Comments to Steve Sailer<\/a>:<\/p>\n

* I suggest that these students would benefit from experiencing a Chinese practice from the time of the Cultural Revolution. Several years of hard labour in a rural setting.<\/p>\n

* Young kids just love censorship. It\u2019s a generational thing.
\nLast year I was told by a younger female cousin she wouldn\u2019t speak, socialise or in any way associate herself with right- wing, racist, sexist or \u201chomophobic\u201d people. At that point she didn\u2019t really know where I stood on some issues. Needless to say, I was soon made a pariah by her and her side of the family.
\nToday tolerance means intolerance toward different point of views. If you do not toe the PC line you\u2019re a fascist, a waste of oxygen, a non-person. And antifas are downright violent and vicious. You\u2019ve been warned.<\/p>\n

* It\u2019s more like a female thing. Women crave conformity over individuality, security over freedom. I see it all day, every day, everywhere.<\/p>\n

* Blacks be crazy. They substitute volume for sense.<\/p>\n

It goes back to MLK. Take away the volume and read his speeches straight, and they are just silly yammerings.<\/p>\n

We see a pattern.<\/p>\n

Black \u2018debating\u2019 style.<\/p>\n

Interruption of Bernie Sanders speech.<\/p>\n

The way of rappers.<\/p>\n

Jews use wit and logic(however twisted).<\/p>\n

Blacks holler.<\/p>\n

Well, Jews created this climate. May they reap what they sowed.<\/p>\n

PS. The idea of \u2018safe spaces\u2019 is one thing white right should appropriate from PC.<\/p>\n

EU should be safe space from Muslim invasion, African violence, and Jewish machinations.<\/p>\n

White communities should be safe spaces from black crime\u2026 like in the film THE VILLAGE.<\/p>\n

Good idea and morally defensible too.<\/p>\n

The great irony is the most universities are set up to be safe spaces for whites from black crime.<\/p>\n

Many are situated in small towns.<\/p>\n

And even those in big cities(with lots of blacks) have lots of policing. like in Hyde Park. It is to protect whites from black thugs.<\/p>\n

But colleges are also \u2018progressive\u2019 and ostensibly against \u2018white privilege\u2019.<\/p>\n

So, they provide \u2018safe spaces\u2019 for minority students but from what? The mythical KKK at Oberlin?<\/p>\n

White Libs create safe racial spaces for themselves but justify such spaces by making the gesture of creating mini-safe-spaces for token blacks who have nothing to fear. Such token blacks may be accosted by stop-ans-frisk police on occasion, but cops do that only because they\u2019ve been ordered to maintain safe spaces for white libs in a city with \u2018too many blacks.\u2019<\/p>\n

* These are the fruits of a society run by women. Even today, is it conceivable for a man to allow himself to be heard whining like this?
\nA hundred years ago, prohibition was enacted, for alcohol is an evil invention by men. Fun in general is an evil invention by men, for men.
\nFree speech is an oppressive oligarchic paternalistic racist adultist malist construct. It doesn\u2019t exist, just like race and gender, figments of the imagination of the patriarchy. Reality, fun, airplanes, cameras, wheels, toothpicks, atomic reactors and ice cream, all are oppressions foisted upon us by the patriarchy, and justified by the vilest construct of them all, free speech.
\nInstead, let the matriarchy and culturarchy lead the way. After all, they have given us \u201csafe spaces\u201d and nurseries for all.
\n\u201cAnd let reality be banished from the earth, for all eternity, sayeth she, the goddess of safe spaces and whining bitches.<\/p>\n

* The students should force the professor to wear a dunce cap and engage in self-criticism, but probably dunce caps are culturally insensitive and insulting to the Dunce-American community.<\/p>\n

I love the idea of the Pinterest page with \u201csuggested\u201d good and bad Halloween costumes. The actual pages didn\u2019t really offer much comedy gold, unfortunately. I did glean that dressing as Rosie the Riveter is good, because she is a strong female figure. I don\u2019t know whether it is OK\/expected for guys to also dress as Rosie, but I assume it is. Would it be OK to dress as Dr. Huxtable in a colorful sweater (as long as you didn\u2019t wear blackface)?<\/p>\n

In the \u201960s, if the Yale administration had dared to officially recommend Halloween costumes to the students (not that anyone over the age of 12 wore Halloween costumes in those days) everyone would have called them fascists, but now the students DEMAND that they do so.<\/p>\n

I also love the idea of abolishing House \u201cMasters\u201d \u2013 how racist can you get? I don\u2019t know what we could change this to, though. Anything else \u2013 house chieftain, house sheikh, etc. would be cultural appropriation, just as evil as dressing up as a samurai or in a turban. I understand that dressing as inanimate object is still OK in most cases. Maybe the House Master could be called the \u201cBig Cheese\u201d or the \u201cVenti Latte\u201d, but then again many non-Northern Europeans are lactose intolerant, vegan, etc. so maybe he\/she\/it could be the \u201cBig Tofu\u201d or the \u201cVenti Latte with soymilk\u201d.<\/p>\n

* Way back in my college days, at the dawn of the PC era, I had a Chinese history professor who said that the PC movement reminded him of the Red Guards from the Cultural Revolution. I thought that comment was an exaggeration, but it doesn\u2019t seem that far from the truth now.<\/p>\n

One assumes that the zeal and ardor of these undergraduates will wane with time. But if not, it scares me to think of the consequences for American society.<\/p>\n

* She\u2019 a light skinned Mulatta. The most militant blacks and those who form the \u201cblack\u201d leadership are the ones who are partly white. First of all, in order to prove their black identity (most of all to themselves) and 2ndly because they tend to be more intelligent than other American Blacks who have more African blood.<\/p>\n

* It strikes me that this might be the perfect moment for the U. of Chicago to assert itself as the number one undergraduate institution in America \u2014 the only liberal arts college that maintains traditional standards of free speech, a solid liberal arts curriculum (though slipping here), and that treats its students, not like children, and not like adults, but like, well, smart undergraduates who have a lot to learn. Liberal faculty and administrators at all the other elite institutions have caved, a surrender that started in the 1960\u2032s \u2014 why did they give up virtually without a fight? \u2014 and that continues today.<\/p>\n

* Steve, you have suggested several times that the US Government should establish a procedure to examine the government decisions that resulted in the legal immigration of foreigners who subsequently committed terrorist mass murders and other heinous crimes.<\/p>\n

Likewise, universities ought to establish a procedure to examine the university decisions that resulted in the enrollment of students who turn out to be grossly maladjusted for a university culture and who frighten even the faculty and staff.<\/p>\n

How was this bizarre coed admitted into extremely selective Yale University?<\/p>\n

The administration should re-examine:<\/p>\n

* her high-school studies and extra-curricular activities<\/p>\n

* the recommendations written by her teachers, etc.<\/p>\n

* her application essay<\/p>\n

* her test scores (SAT, etc.)<\/p>\n

* the selection committee\u2019s reasoning for favoring her over other applicants.<\/p>\n

Obviously, she was not sufficiently mature, intelligent or educated to become a Yale student.<\/p>\n

Evaluating this selection decision retrospectively, Yale University should learn some lessons to avoid similar mistakes in the future.<\/p>\n

* Of all the horrific tendencies on display in this video, the rise of \u201csnaps\u201d (the simultaneous finger clicking you hear from the crowd) as a signal of social\/group approval (replacing applause) is most terrifying. Closely related to the \u201cup twinkles\u201d hand gesture which first gained widespread notoriety during the Occupy protests, the practice would seem to be ripe for use as a device in a horror movie set on campus. One good thing, much harder to drown out your opposition with snaps than applause (though these proto-fascists don\u2019t seem to have much trouble shouting someone down anyway).<\/p>\n

* I hesitate to bring up a Harvard vs Yale competition, but I will say, having seen and heard about any number of recent graduates from each, that Yalies just seem many times more affected and preening than those from Harvard, who seem, oddly, rather more normal.<\/p>\n

A much higher disproportion of Yalies (most especially women) seem to talk in an almost absurdly exaggerated manner \u2014 fast talking, up talking, vocal deep frying, etc. I could posit a number of explanations \u2014 \u201cWe\u2019re Number Two. We impress harder!\u201d is a good candidate \u2014 but there\u2019s just something out of whack about that place.<\/p>\n

* Mounting cell phone video evidence like this is building the widespread notion that these BLM types are the villains not the victims. The left wing narrative on this is really going to flip.<\/p>\n

Also, while black Americans do block vote for racist hard left Obama, and have general block support for Trayvon and Michael Brown and even OJ, a lot of regular blacks actually realize that Obama is racist, Trayvon and Michael Brown bore large responsibility for their fates, and OJ was guilty.<\/p>\n

* As has been noted before, thanks to Worldstar Hip Hop, Live Leak, and YouTube, the preponderance of evidence of black people, filmed by black people, exhibiting themselves as collectively prone towards degenerate behavior, will slowly but surely brand itself on the collective American subconscious, so that even liberals will find themselves clutching their collective purses every time a black person gets on an elevator with them, for generations to come.<\/p>\n

If I were a black student at Yale, the last thing I\u2019d do is start screaming expletives, while removing my backpack, leading the viewer to believe their could be violence to come, while having a discussion with an administrator.<\/p>\n

I would reason that, in my privileged position, as a black person attending Yale university, it would be my responsibility to demonstrate that black people don\u2019t tend toward violent and\/or irrational behavior, and feeble-mindedness, and that I wasn\u2019t a student at Yale simply because of their sublimated affirmative action policies.<\/p>\n

These shrill black students have contributed to this \u201cnegative stereotype\u201d that will not serve their generation well. Viewers may not reason it out in their minds that blacks have a tendency towards violence and low emotional IQ, but subconsciously, it will be reinforced as the \u201crules of the game,\u201d when dealing with black people at any level.<\/p>\n

It wouldn\u2019t be acceptable for me to go through life as a black person knowing my achievements stand, in part, because other people feel sorry for my wretched lot in life, and are giving me things due to their pity.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, these black students have done their part to ensure they will be pitied, and any real achievements by them will be considered an exception to the very far right of their races bell curve.<\/p>\n

* Most of the \u201cblack\u201d students in the Ivy League are either the children of immigrants or have a non-black parent. New York Mayor De Blasio\u2019s son Dante started Yale this fall. Steven Spielberg\u2019s son Theo is a Yale graduate. The Crouch quadruplets, Yale graduates, have a white father and a Nigerian mother.<\/p>\n

* Dressing as someone you’re not for one evening: so bad you should be confronted by friends.<\/a>
\nDressing as someone you’re not for years: so good you should receive federal protection<\/a>.<\/p>\n

* I think Christakis handled the situation very well. Its very hard for a grown man to deal with a teenage girl\u2019s temper tantrum. He loses if it appears he is bullying her or lets it get physical and he loses if he backs down.<\/p>\n

The professor walked the thin line very well. He stood his ground, made it clear his opinion is not changing, and let her have her tantrum. In the end she is one who walked away.<\/p>\n

By tweeting his sympathy for her, he reclaimed the moral high ground.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
