Claudine Gay’s resignation as president of Harvard University, just six months into her tenure, sparked strong reactions on social media.

Woke activists and Critical Race Theory proponents, including Ibram X.

Kendi, viewed her resignation as a result of “structural racism,” calling for the next president to be a Black woman. (Trending: Fauci’s Ex-Boss Admits The Truth About COVID)

Ibram X. Kendi wrote, “Racist mobs won’t stop until they topple all Black people from positions of power and influence who are not reinforcing the structure of racism. What these racist mobs are doing should be obvious to any reporter who cares about truth or justice as opposed to conflicts and clicks.”

Former Huffington Post reporter Marc Lamont Hill said, “The next president of Harvard University MUST be a Black woman.”

They accused “racist mobs” of targeting Black individuals in positions of power.

Daily Beast columnist Wajahat Ali said, “Chris Rufo and bad faith right wing actors win again.”

The resignation came after accusations of plagiarism and a controversial testimony on antisemitism.

The reaction on social media highlighted the ongoing debate around racial representation and affirmative action.

Former ESPN reporter Jemele Hill posted, “When white people are hired in any position, the automatic assumption is they were the best person.”

“When Black people are hired, it’s assumed we got there because of affirmative action — which by the way doesn’t mean under-qualified. If affirmative action never existed, a lot of white people would still believe deeply in their own superiority because that is what they’ve been taught,” she continued.

“Considering there have been 30 presidents at Harvard and Claudine Gay was the only Black one in history, she had to be extremely qualified to even be in that position,” added the former ESPN reporter.
