Podcast Host/Narrator (11:25)
Fox News it says Columbia University is planning to hold six additional graduation ceremonies for students according to their race and other aspects of how they identify. The New York City school's website details graduation ceremonies for Native Amer, for native, Asian, Latinx and black students taking place for Columbia College, Columbia Engineering, General Studies and Barnard College at the end of April. Another dubbed FLI graduation is for first generation and or low income communities. And then the school is also hosting a lavender graduation for the LGBTIAQ community. So now they're defending this by saying that they're still having a regular graduation for everybody, but then they're going to have the segregated ones too on top of that. So that makes it okay. So if you had segregated drinking fountains, but you also had a drinking fountain that anyone could use, but that would make it okay. You got black and white drinking fountains. So we go back to that. Black and white drinking fountains. And then if anyone complains, we say, no, no. But there's, there's also drinking, drinking fountain across the hallway that you can, anyone can use that one. This is, this is, this is simple. This is segregation. This is actual racial segregation that is being reinstated by the left. And it does make me wonder, so if you've got the regular graduation and then all these other graduations, does that mean that, so what about a student who's a student, also gay, also black, also indigenous, would they go to like six different graduations, I guess. So this is how we have. It really is amazing to witness how we've gone just full circle right back to Jim Crow. And we are doing it in the name of racial tolerance and equality, going right back to Separate but equal. And I hate to use the term because this is so overused and used so often by people who've never even read the book or any of his books, but it really is Orwellian. There's no other real word to describe it. The way that racial equality has now become synonymous with the very thing that those who were fighting for racial equality historically were trying to get rid of, which would be segregation. This is from CNS News. It says an executive producer at America's largest owner of radio stations, iHeartMedia, advertised a job Thursday by stating we are looking at only diverse hires at this time. Only diverse hires, quote, unquote. Molly Socha, executive producer of custom podcasts@iheartmedia, made the statement. In an email sent to a listserv interested in the New York City radio industry and obtained by CNS News, Socha said, quote, diversity is incredibly important to our team and our company, so we're looking at only diverse hires at this time. While the iHeart Media producer made this stipulation in her email, apparently is nowhere to be found in the public listing for the job. Instead, the public announcement states that iheartmedia is an equal opportunity employer and will not tolerate discrimination in employment on the basis of race, color, age, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, expression, religion, disability, ethnicity, national origin, marital status, protected veteran status, genetic information, or any other legally protected classification or status. Which is, of course, exactly what they're doing. This is a violation of equal opportunity employment. They're saying that because we can translate this, of course, when they say we're only looking for diverse hires. In other words, we don't want a white person. And so in order to ensure diversity, they're eliminating ahead of time an entire category of people. They are, they're, they're limiting the number of people or the pool that they're going to select from in the name of diversity, narrowing it down in the name of diversity. And the whole idea that a person can be diverse, I don't know exactly what that's supposed to mean. You've got a diverse person versus an un diverse person or a non diverse person. Here's an update to this story, though, posted last night, Socha emailed the NYC Radio listserv shortly after being contacted by CNS News with the following statement. I made an error in language in my last note. So I just want to clarify. All are welcome to apply, and we will consider all qualified candidates. That being said, in our efforts to elevate diverse voices in the predominantly white podcast space, we strongly encourage engineers, editors of color, regardless of gender and sexual orientation, to apply. Yeah, that's a little too late for that. You made an error in language. No, you didn't. You expressed what you're looking for. That's not an error in language. It's not an error at all. That's actually not a mistake. You were being very clear about what you wanted. It should be too late for that. I mean, there should be a lawsuit against. A massive lawsuit against iheartmedia for this, just like there would be if they sent out an email saying, you know, we're really looking for a white employee on this one. That's really what we're looking for. You think they could send out that email and then the next day or a few hours later say, oh, no, no, no, we. Yeah, we'll. We'll consider nonwhite employees also, or non white applicants. No, they've. They've revealed their intent, and that should be enough right there. Let's be honest. If you're a gun owner and you're still shooting unsuppressed, you're messing up. You've got a great gun, you've got.
