=== Diversity Day Drama (08:22) ===

[00:00:04]  Hello, I'm Jared Taylor with American Renaissance.
[00:00:08]  I'd like to talk to you today about name calling, about names like racist and white supremacist.
[00:00:15]  But first, I'd like to tell you a story.
[00:00:19]  There's a small liberal arts school called Bard College at Simon Rock.
[00:00:25]  It's in the tiny Massachusetts town of Great Barrington.
[00:00:29]  This college, generally known as Simon Rock, loves diversity.
[00:00:35]  Every fall it puts on what it calls Diversity Day.
[00:00:39]  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.
[00:00:53]  Last fall, a 17-year-old freshman noticed something about Simon Rock.
[00:00:59]  Just as they do on every other American campus, the blacks stick with the blacks, the Asians with the Asians, etc.
[00:01:08]  And this freshman began to wonder what it is that's so wonderful about diversity after all.
[00:01:13]  And he thought he might host his own Diversity Day seminar to explore this question.
[00:01:20]  He ran off some flyers, offering a reward to anyone who could list five benefits of diversity.
[00:01:27]  Other than ethnic food and music.
[00:01:30]  He thought he would discuss the best answers in his seminar.
[00:01:35]  Well, bad mistake.
[00:01:38]  You see, at Simons Rock, as at all college campuses, you never ask what the benefits of diversity are.
[00:01:46]  You simply believe in them without even having to know what they are.
[00:01:52]  This unfortunate freshman asked a simple factual question.
[00:01:57]  What are the benefits of diversity?
[00:01:59]  Did he get a factual answer?
[00:02:01]  No. He got online comments like this.
[00:02:06]  Go punch him in the gut.
[00:02:09]  Do we have a flagpole we can duct tape him to, preferably naked?
[00:02:14]  And I just consider this fucker fresh meat.
[00:02:20]  One of the people actually mentioned an advantage of diversity when he wrote, quote, Drop him off in some housing project somewhere.
[00:02:29]  I'd say kick his ass.
[00:02:31]  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.
[00:02:47]  And then, of course, there was the name-calling.
[00:02:51]  Our freshman was called a white supremacist.
[00:02:54]  And there was a big push to have him expelled.
[00:02:58]  It even looked like the school was going to do that until his parents threatened to sue.
[00:03:05]  So the offender was allowed to stay, and the non-white students were furious.
[00:03:10]  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.
[00:03:23]  Got that?
[00:03:24]  Legitimizing white supremacist ideologies.
[00:03:28]  Then, they went on to boycott their own Diversity Day.
[00:03:32]  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.
[00:03:45]  Well, that's campus life for you in our glorious era of, well, of diversity.
[00:03:53]  But back to this question of white supremacy.
[00:03:56]  I've been called a white supremacist.
[00:03:59]  And I confess that I have gone a little further than this Simons Rock freshman.
[00:04:04]  I have actually said that diversity is bad for America because people of different races often don't get along with each other.
[00:04:12]  And because if this diversity keeps up, it will make white people a minority.
[00:04:17]  Probably a hated minority.
[00:04:20]  In the country that their ancestors built.
[00:04:24]  But what does that have to do with white supremacy?
[00:04:27]  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.
[00:04:41]  You get screamed at.
[00:04:46]  Our one long, repulsive, ugly scream.
[00:04:52]  And the reason people call you that is because white supremacist is the most provocative, emotion-laden, dramatic insult liberals can think of.
[00:05:02]  It's worse than wife-beater or maybe even murderer, which are merely regrettable lapses by comparison.
[00:05:11]  The idea is to take Jim Crow, lynching, slavery, Police dogs and fire hoses, and hang all of that around your neck.
[00:05:23]  It's like saying, you may be questioning diversity, but what you really want to do is crack the whip over cowering darkies.
[00:05:31]  You think I'm exaggerating?
[00:05:33]  Well, one of the blacks at Simon's Rock said that our wicked freshman was, quote, he would have supported slavery.
[00:05:43]  Ask a question about diversity and you support slavery.
[00:05:47]  Now, I've been knocking around the undeceived end of the political spectrum for a long time.
[00:05:54]  But I've never met a white supremacist.
[00:05:57]  I've never even heard tell of one.
[00:06:00]  I've never heard of anyone who wants to rule over people of other races or abuse them in any way.
[00:06:06]  The people I know just want to be left alone.
[00:06:11]  It's true that most people with any sense know that whites, on average, are smarter than blacks.
[00:06:17]  But most people with any sense, including me, also think East Asians, on average, are smarter than whites.
[00:06:25]  I just don't see how that makes me a white supremacist.
[00:06:30]  So, first of all, calling someone like me a white supremacist is as wrong as calling someone a Dukakis supporter.
[00:06:38]  There is no such thing.
[00:06:40]  But the idea, of course, is not to be rational or accurate or thoughtful or fair-minded or truthful.
[00:06:47]  The idea is simply to splutter and shriek.
[00:06:51]  It is the desperate and contemptible way that liberals avoid questions when they don't have answers.
[00:06:59]  You know what's the funny thing about liberals?
[00:07:01]  An awful lot of them laugh at religion, especially Christianity.
[00:07:06]  They think they are so superior to bumpkins who pray to God and go to church.
[00:07:12]  They're above all that, you see.
[00:07:15]  But they have a religion, all right.
[00:07:17]  And they practice it with the same medieval ferocity of inquisitors who burned people at the stake and Muslims who beheaded apostates.
[00:07:27]  What did those compassionate liberals at Simons Rock want to do with a student who got out of line?
[00:07:33]  Beat him!
[00:07:34]  Time to flagpole naked, dump him in the projects, certainly expel him.
[00:07:41]  Why? He doubted their religion.
[00:07:45]  Those students are going to grow up to become just like the people who run this country.
[00:07:50]  They don't debate.
[00:07:52]  They don't reason.
[00:07:53]  They just try to silence you and discredit you with wild name-calling.
[00:07:58]  That is the behavior of people who don't think.
[00:08:02]  It's the behavior of people who can't think.
[00:08:05]  They simply believe what they have decided to believe.
[00:08:09]  So remember this.

=== Ignorant and Vicious (00:17) ===

[00:08:11]  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.
[00:08:21]  And if you call you a white supremacist, he could be ignorant or vicious.
[00:08:26]  But most likely, he's both.
