Despite the scandal, Arday received support from leftist institutions and the media, highlighting how his ethnicity and victimhood status-being the youngest Black professor at Cambridge and an immigrant-secured him moral and societal advantages.The piece criticizes how individuals like Arday perpetuate the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >social justice narrative<\/a>, frequently enough benefiting financially and socially through claims of oppression, nonetheless of truth. It emphasizes that this scam exploits minority status for personal gain and criticizes media and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/west-virginia-moves-to-dismiss-effort-to-block-trump-from-ballot\/\" title=\"West Virginia seeks to dismiss attempt to prevent Trump from being on ballot.\">political figures involved<\/a> in defending such figures,exposing a broader pattern of fraudulence within academic and political circles.

(Among my favorites is that he ran 30 marathons in nearly as many days.) <\/p>\n<div id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-2504886274\" class=\"d-flex justify-content-center fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-2 fdrlst__b89e9-entity-placement\">\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-1463670073398-0\" class=\"mb-30\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If Arday weren\u2019t black this would have never made headlines, let alone multiple articles in The New York Times. But he is black \u2014 \u201cthe youngest Black professor at the University of Cambridge in its history,\u201d so get excited \u2014 and rather than seeing him quietly disappear, the leftist institutions that permit and encourage such fraudulence are excusing him and, naturally, accusing the people who notice it of racism.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Arday lost his job, but a major publisher released his memoir Tuesday, and a letter of support for him sports thousands of signatures, including from members of the British Parliament.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is because Arday perpetuates the left\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-losers-of-this-game-are-the-american-people-young-medical-entrepreneur-is-defecting-from-leftist-corporate-america\/\" title=\"\u2018The Losers Of This Game Are The American People...: Young Medical Entrepreneur Is \u2018Defecting... From Leftist Corporate America\">social justice scam<\/a> and he does it in spades. He\u2019s an ethnic minority in a European country, he claims all kinds of oppression and victimhood, and he\u2019s a child of African immigrants (he says). It all bestows on Arday a special kind of moral authority, according to the left. And it doesn\u2019t matter whether he lied. It\u2019s even to his credit that he did. It means he knows what\u2019s expected to advance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">People like Arday exist all throughout Western Europe and the U.S. They\u2019re in academia, the media, Hollywood, and of course Washington. Their professed oppression is their privilege, earning them financial gain, cushy jobs, titles, and accolades. The scam reveals itself most vividly in all the black and brown Democrats who won\u2019t shut up about white supremacy yet are married and shacked up with white men. Don Lemon, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Kamala Harris, and on and on.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If there is any surprise left to this scheme, it\u2019s that anyone still gets away with it. It\u2019s exhausting, destructive, and ultimately incoherent, leaving in its wake just a bunch of exposed frauds like Arday.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\">\n<div
