Kerri K. Greenidge is what The New York Times calls a “decorated historian,” which really tells you all you need to know: she’s a DEI hire with a flair for revisionism and anti-Americanism. She’s also apparently very comfortable with taking creative license when it comes time to the historical record, and her profession.

In 2022, Liveright published a book by Greenidge titled, “The Grimkes: The Legacy of Slavery in an American Family,” which won a number of awards, and really catapulted Greenidge into the DEI stratosphere. (The book was on the NYT Book Review list as a top-100 notable book of the year; it won the Joan Kelly Memorial Prize, awarded by the American Historical Association; it was shortlisted for the Ralph Waldo Emerson Award; and it received accolades from Oprah, the Smithsonian, NPR, and the Boston Globe.)
But now, The Grimkes is “under scrutiny by scholars for questionable assertions and sloppy sourcing.” And sure, as Greenidge said, there “probably” are a number of citations that were “misattributed” in the book, but this is nothing more than a vile and racist attack, because the real problem is that she’s a black woman; as Greenidge said, “The attack on Black women academics is real.” I’m going to take a stab at this and say that the issue of credibility is arising because she’s not actually an academic, at least in practice. She’s an AINO, Academic In Name Only. (I may not have a Ph.D myself, but even I know how to cite my sources.)
Myra Glenn, a retired history professor, seemed to be the one to blow Greenidge’s cover, calling the research in the book “deeply flawed” and lacking the “evidence to substantiate many of her [Greenidge’s] major claims.” Glenn also stated that Greenidge’s work is “riddled with factual errors and repeatedly omits needed endnotes.” (That must be why we got the “misattribution” admission from Greenidge.)
The New York Post reported that Liveright removed Greenidge’s author page from their website, the AHA took down her Joan Kelly recognition, and “she seems to have lost her job as a tenured associate professor” at Tufts University. Greenidge apparently doesn’t have any sense of self-preservation though, and instead of quietly receding from the public eye under the shame of academic dishonesty, she’s getting louder, claiming it’s all just “anti-black sentiment.” (Girl, you’re not doing yourself any favors.)

She accused two senior historians on the university’s peer review panel of being ‘hostile toward black women in academia,’ and argued the review process by the school was kicked off by complaints from a white woman scholar.
I can’t verify anything about a “white woman scholar,” but Myra Glenn, the academic who accused Greenidge as far back as 2024, is black herself. And she doesn’t even appear to be a conservative type black, so the political animus motive is now off the table—Glenn was a professor in some sort of women’s history, and wrote a book that, as far as I can tell, is politically progressive.
I recently heard someone discussing the pathology present in the black population, one that’s been fostered by Democrats—perpetual victims of rAcIsM. When will these people realize they’re just participating in a humiliation ritual?
