Tuesday night was held what is probably the first-ever public, open, debate on Diversity-Equity-Inclusion (DEI) on a U.S. college campus. The Adam Smith Society and the MIT Free Speech Alliance are delighted. We sponsored this to show that polite but strong disagreement on hot-button political issues could be openly expressed at an American university--- and MIT, in particular. No police were present, not threats were made, and the debate and audience questioning proceeded respectfully--- though not because the debaters didn’t stake out their positions in very strong and opposing terms. Our press release is up on the web at https://www.mitfreespeech.org/press-releases-and-press-information.

MIT had to be sued by every marginalized group before they ever adopt Equity. Women, Hearing Impaired, Indians, etc all had to sue MIT for equity. I say MIT should immediately distribute all its wealth and land to blacks as reparations. Equity of outcomes cannot wait another 100 years. Cash out and distribute your wealth now MIT and you will finally achieve Equity. Anything less is deception.

Yep I’m in line for that handout.

Exactly! Handouts are good for you. They’re so much better than actually earning money and all the hard work that goes with that. Handouts are best to achieve Equity.

Equity of outcomes is not found in the Constitution, only in the minds of Marxists and Communists.

It’s core to BLM, SF Reparations Committee and coming to Federal legislation near you. We should welcome Reparations and giving or getting of half the wealth and land of Whites because it will achieve Equity (where we all have the exact same and we’ll like it).

It did not.

Reparations would end up helping white Republicans in the southeast—dollars have to be spent.

That’s exactly why we need to hurry up and take their wealth and land.

Milton Friedman called it a “helicopter drop”…we should have paid reparations in January 2021.
