certain ethnicities while uplifting others in an ill-conceived effort to correct past discriminations, the evolution of racial ideology in America from slavery to the present day, and whether or not the notion of "systemic racism" is indeed pervasive throughout society. - - -  Today's Sponsor: Beam - Get 40% off for a limited time!

First, he's dissecting the embarrassing Nazi celebration in Canada: the Orwellian push to have it erased from history, Trudeau's fake apology, and the despicable claims that Zelensky, who speaks English and understands Ukrainian history, didn't know that he was saluting a Nazi soldier. “When he [Zelensky] raised his hand,” Norman explains, “this Jew as we're constantly told, he was lending himself to the Nazi cause.” Next, Norman's talking about presidential candidate and celebrated leftist Cornel West. Norm explains he hadn't read any of West's books until this month when he prepped for an interview with the candidate. “I was dazzled,” Norm says. “He's better than me!” The interview, which drops soon on Norman Finkelstein's Podcast, will be a three-hour wide-ranging intellectual conversation. Norm gives us a preview. Subscribe (before prices rise on Oct 1!) to hear our full 90-minute interview where Norm shares his take on Cornel West's candidacy, and we get into a long debate about Norm's favorite pseudo-intellectual millionaire Ibram X Kendi.

Financial mismanagement at BU is just the tip of the iceberg as Finkelstein applies his close reading of Kendi's work to the current crisis. As interesting as “what's going on” is the question of how did Kendi even get to a place where he was considered a leading scholar? Does his scholarship have anything to offer? And is “Wokeness” at the root of this? Subscribe to Bad Faith on YouTube for video of this episode. Find Bad Faith on Twitter (@badfaithpod) and Instagram (@badfaithpod). Produced by Armand Aviram.

Today on the Matt Walsh Show, things are falling apart for the race grifter now known as "Ibram X Kendi." He's just the latest anti-racist con artist to be exposed in recent years. Is the anti-racist scam falling apart? We'll discuss. Also, John Fetterman cries over being bullied for his disability. Inmates claim cruel and unusual punishment when they are forced to work in the fields rather than sitting in a cell all day. And a Daily Show clip goes viral where Trevor Noah tries every so cautiously to push back against a babbling trans activist. Ep.1228 - - -  Click here to join the member exclusive portion of my show: https://utm.io/ueSEm   - - -  DailyWire+: Want to work at The Daily Wire?
