What a misread. He isn't saying he doesn't have a doctorate. He is saying that he is a poor excuse of a academic. That should be obvious.
Kendi is under the impression that anyone who disagrees with him simply hasn't read him carefully. This makes him neither imperious nor a hustler, but naive. "Dr." Ibram is inadequately trained academically, and engaging him requires knowing this going in.https://twitter.com/DrIbram/status/1340274806537789440 …

1) There is really no reason to put Dr. in quote marks unless either you think a doctorate in African American Studies is worth less than other doctorates, or you're trying to get a column in the WSJ. 2) It seems unfair to deduce all this from the mere fact that Kendi would...

He also seemingly believes his word is akin to a holy book. How will he challenge his own ideas if he never examines and defends them? That’s not a thinker.

John you're too nice. Kendi's game is insidious, and it's plainly obvious. He's not open to new ideas or perspectives. CRT is designed to be unfalsifiable. That's how you know it's: 1. Bullshit 2. Mostly a religion
