Aug 11, 2024 ~ Even though SCOTUS made it clear that racial discrimination is illegal, leftists remain determined to continue doing it as it is one of their core values. University of California, Berkeley School of Law dean Erwin Chemerinsky was caught on video telling students how he evades the ban on racial preferences in hiring. "I’ll give you an example from our law school, but if ever I’m deposed, I’m going to deny I said this to you. When we do faculty hiring, we’re quite conscious that diversity is important... Anytime somebody says, ‘We should really prefer this candidate or this candidate because this person would add diversity.’ Don’t say that. You can think it, you can vote it, but our discussions are not privileged, so don’t ever articulate that that’s what you’re doing." Lovely. So its business as usual, but keep it on the down low and lie about it if you're ever deposed. [Affirmative Action, College, CRT DIE Wokeness, Loathsome Left, SCOTUS]

Nonsese. Harris is the textbook definition of a DEI hire. A DEI hire is when you decide the race and/or gender of the candidate pool for a position before considering candidates. That is exactly how Biden filled the VP position. He pre-decided it would be a black woman and then looked for candidates that met those constraints.

Manager bonuses would be tied to how much 'diversity' (i.e. non-white) they created with hiring and promotions. [Affirmative Action, CRT DIE Wokeness, Racism]
Jun 9, 2024 ~ 'White Men Deserve Gratitude, Not Demonization'
"Men tend to do most of the physically demanding and dangerous jobs everywhere. This is not a privilege that men have but rather a responsibility they carry. The takeaway from this shouldn’t be that we need more women doing these jobs. It’s that men (and white men in particular, historically) have had a unique and essential role in building and maintaining our civilization. We would not have this civilization without them.
Rather than this constant drumbeat of scolding and lecturing and guilt and resentment — and treating the presence of this group as a problem that must be solved or a cancer that must be treated — the appropriate attitude is one of appreciation and gratitude. Men built every building you’ve ever been in, every bridge you’ve ever crossed, every road you’ve ever driven on."
"White men have been uniquely indispensable contributors to western civilization. Most modern technology was invented by white men. Most of the great discoveries were made by white men. Most of our wars were fought and won predominately by white men. Most of the advances in medicine and science have been achieved by white men. Most of the great leaders, artists, thinkers, and philosophers in western history have been white men. And yet this is the one group most demonized — most hated for the sin of providing us with so much of what we value. A sane society would be finding ways to get this group more involved in things, given its incredible track record. Instead we go the other way."
"Even if racial discrimination were somehow profitable, that still wouldn’t justify it. And it’s pretty remarkable that a sitting member of Congress would imply otherwise... Her goal, and the goal of her party, isn’t simply to erase white men from history. Their goal is to erase white men from the workforce, as punishment for doing everything so well, for so long."

Apparently, employers are often so desperate to be seen ‘doing the right thing’ that they rush into initiatives that don’t even work on their own terms." "EDI schemes often end up being discriminatory and exclusionary, rather than empowering or inclusive. The report notes that some employers have even inadvertently broken the law in pursuit of a more diverse workforce. So-called positive discrimination is relatively common, even though this is illegal under the Equality Act 2010." "Data suggest that EDI training has not reduced discrimination claims against employers, but has actually increased them." [Affirmative Action, CRT DIE Wokeness, Fake Racism, Racism]
Feb 25, 2024 ~ Yale, Dartmouth and other woke schools are reluctantly re-instating the SAT test after formerly deciding that the test was 'racist' and anti-DIE because all the races didn't do exactly the same.

Anonymously, of course. If these emails are connected to anyone's public identity, they would literally never work again." "These correspondences paint a picture of an industry where fear of speaking out could result in one being "blacklisted" as problematic. You must adhere to this new ideology or face the prospect of unemployment forever. A phrase we heard over and over again is this: "male and pale is stale." If one were to reword this statement another way, it may result in accusations of racism. But this view is widely accepted all over Hollywood. Like a mantra, "male and pale is stale" is driving the types of films and TV shows that get made." "now, white guys are lucky to account for even 20% of a room. If that."

Jan 14, 2024 ~ John Sexton, 'NY Times: SATs Aren't Racist and Universities Should Use Them' SAT "scores were better than high school grades at predicting student success in the system’s nine colleges, where more than 230,000 undergraduates are enrolled. The relative advantage of test scores has grown over time, the committee found. 'Test scores have vastly more predictive power than is commonly understood in the popular debate,' said John Friedman, an economics professor at Brown and one of the authors of the Ivy Plus admissions study." The real reason so many universities have ditched the test is to allow them to discriminate on race and avoid revealing how much they are doing so. But now they no longer have the ability to find the best students even within demographics, making their diplomas even more worthless and untrustworthy than they have been.

Jan 4, 2024 ~ Claudine Gay has resigned as president of Harvard after even more examples of plagiarism were uncovered (now near 50). Gay was under previous pressure to resign after refusing to say it violated Harvard's code of conduct to call for the genocide of Jews. Even though she survived longer than she would have under these circumstances had she been anything other than a black woman, the #FakeNews and all of the usual race hustlers popped up to gaslight us about her firing being due to 'racism.' 'Racist mobs' bla bla 'white supremacists' bla bla 'fascists' bla bla 'racism' bla bla 'anti-Blackness' bla bla 'Jim Crow' bla bla 'subjugated by whiteness' bla bla 'white supremacy and racists' bla bla 'bad faith bigots.' etc. Gay herself said the criticism was "fueled by racial animus." Literally the same thing happened to a white woman (Liz Magill) who did not even have the plagiarism issue, but when it happens to a black woman, it's 'racism.' Its obvious to everyone that any results or behavior must be accepted from black people or the left will cry 'racism.' I.e. racism is now defined as holding black people to the same standards as every other group of people. [Affirmative Action, College, CRT DIE Wokeness, Fake Racism]
Jan 4, 2024 ~ Flashback Oct 2022: Chris Brunet: “I can’t stress enough how much of a tragedy a Claudine Gay presidency would be — this must not be allowed to come to pass. She will ruin Harvard.

Dec 24, 2023 ~ Black Columbia professor John McWhorter says Harvard President Claudine Gay should resign: "It has always been inconvenient that Harvard’s first Black president has only published 11 academic articles in her career and not one book (other than one with three co-editors). Some of her predecessors, like Lawrence Bacow, Drew Gilpin Faust and Lawrence Summers, have had vastly more voluminous academic records. The discrepancy gives the appearance that Dr. Gay was not chosen because of her academic or scholarly qualifications, which Harvard is thought to prize, but rather because of her race... If the issue were a couple of hastily quoted phrases in one article, it would be one thing. But investigations have shown that this problem runs through about half of Dr. Gay’s articles, as well as her dissertation. We must ask how a university president can expect to hold her head high, carry authority and inspire respect as a leader on a campus where students suffer grave consequences for doing even a fraction of what Dr. Gay has done."

Dec 16, 2023 ~ Harvard President Claudine Gay is the definition of a black DIE diversity hire. She did the same thing Liz Magill of Penn did (refused to say calls for genocide against Jews is harassment) plus multiple instances of plagiarism. Magill who is white loses her job but Gay keeps hers because black people are held to a lower standard. Compare her also to former Harvard President Larry Summers. Summers, a white economist with no plagiarism lost his job for suggesting there might be brain differences between men and women. Summers published six books and well over 100 academic articles. Gay published only 11 in a far less rigorous field, some of which were plagiarized. Black scholar Carol Swain was brutally honest: “What is bothering me is not just that there’s passages she didn’t put in quotation marks. When I look at her work, I feel like her whole research agenda, her whole career, was based on my work. She became president of Harvard and got recognition as being its first black president. I don’t believe her record warranted tenure, and I believe that I had to meet a much higher standard than she did. … It’s clear to me that standards were lowered in the mid-1990s, and the elites came together and decided that they were going to defend affirmative action. It’s clear to me that she was a beneficiary of that. I blame her committee, and I blame white progressives equally.” "A white male would probably already be gone," Swain noted. No matter, she still stays. As Harvard’s first black president, she becomes essentially untouchable. Whatever she does is by definition, ‘awesome’ and ‘brilliant.’ Fake historian of the #FakeNews New York Times said questioning her qualifications even after plagiarism evidence is 'racist.' Of course it is... [Affirmative Action, Anti-Semitism, College, CRT DIE Wokeness, Fake Racism]
Oct 22, 2023 ~ Bill Maher explains why many colleges like Harvard have become worthless cesspools of left wing garbage.
"As an Ivy League graduate who knows the value of a liberal education, I have one piece of advice for the youth of America. Don’t go to college. And if you absolutely have to go, don’t go to an elite college, because as recent events have shown, it just makes you stupid. There are few if any positives to come out of what happened in Israel, but one of them opening America's eyes to how higher education has become indoctrination, among them the simplistic notion that the world is a binary place where everyone is either an oppressor or oppressed. In the case of Israel, oppressors being babies and bubas. The same students who will tell you that words are violence and silence is violence were very supportive when Hamas terrorists went on a rape and murder rampage worthy of the Vikings. They knew where to point the fingers; at the murdered, and then it was off to ethics class."
"Siding with terrorists," "34 student groups at Harvard signed a letter saying 'the apartheid regime is the only one to blame,' proving they don't know what constitutes apartheid. They don't know much of anything, actually. But it doesn’t deter them from having an opinion. They’ve convinced themselves Israel is the most repressive regime in history because they have no knowledge of history or even a desire to know it. And actual history doesn’t come up in their intersectionality of politics and gender queer identities class.”
“If ignorance is a disease, Harvard Yard is the Wuhan wet market. The reason why despising Israel became pretty much a requirement of the American Left is colleges, elite colleges, the mouth of the river from which this and all manner of radical Left illiberal, yes, illiberal nonsense flows. Supporting all-black, that is segregated dorms, segregated graduation ceremonies, and orientation programs, which occur on hundreds of campuses is illiberal. So is the racism against Asian applicants and chasing speakers off of campus. When the First Amendment watchdog group Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression began ranking colleges based on their commitment to free speech and inquiry, Harvard came in dead last. There is only one set of acceptable opinions on campus, and it’s policed hard." "Elite schools should no longer be called elite. Just say expensive." Oddly, after excoriating Democrats and the left, Maher ends up attacking Republicans, perhaps annoyed that they figured all of this out long before he did?
