Ibram Kendi has more books in American libraries than CS Lewis For him to complain about his standing as an intellectual is laughable The establishment has installed him in a position to punch 10X above his intellectual weight in cultural influence

Here is the Brooklyn public library they have more copies of one of Kendi's books than they have of all of CS Lewis' books combined Lewis' books are sparse and constantly have multiple holds, even the e-book editions
Keep in mind, this is only 1 of Kendi's books that the BPL has All told, they have paid for hundreds of physical copies of his books, most of which sit sadly on the shelves
Check your local library. Every one I have checked has 2-5X more copies of Kendi books than Lewis, more than Tolkien, more than Sowell. Most of Kendi's money comes from establishment gov't sources shoveling money at him
@politicalmath Government buying copies of his book ( or maybe a NGO or 503.C ) and having a donation setup in place for libraries nationwide to stick 2 or 5 copies on their shelves regardless, or in spite of, demand... I'd be more upset if more than 10% of the population reads books anymore
@politicalmath Let's be honest. He's a narcissist who has fully embraced victim standpoint epistemology. It is a non-falsifiable, self-reinforcing world view. No amount of evidence that he is not the victim of public oppression will dent the wound he suffers when anyone disagrees with him.
