Stop Racist Speaker at MSU
Posted on January 21, 2008 in News by ACTIVATEComments Off

The following call to action comes from Michigan Against White Supremacy. We’re reprinting it here in order to encourage further organizing against white supremacists:

On March, 19th, Jared Taylor will be talking about how “multiculturalism is destroying western civilization”. He is part of the New Century Foundation and the American Renaissance Publication which seeks to justify racist ideas through science. The pseudo-science and manipulated data used by Taylor alleges for example that Hispanics are less intelligent than whites and that there is a racial hierarchy.

For an excellent article on what other racist things Taylor has to say, go to the mediamouse.org article here.

The msu chapter of young americans for freedom (sic) (MSU-YAF) is bringing Taylor. He will be speaking about how “multiculturalism is destroying western civilization.” The picture below, created by MSU-YAF, is a taste of just how overtly racist they are. This image is followed by quotes be Jared Taylor and can be found here. This is not about creating a debate, this is about dehumanizing entire sectors of our society. One way or another it has got to be stopped.

After reading up on Taylor, Contact Michigan State University and tell them that he adds nothing to an intellectual debate and that his presence puts at risk the safety of already marginalized students. Tell them that this event is racist and encourages racist beliefs. Tell them that he is being brought here to incite hatred against members of our community and that it has to stop.

Tell them that this event needs to be canceled immediately.
