To be clear, the McCombs school put its name behind a guy who fundamentally said "first....you round up the black people."

Your university, folks.  That's what they want it to become, and it seems there's no stopping it.  

This needs to get in front of Hartzell.

This. Hartzell raises a stink, Abbot or Patrick call him. “Nice job you got there. Shame if anything happened to it”

Jonathan Katz, the journo who started digging into Hanania and exposed some of the murky group that funds his racism and sexism, sent out a long form article responding to the how Hanania is currently responding to the spotlight by saying "hey I may have been a racist when I was in my 20s but I'm past all that now."

Hanania's defense

In short: Don't worry, he's the good kind of racist now

(here's the beginning of the article, it's too long to c&p right now so click over if you want to read the entire thing. I recommend it just for the way Katz takes Hanania's own words from as recently as this week and shoves 'em back in his face)

Quote

Now, if you are a reader of this newsletter (and if you aren’t yet, welcome), this did not come as a surprise. To anyone with a rudimentary understanding of racism — at least, an understanding that does not require the racist to put on a white hood and shout “I am a racist” — Hanania has been an open racist, on main, for years. To use yet another example, when Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who is Black, indicted white subway rider Daniel Penny for the strangling death of Black subway passenger Jordan Neely, Hanania tweeted: “These people are animals, whether they’re harassing people in subways or walking around in suits.” That was this past May.

So you may ask yourself, how much worse could these older posts be? Oh, reader. Writing as “Hoste” in 2010, Hanania said: “There doesn’t seem to be a way to deal with low IQ breeding that doesn’t include coercion … In the same way we lock up criminals and the mentally ill in the interests of society at large, one could argue that we could on the exact same principle sterilize those who are bound to harm future generations through giving birth.” His proposal was to forcibly sterilize anyone with IQs of less than 90. In case there is any doubt about who he was referring to, a few years earlier Hanania called Black people “a race with an IQ of 85.” Latinos, he added, also don’t have “the requisite IQ to be a productive part of a first world nation.”

Oh, and did I mention Hanania wrote that for Richard Spencer’s website?

There is more. There’s Hanania on fat people (“their obesity reflects some ugly personality traits”). Hanania on “large-scale female involvement in politics” (a “bad thing”). Hanania also found time to weigh in on Haiti: In 2010, he recapped a speech by the neo-Nazi William Pierce — author of the aforementioned Turner Diaries — that in turn drew heavily on the wildly racist work of the nineteenth-century English writer Hesketh Prichard, whose 1902 travelogue Where Black Rules White has been a deep-cut favorite of National Socialists for decades. Hanania wrote: “The biggest enemies of the Black Man are not Klansmen or multinational corporations, but the liberals who have prevented an honest appraisal of his abilities and filled his head with myths about equality and national autarky.” Given the timing, that line was almost certainly Hanania’s reaction to the earthquake that had just killed 100,000 to 316,000 people. (He still thinks that about Haiti.)

Reminder that @Mikey4 believes we can't be outraged by:

  • Writing as “Hoste” in 2010, Hanania said: “There doesn’t seem to be a way to deal with low IQ breeding that doesn’t include coercion … In the same way we lock up criminals and the mentally ill in the interests of society at large, one could argue that we could on the exact same principle sterilize those who are bound to harm future generations through giving birth.”

  •  There’s Hanania on fat people (“their obesity reflects some ugly personality traits”).
  • Hanania on “large-scale female involvement in politics” (a “bad thing”).
  • Hanania wrote: “The biggest enemies of the Black Man are not Klansmen or multinational corporations, but the liberals who have prevented an honest appraisal of his abilities and filled his head with myths about equality and national autarky.”
  • "The reason I’m the target of a cancellation effort is because left-wing journalists dislike anyone acknowledging statistical differences between races. My mistake in a previous life was assigning collective guilt based on certain undeniable facts."

  • Many restrictionists seem to be operating under the assumption that the US has the same demographics it did in the 1960s. But today, only around 52% of births are white, 23% are Hispanic, 15% are black, and 7% are Asian. Let’s peg white IQ at 100, Hispanics at 92, blacks at 85, and Asians at 105. We still have 3% for other, and let’s just give them an IQ of 95. This alone means that the average IQ of newborns in the US is already around 95. It’s actually probably lower than that due to dysgenic fertility, which seems to be knocking at least 1 IQ point off each generation. We can therefore estimate the IQ of American newborns to be 94.

From Hanania's "apology" (surprise surprise, he is an incel):

Quote

Then we get more excuses: He was lonely. He didn’t have “romantic successes.” And above all, it was the liberals’ fault. Those damn liberals “lied a lot about race.” They “denied the overwhelming evidence in favor of heredity being important for individual outcomes.” They “required PC-speak.” After taking a second to notice what he’s doing here — smuggling in yet another round of eugenicist arguments — we can note that he says his reaction to this perceived liberal wrongness was “stupid.” But stupid how? He isn’t saying he was wrong for being racist or believing in eugenics. Rather, he says his mistake was being as “dogmatic” as his “political enemies,” and that this led him to his “quasi-fascist ideology.”

Just to add additional context to this, he was quoting or paraphrasing (and certainly not critically) a speech from the neo-Nazi William Pierce. Pierce wrote the Turner Diaries, which is one of the most racist things ever written and has inspired numerous acts of terrorism and violence, including the Oklahoma City bombing.

But supporting universal healthcare is probably morally equivalent.

Now now now, let's be fair to @Mikey4. I'm sure he is super outraged at all this. It's just that it is exacly as outrageous as providing social services like education and healthcare to those that need them.

To clarify this asshole is or is not currently on campus? And if so which department and where’s his office?

I have always been pretty confused by the term "fellow."  It seems to encompass a wide range of academic relationships.

In this instance, none of them are good for the Salem Center, but I'm not sure it meant he spent any or much time on campus.

Also, this Salem Center, by it's "mission" seems to be innocuous enough, what the fuck to assholes like Chris Rufo and this jackhole have to do with it?  Can @YGIFS or someone give me some more data/background on this thing?

Thanks for dragging me into this.  This website is about the University of Texas athletics, then eventually spread into stuff about UT in general, and then just life in general.  I'm as guilt as anyone of making shit out to be political when it doesn't have to be.  This is a DT thread.  yes, sometimes, I talk about being involved at UT...that's the fucking theme of the website.  I gotta read about how many platinum miles you guys have on American or what kinda watch you bought, sometimes you gotta read about our alma mater.  Tough shit.  Sometimes what a football player did or didn't do, or same with female soccer player, gets turned into a political discussion...maybe that's all of us taking shit too far.  You guys wanna talk about a sadistic white supremacist at UT (in some semi-formal fashion), then let's get permission from the site owners to talk about it.  Because it's exhausting listening to the fucking whining, and I'm sure it's ten-fold annoying for the owners.  

Years ago, some asshat regents thought they could turn UT into an online degree factory.  It ended up working at A&M instead.  To the point of this thread, around that time...Center for Politics & Governance begins to really take hold and influence at UT.  Sorry for all you "MEH, POLITICS, TOO MUCH CR!" crowd.  The word "Politics" is literally in the fucking name of the Center so eat orange taint.  Good friend of mine leaves the Bush Administration to run it and works with several prominent liberals on campus to grow the thing.  It takes a backseat for a few years, probably because I got involved and am dumb.  Gets high profile again when Ryan Streeter leaves D.C. to come to Austin to reboot it with robust fundraising and political engagement.  You wouldn't have known him at the time, but in hindsight, he was a big grab because he had just got done being a chief of staff (forget which order/pecking order) for an unknown centre-right Republican named Mike Pence (this was 2014/15).  Ryan's vision was for a higher-ed campus based think tank with alumni programming, undergraduate courses, and graduate level grant-based research.  and to be slightly right, but overall-pretty bipartisan.  And it was working.  Powers and Fenves liked it.  Legislature and Governors/LtG's backed down for other reasons and everybody was happy.  Ryan left to be a big deal at AEI think tank in D.C.  It was renamed, restaffed, and redeployed as Salem Center at McCombs instead of LBJ School.  And was quiet until shitheads like this starting popping up. 

People like Dan Patrick and his ilk realized they can't dismantle our faculty, our research, our desire to teach the forbidden critical thinking skills that brought us out of the caves and into the heavens.  So now we have Civitas Institute, Salem Center, and a revamping of the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board to deploy more activity like this around the state.    UT and the system will continue their mission, but instead of circumventing the faculty and mission...they will instead disrupt what happens on campus through centers/institutes/initiatives like Salem where this asshat parks his car sometimes.  this is just the start.  The new appointees to the THECB are the same people bringing you University of Austin, Acton Business School, et. al.  

TL;dr, Too CR.  Too libtard lobo.  Guess who has either in person or familial appointments to every one of these right-wing groups?  The guy with no frequent flyer status that makes things too anti-GOP.  Despite his bona fides.

Also, big---somewhat related---announcement coming down Monday afternoon.  I mean, big for our modest system.  not groundbreaking politically in the U .S. or anything.   

And as per usual, lots of bitching on here about "STOP MAKING THIS POLITICAL."  It's a state flagship, grow up you fucking orange-sherbert dick suckers.

There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.

I negged you because I didn't say any of those things, that's emphatically not who I am, and it's insulting for you to accuse me of holding those views. I said his views are abhorrent and he should be condemned for holding them. Somehow you construed that to mean that I agree with him. That's why I negged you.

Lots of equally abhorrent views. He could have been writing in support of liquidating the kulaks or shooting glasses-wearers in the back of the head or implementing a Great Terror in all of the well-known Stalinist and Khmer Rouge publications.

Yes, people across the political spectrum can have repulsive views.  I can't believe this is even debatable.  Here are a few:

None of these statements has any role in mainstream discourse. 

If I'm slow to respond, it's because I'm busy and do not have the interest or time to sit behind a keyboard and have an Internet debate over this stuff -- especially when you're not reading (or reading but choosing to ignore) my positions.

Let’s go a bit further, for accuracy. To UT…and an “institute” at UT founded, funded; and pushed by politicians…for an expressly stated political purpose…which aligns with the hateful bullshit being spouted by its lecturers and such.
This isn’t a guy who HAPPENED to be associated with UT and HAPPENED to spout hateful fascist rhetoric. He is associated with UT because certain politicians who agree with such rhetoric created a place at UT specifically to host and sponsor such rhetoric. THIS. WAS. INTENTIONAL.

Again, why, when people were calling out his views as abhorrent, did you feel the need to question whether people would feel the same if some hypothetically equally abhorrent views were expressed by someone on the left? The fact that you can't understand why your need to do that looks like a defense of his views is inexplicable to me. The implication of your post was that people only found his views abhorrent because he was "right wing" rather than because his views were objectively terrible.

What you could have said is that you jumped to conclusions before actually reading anything. Because I'm about 99.9999% sure that is what happened. Your late edits after you received heavy criticism pretty much confirm that.

But see, that’s what they don’t get. They think they abhorrent conduct by “the other side” makes it ok for their guys to be slime bags. What they don’t get is that when they point out, say, antisemetic garbage from someone they can characterize as a “leftist,” everyone sane says “yeah, chuck them in the garbage too.”
I think that trash people are trash people. I don’t think that hearing someone from the “opposition” be trash makes trash ok for me.

Also, I don't know that you can classify the Lincoln professor as on the "left." He appears to be a Muslim extremist with sexist, racist, and anti-gay views.

I'd posit he has more in common with conservative Christianity in the US than anyone we would classify as on the left.

Yeah, and a whole lotta this. The christofascists who rant against islamofascists aren’t upset about their beliefs, they’re upset that they use “the wrong god” to justify them.

Since we're talking about employees of state governments and people appointed by politically elected officials to serve in political positions in higher education who are chosen based on political analysis for political purposes to serve in political roles in political institutions...can we talk about something that may be slightly perceived a somewhat political by some of our resident, sensitive cunts here or do all public universities and their boards and leaders exist only inside television sets on Saturdays in the Fall?  I forget.  

Because we're beginning a serious move towards being like Florida starting this week.  And Frank Stallone is in on it.

I guess Elon has rolled out a crayon scribbles to text feature in “X” because this was written by someone who thinks like a first grader. The bar to being a “Visiting Scholar” or “public intellectual” has gotten pretty gotdam low.

 

That....was pretty fucking stupid.  And yes, the bar for being deemed a "thinker" is pretty much just a bar laying on the ground now.

That dipshit should have taken his disdain for safety and hitched a ride in the Titan.

It's like if you gave a 16 year old an assignment to review a New Yorker article 5 minutes after he finished Atlas Shrugged

This sentence was written by a 3rd grader. 

Quote


Story 2: Tesla is forced to do a recall because their automated software permitted people to roll through stop signs at 6 MPH. As the company points out, people do it all the time. Who cares? But it violates the rules! Recall all humans too, they might roll through stop signs.

I'm sorry, this is wrong.  Before you accused me of sympathizing with him, I had already said his views are abhorrent and should be condemned.  Either you didn't read what I wrote or, perhaps worse, you read it and posted what you did anyway. 

 

Yes, people across the political spectrum can have repulsive views.  I can't believe this is even debatable.  Here are a few:

None of these statements has any role in mainstream discourse. 

If I'm slow to respond, it's because I'm busy and do not have the interest or time to sit behind a keyboard and have an Internet debate over this stuff -- especially when you're not reading (or reading but choosing to ignore) my positions. 

There's always been people on all fringes with abhorrent views, and the mainstream people have always shunned them. The problem here is that some of these views are slipping into the mainstream.

Yes and having this jackleg as a visiting scholar at a reputable university is not helping.

The mainstream (Fox News) stopped shunning them. They started saying them.
