A series of incidents involving race points collectively to the racism of the Left. And this is a very important topic because the racism of the Left is camouflaged. In fact, it is camouflaged as anti-racism. The Left positions itself as if it's on a crusade to go after racism. They're all about fighting racism. This is the centerpiece of their agenda. But when we look carefully, we begin to see that underneath that, there are all kinds of brewing prejudice and hatred. Hatred really toward, in some sense, all the major ethnic groups.
Let me start with the incidents themselves.
Joe Biden's assistant attorney general, and believe it or not, the attorney general for civil rights, turns out in her background to be an out-and-out racist. In fact, she's a believer in what you could almost call Black supremacy. We're talking about Kristen Clarke, who was the president of the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under Law. Think about this, an out-and-out, anti-white supremacist who is now having all these important civil rights positions and is now the number two person in the Justice Department.
It was Tucker Carlson who revealed several weeks ago now that Kristen Clarke, when she was a student at Harvard, had signed a letter to the Harvard Crimson in which she said, among other things, "Melanin endows Blacks with greater mental, physical and spiritual abilities--something which cannot be measured based on Eurocentric standards." Now, interestingly, when this came up in the media, Kristen Clarke tried to sort of cover it up and backtrack. She said to The Forward, "It was meant to express an equally absurd point of view – fighting one ridiculous absurd racist theory with another ridiculous absurd theory."
Clarke is implying that she was trying to fight against "The Bell Curve" and the idea of white superiority, and she was satirically juxtaposing against it Black supremacy. This, of course, is an out-and-out brazen lie, and I say that because I went back to the Harvard Crimson, I pulled up the original article, the original letter, read it in its entirety, and read all the student responses to it. Because, of course, if this was satire, you would expect the Harvard students to say, "Hahahaha, nice one, Kristen Clarke. You really pulled off a very witty rejoinder!" But no, all of them, both the people who supported Kristen Clarke and the people critical of her, assume that she was speaking seriously. Why? Because she obviously was. Even the editors of the Harvard Crimson criticized her and criticized the fact that she had never disavowed these views.
Now, that is incident number one – not only an affirmation of Black supremacy but literally rooting it. And by the way, Kristen Clarke was the president of the Black Student Association at Harvard, rooting it in a kind of the pseudoscience of so-called melanin theory. In fact, melanin doesn't endow you with anything, intellectually or morally, or spiritually. This is all sort of nonsense talk, but nevertheless, there it is.
Now, let me pivot to a second incident, equally telling. This is at the University of Illinois in Chicago.
Their flyer is all over the campus, which says, "Ending white privilege starts with ending Jewish privilege." So the flyer, if you look at it more closely, says things like this, "Jewish Americans make up two percent of the population, but 44 percent of these Jewish Americans are in the top one percent." In other words, whites may be doing well, but Jews are doing even better. And it goes on to say that white privilege is better understood at the very top as really being Jewish privilege. And so the campaign against white supremacy really turns into a campaign against the Jews. Why? Because the Jews are better educated, and they are richer. And they are embedded in apparently these powerful institutions of finance and the media. I mean, age-old stereotypes about Jews that really can go back, you see them right there and early Nazism, you see them in pretty much every anti-Semitic society, this idea that the Jews are hated because their success is attributed to the fact that they are so wicked, at least this is the anti-Semitic trope.
So, on the one hand, we see with Kristen Clarke the anti-white notion. The notion that Blacks are superior to whites. Now, we see in the University of Illinois in Chicago the idea that Jews are sort of the "uber whites." I mean, think of how preposterous this is. In reality, you have Black Jews, brown Jews, white Jews, Ashkenazi and Sephardic Jews coming from all different parts of the world, different "levels of melanin," and yet they're targeted in the same way.
And now I want to turn to a third group, Asian Americans, who have been brutalized and beaten all over the place in a number of major cities almost inevitably, in the prominent cases that you see, by Blacks. Blacks who beat them over the head. Blacks who rob their stores. Blacks who call them names. Blacks who punch them in the subway. So, this is not just a generic anti-Asian trend. It is violence and hatred toward Asian Americans from African Americans.
Now, here's Eugene Chung, who is a former NFL offensive lineman, a guy of Korean descent, who interviewed for an NFL coaching job in the offseason. He said, "They said to me, 'Well, you're not really a minority.'" And Chung says, "I was like, 'Wait a minute. The last time I checked, when I looked in the mirror and brushed my teeth, I was a minority.'" And according to Chung, after he asked the interviewer what's going on, they said, "[You're] not the right minority that we're looking for." So the basic idea here is that Chung is being discriminated against because he's Asian instead of being an "approved minority," instead of being, I guess, they were looking for Latinos, or they were looking for Blacks.
And so what you have here is very clearly the prejudice of the Left, the racism of the Left, the racism of the Left that seems to be directed against whites, directed against Jews, and directed against Asian Americans.
