WILLIAMS COLLEGE, MA - This week's Press Record podcast was a frightening revelation of the extent to which the campus climate is overwhelmingly biased against white men. At a special townhall meeting, members of the beleaguered College Council solicited comments from a crowd of about 40 students - many of whom were reportedly drinking beer or White Claw ® which is a hard seltzer that combines seltzer water, gluten free alcohol, and a hint of fruit flavor.
The most vocal complaint was that the College Council had too many whites on it and that too many of those whites were men. This complaint is similar to an earlier complaint by black student activist Isaiah Blake '21 who famously complained that following established procedures and CC's rules is "like sucking white dick everyday." Part of the problem, as I see it, is that black students like Blake have been requesting funds for what appears to be personal consumption expenses at black only events. Both personal use of funds and socially exclusive use of funds violate CC expectations.
This policy, enforced by the white male students, interferes with Blake's request: "We want some money to fucking cook some fried fucking chicken and be niggers for once."
Consistent with Williams Liberty's earlier prediction that black students would be pushing for more free money some participants in the townhall meeting went so far as to say that black and low-income students should be paid to sit on the student council. One student yelled out that the existing arrangement was "...bullshit, unfunded labor..." This trope was part of a common theme scene at Williams College and elsewhere in which black students assert they deserve more financial resources (free money) to compensate them for the extra costs they supposedly take on by simply being black in a predominately white institution.
There were calls, as well, for the CC to abolish itself. However, even this suggestion was used to further debase white men. It was even suggested that little progress would be made if the students transferred power from white male student leaders on the CC to white male administrators. Listening to the broadcast, it is clear that demonizing young white men is the order of the day at Williams College. Creating a hostile, anti-white male climate appears to be socially popular and informally enforced.
Personally, I found the comments at the townhall were chillingly reminiscent of the vicious anti-white tirade directed against white male students at the April 9, 2019 College Council meeting.
