Ackman Attacks Harvard’s President with his anti-Black Racist Rhetoric
Bill Ackman pulled the old-fashioned racist trump card a few weeks ago. “I learned from someone with first-person knowledge of the Harvard president search that the committee would not consider a candidate who did not meet the DEI office’s criteria,” he wrote on X last Thursday. Oh yes, Ackman is an anti-Black racist! He of all people knows that this is a racist trope but that’s the entire point. He put this out in the universe to harm Mrs. Gay. This accusation coupled with his public support of Vivek-the Bigot, Rittenhouse, and silence during the George Floyd uprisings provides evidence of an entitled, self-serving, spoiled brat.
Ackman owes all his success in finance to the sole fact of his race and gender – full stop! This centuries-old, white supremacist garbage that they always say when you are not doing their bidding is nothing more than projection. Oh, and just like white supremacists, who are evil, devious people, Ackman tries to conflate McCarthyism with the DEI movement. He tweeted, “I don’t think it will be long before we look back on the last few years of free speech suppression and the repeated career-ending accusations of racism for those who questioned the DEI movement. “We are shortly going to realize that the DEI era is the McCarthy era Part II”. Of course, he has been accused of McCarthy-type rhetoric by implying that companies should not hire Havard college students who were exercising their First Amendment rights.
A new fan of Ackman is Ron DeSantis’s personal Joseph Goebbels – Chris Rufo. Rufo has been referencing the financier on X. You know you have become an honorary racist when this guy mentions your name. In a previous article, we discussed how Ackman referenced suspected White Supremacist Douglas Murray in a tweet. Murray, Jordan Peterson, Rufo, and others use the same playbook. They create phony hysteria over anything that can make white people feel uncomfortable, and more specifically, scared. They use words like Western civilization, which to people who think like them means white. Why is a hedge fund manager emboldened to go after university presidents with no care of financial consequences?
First, it’s easy to go after the poorest people on the planet, because currently, we don’t have a punishment mechanism in place for this type of oppressive behavior. Yes, Black people’s money is a small part of his portfolio. A portfolio that pays him and other frat boys on Wall Street hefty annual fees and profits. Most of the board members of these pension funds who make allocation decisions don’t look like us and are also racist too. These are the type of people we are up against. A very motivated, organized, well-financed white supremacist engine. Ackman is no different than the good-ole boys down south who will pull the race card in a heartbeat if you don’t do their bidding.
Secondly, the white corporate media did not push back on him about this racist tactic. They barely touched the subject. The business channels, not CNN, not MSNBC, none of them. The only people and platforms that called him out were Black. In particular, the new Black media. You see, in the business world, like everything under a system of white supremacy, the media manufactures winners and losers (Donald Trump and Richard Branson). The white corporate media helps them enhance their perceived strengths and downplay or ignore their weaknesses. They’re an extension of the white supremacist socio-economic engine and support the continued 500-year-old strategy of imposing their will on the world.
Lastly, Black people – the grassroots, will impose consequences on these corrupt bullies. At this late date, as a collective, we don’t see the Black so-called leadership class being vocal about this effort to set back the progress made since 2020. We can call these punks out and get to work on putting pressure on the corporations and institutions that do business with them. We can start by making some noise. Who are the vendors who do business with these racists? Is your money and employer connected to one of their funds or companies? These racists didn’t get the memo: the best stock to short is THEM.
