Microaggressions and Other FictionsJoel Hilliker | November 27

WE TALKED ABOU T THIS

L V U T,

den group called Hidden Dores saged a proes. A couple

hundred sudens demonsraed, complaining abou racism on

campus and making demands abou wha he school needed o

do o eliminae i.

The day afer he proes, a black

bag was ound on he ron seps o he

Bishop Joseph Johnson Black Culural

Cener on he campus. There was poop

in he bag.

The proesers were ouraged a wha

hey branded as obvious racism.

The campus police sprang ino acion,

and by ha nigh, hey had locaed he offender. A securiy cam-

era revealed ha i was a blind emale suden: Her seeing eye dog

pooped; she cleaned i up and, being blind, was unable o locae

a rashcan. So she did wha she had been insruced o do: She

lef i ouside he door o he neares building so he nex person

coming along could pu i in he rash.

Sudens were “appalled,” “siting in grie” and “huring” over

a “vile” hae crime hey invened. They were rushing o he barri-

cades o racial jusice over a ficion.

How many oher improperly disposed-o bags o eces are

being rumped up ino cause or war? This is a colorul meaphor

sensiiviy ha sarles and hen raises Cain over he slighesJOEL HILLIKER

perceived offense.

Vanderbil’s racis dog doo akes is place among an increasing

number o such head-shaking, quasi-comical incidens. I rep-

resens a misguided ques or jusice ha is creaing problems ar

worse han hose i purpors o solve.

Earlier his monh a Yale Universiy, an inciden caused su-

dens o eel unsae, under atack, unable o bear living in he col-

lege anymore. Wha caused such disress and anguish? I was an

e-mail rom a school official sugesing ha adminisraors’ over-concern abou Halloween cosumes like eahered headdresses,

urbans, “war pain” and blackace wasn’ giving sudens enough

personal reedom. Ouraged sudens demanded ha his official

and her husband, who ried o deend he imporance o reedom

o speech, be fired.

“These are young people who live in sae, heaed buildings wih

wo Seinway grand pianos, an indoor baskeball cour, a cour-

yard wih hammocks and picnic ables, a compuer lab, a dance

sudio, a gym, a movie heaer, a film-ediing lab, billiard ables,

an ar gallery, and our music pracice rooms,” wroe Conor Frie-

dersdor a he Atlantic. “Bu hey can’ bear his seting ha mil-

lions o people would risk heir lives o inhabi—because one

woman wroe an e-mail ha hur heir eelings?” (“The New Inolerance o Suden Acivism”).

This is wha he bes and brighes in America’s highes uni-

versiies are being augh o hink. They are being trained how o

be offended—trained o deec agression where here is none.

The buzzword or hese concoced crimes is microaggres-

sions—“small acions or word choices ha seem on heir ace

o have no malicious inen bu ha are hough o as a kind o

violence noneheless.” Tha is how Greg Lukianoff and Jonahan

Haid defined microaggressions in heir Sepember 2015 Atlan-

tic aricle, “The Coddling o he American Mind.” They describe,

or example, campus guidelines branding i a microagression o

ask an Asian American “Where were you born?”—“because his

implies ha he or she is no a real American.” Ohers include:“America is he land o opporuniy” and “I believe he mos qual-

ified person should ge he job.” The horror.

This isn’ jus unny and ridiculous. I is a serious problem—

because we are seeing America’s uure. I is he naion’s educa-

ional sysem ha produces omorrow’s leaders.

These young people are radical. They cherish exremely divi-

sive and dangerous ideas o wha jusice looks like, wha soci-

ey owes hem, and how hey should be able o shu down any-

one who disagrees wih hem. They are gaining more and more

power, abeted by auhoriies who came ou o he same educa-

ional sysem.

Meanwhile, hese sudens are hemselves immune rom san-

dards o civiliy and decency. Screaming, bullying, fighing—

hese are legiimae ools in he supposedly noble war on inol-

erance. This misguided movemen offers no acual soluions.

Is aim is simply o proes, accuse, malign, ge people fired, and

cause a ruckus.

In ac, heir mission o expose hidden bigory is omening

blatant racism, overt hared and acual conflic.

Evidence o a backlash among whies in he U.S. agains heseincidens is emerging. The Washington Post repored Novem-

ber 20 on a “Illini Whie Sudens Union” Facebook page: “Cre-

aed Wednesday afer a proes sympaheic o Black Lives Ma-

er, he page declared isel ‘or whie sudens o Universiy

o Illinois o be able o orm a communiy and discuss our own

issues as well as be able o organize agains he errorism we have

been acing rom Black Lives Mater aciviss on campus,’ as he

Daily Illini repored.” The “abou” secion o he page said i was

abou “Whie Pride and a sae place or Whie sudens.” Anoher

par o he sie encouraged people o send i picures o black

proesors on campus “so we know who ani-whies are.”

Following up on he Pos sory, he College Fix ound more

han 30 “Whie Suden Union” pages on Facebook creaed wihin jus he prior week, a prominen universiies including Sand-

ord, Penn Sae, , UC Berkeley, he Universiy o Missouri

and . Several o hese pages say, “We affirm he digniy and

ancesry o our proud people who have gifed he world wih

counless works o beauy, science and wisdom, and are com-

mited o promoing a dialogue and poliical resisance ha will

secure a uure or our poseriy and spiri.”

Is his all ha surprising? These sudens are simply creaing

Facebook pages ha are essenially using he same language ha

“black suden union” groups do abou heir own race. Neverhe-

less, hey have sirred suden anger and roused adminisraors

o demand hese Web pages be removed. Wha will happen nex?

Obviously, here is racism in America. There are racis peo-ple who will do racis hings. Bu he idea ha creaing a climae

o inolerance—o accusaions and demands, o orced change

based on a skewed view o jusice—is going o roo ou suppos-

edly sysemic racism is . I is leading in pre-

cisely he opposie direcion.

This is deeply concerning, because—as we have ofen men-

ioned a he Trumpet—biblical prophecies warn how race prob-

lems in he U.S. are going o explode. Surely here are some—o

several races—who are racis and are being provoked ino vio-

lence. This siuaion is going o blow up in all our aces.

How Paris Atacks Have Srenghened Iran’s Posiion Over SyriaGuardian | November 18


T P H R

highly-anicipaed visi o heÉlysée Palace, which was sched-

uled or his week, bu he Iranian presiden will soon ravel oFrance wih a beter bargaining posiion over Syria.

Iran, an ally o Bashar Assad’s regime since he conflic sared

in 2011, has been arguing ha he Wes should prioriize he figh

agains Islamic Sae () and sep aside rom he posiion ha

he Syrian leader, considered by hem o be a par o he problem,

mus leave.

Criics say Tehran is rying o shield Assad behind a biger

evil and is doing whaever i can o proec is sraegic ally, while

many ohers believe ha he invasion o Iraq and he ousings

o Saddam Hussein and, more recenly, Muammar Qadhafi in

Libya are signs ha power vacuums in such a volaile region have

proved o be a major challenge.

Ali Aloneh, senior ellow a he Foundaion or he Deenseo Democracies, said: “Presiden François Hollande, who canno

coun on Washingon deploying ground orces in Syria, is now

reaching ou o Iran and Russia o orm an alliance in he figh

agains Daesh [].

“This in urn legiimizes Iran’s miliary engagemen in Syria,

which Washingon considers as one o he roo causes o emer-

gence o Daesh in ha counry. In ha sense, he erroris atacks

in Paris came as manna rom heaven or Tehran.” …

“To his end, Tehran keeps alive Daesh as a useul enemy,

which no only makes Bashar Assad appear as he lesser evil,bu also legiimizes Iran’s miliary inervenion in Syria and pro-

vides Presiden Rouhani wih access o European capials as a key

player in he conflic.” …

Iran was previously rejeced by he Wes as a major sake-

holder in Syria, bu ollowing he nuclear accord, ha percep-

ion seems o have changed, wih Tehran now siting a high-level

Syria alks in Vienna or he firs ime. …

Dina Esandiary, a MacArhur ellow a King’s College London,

said: “I hink Iran migh hink ha he Paris atacks give i an

upper hand over Syria because naurally i gives a litle bi more

credibiliy o he rheoric ha combaing is more imporan

han combaing Assad.” …

“So expec he Iranian nuclear negoiaions o go nowhere,

and expec Iran o increase is conrol over Iraq and is gov-

ernmen. Expec more chaos as Iran leverages is influence

hrough radical Islamic erroriss. And expec he “king of he

souh” o emerge subsanially empowered, awash wih more

oil, power and weapons han ever.”

Amid Terror Wave, UN Adops Six Resoluions—All Ani-IsraelArutz Sheva | November 25

I UN ,

as a campaign o daily Palesinian erroris atacks coninues

o arge Israelis, he Unied Naions General Assembly on Tues-

day adoped six resoluions—all o which, bar none, condemned

Israel.

No a single menion was made o he Palesinian atacks,

which have lef 22 Israelis dead and hundreds wounded, nor did

any oher counries—even serial human-righs violaors such as

Saudi Arabia, Iran, Russia and ohers—receive any o he General

Assembly’s atenion. More disurbingly sill, five o he res-

oluions were sponsored by he Palesinian Auhoriy, while he

sixh was sponsored by none oher han Bashar Assad’s regime

in Syria.

“Surreal barely capures he scene: The world is under assaul

by erroriss killing in he name o Islam and maryrhood—as

Palesinians did his week while sabbing Israeli Jews—and he

UN’s response is o reflexively condemn Israel in six separae res-

oluions, all o which are one-sided,” said Hillel Neuer, execuive

direcor o UN Wach, in response o he voes.

One resoluion condemned he Jewish sae or reaining

he Golan Heighs, demanding Israel hand i over o he Syrian

regime. …

Anoher voe—which passed 153 o 7—claimed ha Israel has

“no righ” o “impose” is sovereigny over “he Holy Ciy o Jeru-

salem.”

“I’s asonishing,” said Neuer. “A a ime when he Syrian

regime is massacring is own people, how can he UN call or

more people o be subjec o Assad’s rule? The iming is morally

galling and logically absurd.” …

Neuer accused he General Assembly o being hĳacked by an

“auomaic majoriy” o fiercely ani-Israel dicaorships.

“The arce a he General Assembly underscores a simple ac:

The UN’s auomaic majoriy has no ineres in ruly helping Pal-

esinians, nor in proecing anyone’s human righs; he goal o

hese riual, one-sided condemnaions remains he scapegoaing

o Israel,” he saed. …

niy o condemn he erroris atacks in Paris and douse he smol-

dering immigraion crisis in Ausralia.

Unorunaely, no such response was orhcoming. Insead,

Insead o uncondiionally condemning he atacks, he said

ha, in a way, hese atacks were jusified.

Boh hese elemens mus be undersood o really undersand

The “remaining” componen is he esablishmen o a pres-

less han one week afer gunmen sormed a hoel in Mali’s capial,

Opinion: Germany Seps Up Miliary Role Agains ‘I.S.’Nina Werkhäuser, Deutsche Welle, November 26

T F .

They have sruck a he hear o Europe, and now Europe is

sriking back wih all is migh. The batle agains he erroris

group “Islamic Sae” can only be won wih miliary acion, said

Angela Merkel on Wednesday in he German parliamen, he

Bundesag.

This commen caused people o si up and lisen atenively. So

ar, Germany has shied away rom direc miliary comba agains

[he Islamic Sae] and insead, backed Kurdish Peshmerga orces

in norhern Iraq. …

The new orienaion came afer French Presiden Hollande’surgen reques ha Germany do more. The chancellor did no

hesiae long, so in ha sense, she has shown rue solidariy

oward hard-hi riends in France. Has he German governmen

no always emphasized ha i does no wan o remain on he

sidelines in imes o grea crises? This saemen does no apply

sricly o he miliary—bu does, o course, include he miliary.

Now, he Bundeswehr will do is par o help figh he erroris

group. This is undersandable because Germany’s credibiliy is a

sake—bu i also comes as a surprise.

The German governmen has quickly pu ogeher a se o mil-

iary suppor measures or he ani-[Islamic Sae] alliance: Tor-

nados or reconnaissance, a navy rigae o proec French air-

craf carriers, and air-o-air reueling. … Sending ground roops

o Syria and launching air srikes on [he Islamic Sae] have been

ruled ou.

This planned mission is hus an offer ha France will grae-ully accep …. Germany is showing solidariy wih is allies,

bu also enering a dangerous dilemma: [The Islamic Sae] will

no be deeaed wihou miliary acion. And as miliary pres-

sure mouns on [he Islamic Sae], he hrea o erroris acs o

[T]he living memory o he is now ruly ading and he

naure o he —is peculiar awulness, is criminaliy, is su-

pidiy—is becoming harder and harder o explain. The sense o

being surrounded by lies; he underlying anxiey ha someone

migh be lisening or reporing on you; he consan, scream-

ing, inescapable propaganda; he sullenness o he crowds on

he Mero; he memories o mass error jus below he surace;

he useul idios and he cynical sycophans who suppored he

whole hing, boh in Russia and abroad; all o ha is now abso-

luely impossible o convey. …

My concern is he revival, wih amazing speed, o a belligerenRussian sae, one led by men who were augh and rained by he

Sovie sae and are hus prepared o use a amiliar blend o er-

ror, decepion and miliary orce o say in power. …

This became paenly clear in March 2014 jus afer he

Ukrainian revoluion …. On Ukraine’s Crimean Peninsula, “litle

green men,” as hey laer came o be called, suddenly appeared.

Equipped wih guns, wearing unmarked uniorms, and driving

unmarked miliary vehicles, hey began mehodically aking over

local governmen buildings and elevision saions. …

The Wesern reacion was one o conusion, amazemen, con-

sernaion. … I knew exacly who hey were: Russian Special

Forces. I knew i because hey looked, spoke and aced exacly

like he Sovie Special Forces—hen known as he —who

had enered Poland in 1939, he Balic saes in 1940, hen all o

Easern Europe in 1945. …

During he whole o is exisence, he never invaded

anoher counry; no, i merely came o he aid o oppressed

minoriies or raernal paries. Bu i never lef wihou impos-

ing—or, in Aghanisan, rying and ailing o impose—is own

oaliarian sysem. When he , laer known as he ,

crossed any border, i always arresed poenial dissidens, ook

over he media, shu down civic organizaions, naionalized com-

panies, and creaed he ear and povery ….

… Since he Crimean invasion, he Russians have advanced

ino easern Ukraine using similar acics. Adding a wis o he

narraive, hey have now enered he Syrian conflic oo, in ordero come o he aid o he raernal Assad regime. No only he

Unied Saes bu all o wha used o be called “he Wes” has been

flummoxed by hese moves, even hrown ino sraegic disarray.

And no wonder. In he quarer-cenury since he all o Commu-

nism, we’ve orgoten wha a cynical, unprincipled, auhoriarian

Russian regime looks like ….

… Russia is run by men who are deeply atached o he Sovie

ening experience o heir lives. Mos Wesern counries, by con-

ras, are run by men and women who hough ha he collapse

sagering. I pulls he average number o prescripions per per-

son up o 13.5.

These expensive drugs ofen provide users wih relie rom

some sympoms. Bu hey also presen a hos o healh risks.

Abou 16 percen o all hospial admissions are relaed o

adverse reacions o prescripion drugs. And pharmaceuicals—

used as prescribed—are he ourh-leading cause o deah or

Americans. Tha is 10 imes higher han he number o people

killed by illegal drugs.

In ligh o hese risks, here are some quesions paiens

should ask heir docors beore ollowing all recommendaions

o ake pharmaceuicals.

Firs, a paien should ask he docor abou a saisic called

he , or he “Number-Needed-o-Trea.” The describes

he number o people who need o ake a cerain drug in order or

one of them o be helped by i.

Consider he example o sain—a class o drugs rouinely pre-

scribed o lower choleserol levels. The or he mos widely

prescribed sain is a jaw-dropping 250. For every 250 people ak-

ing i, sain prevens only one person rom having adverse effecs.

Beore agreeing o a new prescripion, a paien should also

ask abou he side effecs and the percentage of people who suf-

fer from them.

To sick wih he example o sain, he side effecs are serious.

They include join pain, muscle pain and gasroinesinal disress.

These are known o affec abou 5 percen o people aking he drug.

I you add he side-effec percenage o he , you see ha

or every 250 people aking he mos widely prescribed sain,

jus one person is helped, while more han a dozen suffer awul

side effecs. This means each individual paien is 12.5 imes more

likely o be harmed han aided by he drug.

The hird quesion is wheher your docor is being paid by he

company making hese drugs. In 2012, pharmaceuical compa-

nies spen $3.5 billion on direc-o-consumer markeing. Tha

same year, hey spen $24 billion markeing direcly o healh-

care proessionals.
