Diversity Day Drama
00:08:22

|
| Hello, I'm Jared Taylor with American Renaissance. | |
| I'd like to talk to you today about name calling, about names like racist and white supremacist. | |
| But first, I'd like to tell you a story. | |
| There's a small liberal arts school called Bard College at Simon Rock. | |
| It's in the tiny Massachusetts town of Great Barrington. | |
| This college, generally known as Simon Rock, loves diversity. | |
| Every fall it puts on what it calls Diversity Day. | |
| Classes are canceled and all students attend seminars where they glorify diversity and they bemoan the terrible, unfair advantages white people have simply because they're white. | |
| Last fall, a 17-year-old freshman noticed something about Simon Rock. | |
| Just as they do on every other American campus, the blacks stick with the blacks, the Asians with the Asians, etc. | |
| And this freshman began to wonder what it is that's so wonderful about diversity after all. | |
| And he thought he might host his own Diversity Day seminar to explore this question. | |
| He ran off some flyers, offering a reward to anyone who could list five benefits of diversity. | |
| Other than ethnic food and music. | |
| He thought he would discuss the best answers in his seminar. | |
| Well, bad mistake. | |
| You see, at Simons Rock, as at all college campuses, you never ask what the benefits of diversity are. | |
| You simply believe in them without even having to know what they are. | |
| This unfortunate freshman asked a simple factual question. | |
| What are the benefits of diversity? | |
| Did he get a factual answer? | |
| No. He got online comments like this. | |
| Go punch him in the gut. | |
| Do we have a flagpole we can duct tape him to, preferably naked? | |
| And I just consider this fucker fresh meat. | |
| One of the people actually mentioned an advantage of diversity when he wrote, quote, Drop him off in some housing project somewhere. | |
| I'd say kick his ass. | |
| Because, you see, one of the great things about diversity is that it means there are neighborhoods conveniently located all around the country where you can dump a young white man and expect him to be beaten up, maybe even killed. | |
| And then, of course, there was the name-calling. | |
| Our freshman was called a white supremacist. | |
| And there was a big push to have him expelled. | |
| It even looked like the school was going to do that until his parents threatened to sue. | |
| So the offender was allowed to stay, and the non-white students were furious. | |
| They issued a statement saying that by failing to expel this horrible person, the administration was, quote, essentially legitimizing white supremacist ideologies on this campus. | |
| Got that? | |
| Legitimizing white supremacist ideologies. | |
| Then, they went on to boycott their own Diversity Day. | |
| They claimed that with all this white supremacist ideology poisoning the air, Diversity Day was just a consolation prize, and that every day should be Diversity Day. | |
| Well, that's campus life for you in our glorious era of, well, of diversity. | |
| But back to this question of white supremacy. | |
| I've been called a white supremacist. | |
| And I confess that I have gone a little further than this Simons Rock freshman. | |
| I have actually said that diversity is bad for America because people of different races often don't get along with each other. | |
| And because if this diversity keeps up, it will make white people a minority. | |
| Probably a hated minority. | |
| In the country that their ancestors built. | |
| But what does that have to do with white supremacy? | |
| Nothing. If you ask what's so great about diversity, or why whites should want to become a minority, or what's wrong with preferring the company and culture of whites, you don't get answers. | |
| You get screamed at. | |
| Our one long, repulsive, ugly scream. | |
| And the reason people call you that is because white supremacist is the most provocative, emotion-laden, dramatic insult liberals can think of. | |
| It's worse than wife-beater or maybe even murderer, which are merely regrettable lapses by comparison. | |
| The idea is to take Jim Crow, lynching, slavery, Police dogs and fire hoses, and hang all of that around your neck. | |
| It's like saying, you may be questioning diversity, but what you really want to do is crack the whip over cowering darkies. | |
| You think I'm exaggerating? | |
| Well, one of the blacks at Simon's Rock said that our wicked freshman was, quote, he would have supported slavery. | |
| Ask a question about diversity and you support slavery. | |
| Now, I've been knocking around the undeceived end of the political spectrum for a long time. | |
| But I've never met a white supremacist. | |
| I've never even heard tell of one. | |
| I've never heard of anyone who wants to rule over people of other races or abuse them in any way. | |
| The people I know just want to be left alone. | |
| It's true that most people with any sense know that whites, on average, are smarter than blacks. | |
| But most people with any sense, including me, also think East Asians, on average, are smarter than whites. | |
| I just don't see how that makes me a white supremacist. | |
| So, first of all, calling someone like me a white supremacist is as wrong as calling someone a Dukakis supporter. | |
| There is no such thing. | |
| But the idea, of course, is not to be rational or accurate or thoughtful or fair-minded or truthful. | |
| The idea is simply to splutter and shriek. | |
| It is the desperate and contemptible way that liberals avoid questions when they don't have answers. | |
| You know what's the funny thing about liberals? | |
| An awful lot of them laugh at religion, especially Christianity. | |
| They think they are so superior to bumpkins who pray to God and go to church. | |
| They're above all that, you see. | |
| But they have a religion, all right. | |
| And they practice it with the same medieval ferocity of inquisitors who burned people at the stake and Muslims who beheaded apostates. | |
| What did those compassionate liberals at Simons Rock want to do with a student who got out of line? | |
| Beat him! | |
| Time to flagpole naked, dump him in the projects, certainly expel him. | |
| Why? He doubted their religion. | |
| Those students are going to grow up to become just like the people who run this country. | |
| They don't debate. | |
| They don't reason. | |
| They just try to silence you and discredit you with wild name-calling. | |
| That is the behavior of people who don't think. | |
| It's the behavior of people who can't think. | |
| They simply believe what they have decided to believe. | |
| So remember this. | |

Ignorant and Vicious

|
| If anyone is so baffled by your questions that he starts calling your names, it's the most graceless way of admitting he's lost the argument. | |
| And if you call you a white supremacist, he could be ignorant or vicious. | |
| But most likely, he's both. | |
