This episode changed the way I donate to my alma mater universities. Since Berkeley leaders are tolerating anti-semitism on campus I'm donating to the Hillel on campus instead of the school. Thanks for such a thoughtful take on a complex issue.
It’s the double standard, the hypocrisy that is so frustrating. But it’s the threat to free speech that results from the hypocrisy that is absolutely unforgivable.
It's not hypocrisy to them. The one and only principle of the left is that everything they believe must be celebrated and everything they disagree with must be punished. They only fall back on the principles we hold, such as free speech, when they need to defend their indefensible positions in front of rational people. This is crucial for us to understand.
@@aperson9847 "everything they believe must be celebrated and everything they disagree with must be punished" Yep, we have Herbert Marcuse to thank for this.
The university Presidents should have defended their students and told the congressional moron that no one is calling for the genocide of anyone. It’s a right wing scam to put words into someone’s mouth by asking if you are against something. The only right answer to say no one is calling for the genocide of anyone and you refuse to let the congressional moron put words in their mouth. DEI has nothing to do with genocide.
DEI underpins the multi-racial coalition that keeps Dems in power in large cities in the US and nationally. Without DEI the coalition will collapse and GOP candidates will win. Bari doesn't talk about political implications of DEI. Universities serve the needs of this coalition.

I was in University in Canada in the early 90's and this was well underway then. The majority female tenured faculty with a female president were telling the majority female student body that there was a full-on patriarchy that prevented women from achieving their goals. If I wrote anything counter to this notion I would have failed
Same in Griffith Uni in Australia. I did a Law Degree in early "2000". WE had about 10 lecturers and there was 89 admin staff. I asked the prettiest Sheila there about them all being feminists and she said "That's the way we set it up". Most of the women ended up defending possums and perverts.

I have been pushing back for the last ten years. Most of my liberal Jewish friends kept saying that I was over reacting. I told them study history - its happening again. They just couldn't say anything because they were just too polite. They are all coming back to me asking what now? I will be sending this video to them to get the dialogue going Thanks so much for this!!!
It seems to be an issue with liberals that they don't learn from history, or think they can do better, this time. Though it seems the pro Hamas demonstratons have opened some eyes.
@@rt-uh6mt It's less irony, and more deflection. Look at how the ar abs stole Jewish land, yet accuse Jews of stealing the Jewish homeland. Look at how arabs oppress the indigenous people, of the lands they've colonized, yet accuse an indigenous people, that gets a fraction of their land back, oppressors.
How deep is the brainwashing when the very term 'Antisemitic' is now ANTISEMITIC? Semites are people who speak Semitic languages. Judaism or Zionism is non Semitism, and being anti these philosophies is not antisemitic. Being against both Jews and ARABS just because of their Semitic language use is antisemitic... Claiming being anti the Israeli military occupation of Palestine as 'antisemitic' is antisemitic as Arabs are the majority of Semites in the Palestine/Israel. Giving Jews exclusive use of the technical term Semite / Semitic is ANTISEMITIC... If you can prove otherwise let me know, brainwashing victim... Just take you head out of Zionism's arse and admit it's a genocidal, evil force with more akin to Nazism's love of Lebensraum for the Chosen People.
Care to fully elaborate? Not all of us know everything about everyone, so when countering someone’s comments, one should provide a smidge of facts. Example: “In 2013, she _____. I find that hypocritical.” That will set you apart from the DEI cult and lend credibility.
If you want to end DEI, then you HAVE to vote against Kamala Harris, since she didn't even win the vote from her party. She go shoed in by a last minute bait-and-switch with Biden. We all saw it coming.
Wow you really said intellectual intelligence as if it meant something. Bari's speech was similar nonsense, desperately avoiding the real issue behind these "antisemitic" protests.
@@andrewsmith694 The Zionist movement is disingenuous from inception. There is absolutely nothing honest about it. Early Zionists even separated themselves by race , being Russian/Eastern European they despised Arabs who they called Jews, they were no longer Jewish, they were Zionists. They learned pidgin Hebrew to cosplay Semitic. They never even thought of settling in Palestine until the British started shoving them there to get them out of the UK. I have even been in arguments with them over Herzl not being Hungarian, like being Austrian makes him more racially pure. My Slav grandparents and dad would do this kind of thing too, they were really Austrian when they saw the opportunity to bring it up. This kind of nationalism is kind of stupid and neither intellectual or intelligent, but once people try to up hold lies as truth the ball of deception starts to grow until its a justification for genocide.
DEI is about hiding the truth. What's that? Some groups do far better, than others. Like Jewish people have a lot of billionaires. Most DEI was aimed against straight white Christian men. That's when it was acceptable to Bari Weiss. But an unintended effect of DEI is this: If you go looking to level all economic differences, education differences, it's actually true, some groups do much better than others. Such as Bari's ethnic group. So DEI is starting to come after the Jewish people now, which is a tragedy and an unintended consequence of DEI. Also, that's the line that must never be crossed for the elites. It's OK for Harvard to attack white Christian males as being the source of all evil. That institutional anti-white racism is acceptable at liberal colleges like Harvard, or to past-Bari. But DEI also encourages the oppressor/oppressed narrative. (which was created mostly by Jewish intellectuals like Marx and Michel Foucault.) And so the DEI liberal crowd turned on Israel and considers Jews 'oppressors'. Which is bunk. Support Israel.
@@TimBitts649 Israel is an oppressor state, Jews have dogma that defines them as the oppressors. Jewish intellectuals have always looked down on the rest of humanity as sub-human. I don't support Israel, they are a first world nation, they can fight their own wars, I simply do not care about Jews.
@@TimBitts649 Perhaps a minor point, but according to Wikipedia Foucault was raised as a "nominal" Catholic. So maybe that oppressor/oppressed narrative wasn't the creation of just Jewish intellectuals. Which is not to say that I think Jews are oppressors, On the contrary, I agree with you that that assessment is "bunk."
@@kensheck2049 Christianity and Judaism have alot in common, obviously. The moral objections to power inequalities are rooted in Jewish and Christian views of morals, which have similar theology roots. Since Jews were historically abused in Europe, Jewish people emphasized fairness and compassion more than Christians did. The communists wanted a more moral world, thought it would come through moral action. It's coming more through technology instead. Richard Dawkins noted 25 percent of Nobel Sciences went to Jews. So they contributed hugely to a better world despite the errors of communism and post modernism.
Tulsi Gabbard is a national hero. The lady that mindlessly repeated democrat establishment talking points without even thinking about it is no. Weiss was a tool for the establishment that created DEI when everyone with a brain was trying to warn people about it, and NOW he's a hero? Yah, hardley. About 6 years too late to the party.
Keep in mind, DEI originally emerged from the adoption of Marxist ideology by women's studies departments. There is no escaping the historical facts. The pattern of totalitarianism always begins with a narrative of class-based oppression. Those classes can be male/female, rich/poor, races, Western/non-western, genders, or any combination thereof. There is no way to end DEI without purging the disciplines that created and propagated it. Not only must they be defunded, but the advocates must be trained to recognize why it is antisocial bigotry.
@@ramcduffThe entire framework of all Women’s/Gender Studies teaching is couched in Post Modernist language which comes from adopting Marxist language and theories.
@@kevinkasp Not to my knowledge or experience - of which I have quite a lot. So, your assertion does not make it so. I think the origins of "woke" comes from many different strands as several books on the subject have shown. But, no matter - I think we can agree on Bari's analysis
I think the disciplines aren't the root cancer. They are the structure built by the problem: Hegel's Dialectic and Gnosticism. It's the reason why the body-count of the Left towers over that of the Right in the 20th century. Extreme Right runs out of identity markers to liquidate whereas the Extreme Left always has a fresh supply of minds to eliminate.
She had the larger stage and used it to promote these same ideologies she is trying to rally against now. Why would you want to give her more of an arena to speak? Did you not watch the Rogan interview she did when she was working at the NYT?
🙄 She _had_ the country's largest journalistic stage at the New York Times! I used to read her pieces five or six years ago and believe me, she's one of the people who got us into this sorry situation. In fairness, she was closer to the political center than most of her colleagues dared reveal themselves to be, but she certainly never came out saying anything like _DEI must end!_ She was often critical of The Times' and the left's worst excesses, I'll give her that.
@@dixonpinfold2582well maybe she "saw the light" finally? Anyway I'm glad shes speaking up now but I know she will make many enemies in doing so. People change you know. I was a leftist until I was in my 30s. Now at nearly 40 I see the world in a much different light. I cant believe I once stood up for madness like that. So yeah maybe she just realized this ideology is bad for all of us.
@cecebarnes, UA-cam et al. contributed to this rot by caving to the mob and suppressing speech. Their echo chamber algorithm silos prevented knowledge of the ideological threat from being recognized by the public at large. It's going to be significantly more challenging to address this problem because the response is late to arrive. They've unapologetically kowtowed to governments and censored medical experts without any consequences. They should be held accountable through regulation and/or be stripped of the privileges they enjoy, that other private companies do not.
Thank you for this! I have been teaching at a university for 25 years and a job that I used to love has turned into keeping my head down and just getting through each term unscathed - without being attacked by some ideological bully looking for any opportunity to demonstrate the latest moral outrage. It's dire. At a recent meeting it was decided that all courses in the department would be taught "through the lens of de-colonization". One lens! Imagine!
This is totalitarianism. In communist Cuba they did the same where even in Math classes you had to push in the government ideology. I never ever thought things like this would happen in USA.
I work for one of the 'big three' educational textbook publishers. We are working on the Texas science adoption right now. The 'true believers' in wokeism are hard at work 'decolonizing' the content.

Also, I'm at the last pass on some content so I can revert the 'they and them' BS to he and her. i will NOT play nice with the communists.
Time to replace the academic-sounding -- and therefore weak and wishy-washy -- word "anti-Semitism" with a plain English description of what it is: anti-Jewish racism, or simply "Jew-hatred." The left have constantly been telling us how "hate" and above all "racism" are the prime evils in this world: it's time to co-opt their terminology. What's good for the goose is good for the gander.
Oh really ? Try being amerindian in Canada. The world famous RCMP , a paramilitary organization, was created to go into other people's lands and commit genocidal acts upon civilians. And it still goes on here . Thanks for your words . Keep them
Bari, the name of the town my father was born in Italy. Very well done. As a first-generation Roman Catholic I grew in an area that was predominantly Jewish. But we all got along. I went to my friends bar mitzvah and they went to our events. But we all got along. I knew some of the elderly who had numbers tattooed on their arms and we knew how they spent their youth. My father fought in WW2 as an American GI in Europe who helped liberate some of those camps. My mother told me "son never forget that Jesus was a Jew." So it is impossible for me to be anti-semitic. I remember going to Hebrew Day Camp and being allowed to do so. My fondest memories are from that time. Thank you for saying what must be said.
Have you ever heard the terminally woke speak? It 100% won't change their unshakeable confidence in their dogmatic righteousness. DEI is effectively an attempt to combat discrimination by using different discrimination...what could possibly go wrong?! These neo-Marxist virtue-signalling buffoons are supercilious & sanctimonious lost causes!
I think she gave up her job because she values truth. A person who values truth and will discuss/debate about it makes her extraordinarily valuable to us all.

"DEI demonizes, hardwork, merit, family, and the dignity of the individual - all virtues that are the foundation of what makes America exceptional." Well said, Ms. Weiss ❤
All of these people kept silent when they where persecuting white people. This has been going on for years and years whilst the Jews kept voting for it and supporting the anti white hatred in our own countries. Now they are getting what they voted for and what they ignored for so many years. When the Nazis came for the Jews white people protected the Jews. When the Jewish led Marxists came for the white people, the Jews cowered and supported the Marxists. Now they are desperate for the whites to defend them because the Marxists are turning on the Jews due to their Jihadi allies.
I like how this has been going on against people who are right wing Christians for decades now but all of a sudden since it’s juice it’s a huge issue. Where was the concern before? We were called conspiracy theorists or over reacting…. The concern now falls flat, sorry.
@@GlynDwr-d4h pretty convenient all of this, huh? Same time as Iran gets billions. A cynic would say maybe it was a payment to set the whole thing up. A cynic could see how the powers of Israel, US, and Iran all benefit from this skirmish. Edit: not me, I’m not a cynic. I would never question our leadership.
The advocates of DEI would likely push back in the standard way. Pretty much EVERY group with an authoritarian bent looks back at the past, sees dozens of authoritarian monsters and then differentiates themselves on the notion "but we're right" - ignoring the last hundred groups that said "but we're right". If you view yourself as omniscient and so moral that you view yourself as 99% the messiah, then why wouldn't you do whatever the hell you want? If you counter with "what if you're wrong?", they can respond with "but we're not". To that thinking, McCarthyism wasn't wrong at a level of principle, it was just wrong because it wasn't wielded by them. The tools of oppression (censorship, blacklisting, favoritism, double standards, power, etc) aren't innately wrong, but can simply be redeployed. To any reasonable person, if your behavior mimics totalitarian regimes or mobs, the symmetry would cause you to feel waves of shame or engage in sincere self examination. The premise of a lot of thought is often captured in the idea of "let he who is without sin cast the first stone". Being realistic, a decent swathe of student bodies of major universities would - when confronted with the idea of humility - immediately start looking around for a rock (and a jagged one at that). Maybe they'd retort with "The ends justifies the means. Viva la revolución!"
@@afourthposition There may be grains of truth in what you say, and to the extent there are, I say two wrongs don’t make a right. Your position is way over the top to me.
@@afourthposition you're horrendously overgeneralizing. There're different people among jews as much as among any other ethnic group.

According to my observation, the vast majority of jews are with this speaker, and you have no reason whatsoever to harbor a collective grunge against them.
Bari did not just start talking about this regressive ideology. She has been doing it for years. It is unfair to say this just because you aren't familiar with her work or others of the Jewish community.@@afourthposition
Thank you for explaining what has been happening in schools to those of us who have been away from schools for so long. All the pieces are falling into place for me now. Thank you for your voice.
DEI has also made its way into the union movement. Instead of seeking solidarity and reinforcing the idea that a member is a member is a member, many unions, especially teacher unions have embraced DEI. This is dividing members, compromising contracts (especially clauses regarding discipline without just cause), and compromising basic principles of equality . DEI: Division, Exclusion, Intolerance
This stuff was staged and implemented in places like the teachers union. They were our first line of defense and they betrayed us. The whole union needs to be dismantled and it's members should largely never be involved in education again. They are either corrupt or useless in opposing corruption, either way, they need to go.
Absolutely. DEI doesn't lead to equality or even equitiy. It poses that society doesn't consists of people who all have the same rights, but that there's so much systematic oppression that this can only be solved by giving preferential treatment to the oppressed based on race, gender, sexuality, abilities, etc. So instead of treating everyone fairly as equals, we put in place a system that categorizes everyon in good or bad based on genetic qualifiers. It creates divisions within groups who would otherwise be united. It sets up people against each other: non whites vs whites, gay vs hetero, trans vs cis, handicapped vs ablebodied, obese vs non-obese. etc. It creates a 1984 like society where speech has to be monitored, because wrongspeak (like saying there are two biological sexes or being fat is unhealthy) causes hurt and opporesses and must therefore be made illegal.
I was a popular theater professor at USC for 31 years and saw my job become less and less about my art & profession and more and more about DEI over the last decade that I taught there. Our faculty meetings were never about the theater and always about equity, diversity and inclusion. I got to hate those meetings and to enjoy my job less and less, until I retired in 2017, and I have never missed a day of teaching since. I recognized that it was about the university turning into a DEI fortress, but I couldn’t articulate or anticipate the ramifications DEI would have for our society or country at the time. All I knew is that I wanted to have nothing more to do with it So Bari’s podcast here articulates the ramifications of what it’s come to. I’m Jewish by culture, not by practice, but my experience at the University had nothing to do with my Judaism, but everything to do with my profession and personal experience. Thanks for articulating this, Bari.
you were a terrible professor if you write this mess. 31 years would put you in your 60's to 70's so you grew up when Black people were discriminated against, could not get housing, equal justice, jobs, etc...and you could benefit from society for merely existing. glad you retired and people like you disappear: the people who benefited from an unjust society complaining about groups who want the same chances you were given.
We are not all equal. The Jews don't care about anyone else being oppressed or persecuted but they expect everyone to drop everything when they are inconvenienced. The Jews have been voting to flood our countries with Muslims and racist blacks. They even got the Chinese against the white people in whom's nations they all live better lives than in their own respective nations...
Like the Obama's new movie, 'Leave the World Behind'... That line "Our trust cannot be dolled out so easily, ESPECIALLY when it comes to white people!"... Could you imagine the backlash if Trump produced a movie with a similar line about black people?!? OMG! We would NEVER hear the end of it...
@bliglum 'the least capable is always the least culpable' is a guiding principle for them. They call it things like 'repressive tolerance'... but really it's just bigotry of low expectations... particularly when it's practitioners are racial collectivists.
Thoughtful and intelligent argument. I’m with you all the way. Been fighting DEI and positive discrimination for years and banished it from my company entirely.
@@ShannonBarber78 I remember a few years ago, she had an interview with Rogan (I think) talking about Tulsey Gabbert in which she said all the typical liberal opposition, and Jimmy Dore had a wonderful take down of it.
How so? Are you saying that all three professors got their jobs because they are women? Did she get her job because she is a woman? It seems like she was talking about at least two different topics DEI and antisemitism and though she mentions both in the same thought, I don't see the connection between DEI and the three college presidents who spoke before Congress. I think this is just another female flapping her chops and throwing in everything, including the kitchen sink. I clearly support Israel BTW. The Arab League's expansion in Africa (Sudan, Ethiopia is coming next) is a greater danger than who is living in Israel today.
eh Bari was a voter who voted for all this nonsense you see. Watch her Joe Rogan interview. She was the liberal mouthpiece that helped kick start all of this. Now that she sees the pendulum of popular opinion swinging toward conservatism, she all the sudden is a Patriot. /laugh no thanks Grifter.
Bari, thanks for your articulate statements, a beautiful contrast to the group think posturing of three avatars. As a professor of theology, let me add that DEI craves social atonement, but is horrified by forgiveness--it simply doesn't compute. That doesn't bode well. This means we are only left with what time can heal, without any moral foundation. A DEI culture wants protest without closure, and revolution, not reconciliation. It will take three generations to detox what left a prior generation drunk.
This is an extremely complex issue. When you spoke about the fact that there is a war on competent and successful people and it affects people of all ethnic backgrounds, that is the absolute truth. As a black woman who is accomplished professionally and educationally, I am attacked all the time, starting with some people in my own community. It is a known fact that you are teased if you are "smart" and live a straight and narrow life in the black community. Additionally, people outside my community can see me as problematic due to that same reason because I don't fit the standards of what they see as a stereotypical black woman. As a teacher, I know this boils down to the expectations being so low for our students and for society as a whole. We don't teach the ideals of working hard and doing your best anymore, so those who do it, from all ethnic backgrounds, can be seen as public enemy number one. We gave away too many participation trophies. Everyone from Bezos to the local nurse can be seen as problematic simply because of their personal accomplishments. This idea connects to DEI because there is a push for the disenfranchised to have a seat at the table just because they are disenfranchised. But those disenfranchised people have to have the qualifications to actually solve the problems. There is a need to address the inequalities that people face, but the current incarnation of DEI isn't doing it. I worked in HR with the DEI program that was nothing but fluff. People of color, including myself, experienced racism and left the company. We need to have people of all backgrounds who are qualified come to the table and create effective policies that speaks to the needs of everyone. That is going to take intelligence, honesty and tons of hard work.
Well said. Too many kids grow up thinking unrealistic notions that their only hope for success in adulthood lies in athletics, music, crime, or childbirth.
Well said. The American black community has special challenges because it has internalized that achievement in fields other than entertainment, sports and fashion is somehow being anti black. But the biggest obstacle (in my opinion) for black Americans is the notion that blacks’ highest allegiance should be to black Americans. And this terrible idea is further enabled and reinforced (and cheered on) by white liberals. And white liberals are who blacks get validation from. Any other ethnicity, Filipino, Korean, etc., that emigrates into the U.S., you can guarantee their grandchildren won’t say they are Filipino or Korean. Instead they’ll say they are American but their grandparents came over from the Philippines or Korea. They won’t feel compelled to talk, dress, dance, associate with, vote, in solidarity with other Filipinos or Koreans. They won’t be wringing their hands or yelling about Filipino or Korean men or women marrying outside their race. They will instead judge and do things according to what is simply right or best for themselves, their family, and for society overall. If all immigration stopped today, within three or four generations there would only be two ethnic groups in the U.S.: blacks and everyone else (who have married into every other blending of ethnicities). All four of my father’s grandparents immigrated from Germany. Both of his parents, despite be born in the U.S. learned German as their first language. Yet not one of my father’s siblings or himself married a German American because he felt some kind of ethnic obligation. My father married a brown islander from Guam, his older brother married a woman from Peru, another married a woman from Panama. Myself and my four siblings are married to a Filipino, a Japanese, a Canadian, and a Pacific Islander. In each case we met someone, became attracted to that person, and fell in love. It is impossible in my family to adopt any notion of ethnic allegiance. We are citizens of humanity and the world. I think that is how you end racial and ethnic “us versus them” thinking. So in my opinion, the NAACP’s main goal should be to work to end the need for its existence.
Thank you, Bari, for your wisdom and for your leadership. Thank you also for your great team of writers at The Free Press. All of you help to keep my mind and my heart open. But, most important, The Free Press continues to give me reason not to lose hope in humanity.

Spot on. I call DEI: Delusions, Exclusions and Ignorance. The way I see it, DEI's idea of anti-bias is not strengthening diversity and inclusion, but rather reinforcing the inclusion of one community at the expense of another. The thought of marginalizing the majority in order to include the minority is mind boggling.

It’s the double standard, the hypocrisy that is so frustrating. But it’s the threat to free speech that results from the hypocrisy that is absolutely unforgivable.
Well said!
It's not hypocrisy to them. The one and only principle of the left is that everything they believe must be celebrated and everything they disagree with must be punished. They only fall back on the principles we hold, such as free speech, when they need to defend their indefensible positions in front of rational people. This is crucial for us to understand.
@@aperson9847 "everything they believe must be celebrated and everything they disagree with must be punished"
Yep, we have Herbert Marcuse to thank for this.
The university Presidents should have defended their students and told the congressional moron that no one is calling for the genocide of anyone. It’s a right wing scam to put words into someone’s mouth by asking if you are against something. The only right answer to say no one is calling for the genocide of anyone and you refuse to let the congressional moron put words in their mouth.
DEI has nothing to do with genocide.

Miss Weiss, it is a pleasure to listen to you. You are clear and very informative. Thank you!!!
Well said. Diversity of thought. Freedom of thought. Not systematic brainwashing
How deep is the brainwashing when the very term 'Antisemitic' is now ANTISEMITIC? Semites are people who speak Semitic languages. Judaism or Zionism is non Semitism, and being anti these philosophies is not antisemitic. Being against both Jews and ARABS just because of their Semitic language use is antisemitic... Claiming being anti the Israeli military occupation of Palestine as 'antisemitic' is antisemitic as Arabs are the majority of Semites in the Palestine/Israel. Giving Jews exclusive use of the technical term Semite / Semitic is ANTISEMITIC... If you can prove otherwise let me know, brainwashing victim... Just take you head out of Zionism's arse and admit it's a genocidal, evil force with more akin to Nazism's love of Lebensraum for the Chosen People.
"Diversity of thought" = white nationalism, kind of strange....

Keep speaking out, Bari. Normal people are finally waking up to the hate and evil being “preached” in schools and by our politicians.
Remember when she was trying to cancel one of her professors years back? Hypocrite
Care to fully elaborate? Not all of us know everything about everyone, so when countering someone’s comments, one should provide a smidge of facts. Example: “In 2013, she _____. I find that hypocritical.” That will set you apart from the DEI cult and lend credibility.

What a fantastic monologue! So well articulated and insight to consider. Thank you for all you do Bari!
Amen. God bless you, Bari. Thank you for using your outstanding talent to communicate the truth with strength and clarity.
Thank you so much for speaking up, Bari. This is not only an American problem! A listener from inside the Austrian academy.
If you want to end DEI, then you HAVE to vote against Kamala Harris, since she didn't even win the vote from her party. She go shoed in by a last minute bait-and-switch with Biden. We all saw it coming.
Yes. This is moral and intellectual intelligence at its best. Thank you, Bari. You are not alone!
Yes, lots of Zionist trash about.
Wow you really said intellectual intelligence as if it meant something.
Bari's speech was similar nonsense, desperately avoiding the real issue behind these "antisemitic" protests.
@@andrewsmith694 The Zionist movement is disingenuous from inception. There is absolutely nothing honest about it. Early Zionists even separated themselves by race , being Russian/Eastern European they despised Arabs who they called Jews, they were no longer Jewish, they were Zionists. They learned pidgin Hebrew to cosplay Semitic. They never even thought of settling in Palestine until the British started shoving them there to get them out of the UK. I have even been in arguments with them over Herzl not being Hungarian, like being Austrian makes him more racially pure. My Slav grandparents and dad would do this kind of thing too, they were really Austrian when they saw the opportunity to bring it up. This kind of nationalism is kind of stupid and neither intellectual or intelligent, but once people try to up hold lies as truth the ball of deception starts to grow until its a justification for genocide.
DEI is institutional racism.
Created by Larry Fink and Blackrock.
DEI is about hiding the truth. What's that? Some groups do far better, than others. Like Jewish people have a lot of billionaires. Most DEI was aimed against straight white Christian men. That's when it was acceptable to Bari Weiss.
But an unintended effect of DEI is this: If you go looking to level all economic differences, education differences, it's actually true, some groups do much better than others. Such as Bari's ethnic group. So DEI is starting to come after the Jewish people now, which is a tragedy and an unintended consequence of DEI.
Also, that's the line that must never be crossed for the elites. It's OK for Harvard to attack white Christian males as being the source of all evil. That institutional anti-white racism is acceptable at liberal colleges like Harvard, or to past-Bari.
But DEI also encourages the oppressor/oppressed narrative. (which was created mostly by Jewish intellectuals like Marx and Michel Foucault.) And so the DEI liberal crowd turned on Israel and considers Jews 'oppressors'. Which is bunk. Support Israel.
@@TimBitts649 Israel is an oppressor state, Jews have dogma that defines them as the oppressors.
Jewish intellectuals have always looked down on the rest of humanity as sub-human.
I don't support Israel, they are a first world nation, they can fight their own wars, I simply do not care about Jews.
@@TimBitts649 Perhaps a minor point, but according to Wikipedia Foucault was raised as a "nominal" Catholic. So maybe that oppressor/oppressed narrative wasn't the creation of just Jewish intellectuals.
Which is not to say that I think Jews are oppressors, On the contrary, I agree with you that that assessment is "bunk."
@@kensheck2049 Christianity and Judaism have alot in common, obviously. The moral objections to power inequalities are rooted in Jewish and Christian views of morals, which have similar theology roots. Since Jews were historically abused in Europe, Jewish people emphasized fairness and compassion more than Christians did. The communists wanted a more moral world, thought it would come through moral action. It's coming more through technology instead. Richard Dawkins noted 25 percent of Nobel Sciences went to Jews. So they contributed hugely to a better world despite the errors of communism and post modernism.
You hit the nail on the head with the word "newspeak".
I’m so grateful to you for taking a brave stand for quite some time against DEI, woke, cancel culture & censorship. You’re a national hero.
Tulsi Gabbard is a national hero. The lady that mindlessly repeated democrat establishment talking points without even thinking about it is no. Weiss was a tool for the establishment that created DEI when everyone with a brain was trying to warn people about it, and NOW he's a hero? Yah, hardley. About 6 years too late to the party.
Yeah, and all it took was for her to personally be impacted by it. So brave.
16:10-17:15 is gold.
@BoneyParkerwhen she was fired from the NYT
She's a toady.
Keep in mind, DEI originally emerged from the adoption of Marxist ideology by women's studies departments. There is no escaping the historical facts. The pattern of totalitarianism always begins with a narrative of class-based oppression. Those classes can be male/female, rich/poor, races, Western/non-western, genders, or any combination thereof. There is no way to end DEI without purging the disciplines that created and propagated it. Not only must they be defunded, but the advocates must be trained to recognize why it is antisocial bigotry.
What is your proof of this alleged "fact".
Erudite explanation. Love it. True words 🖖
@@ramcduffThe entire framework of all Women’s/Gender Studies teaching is couched in Post Modernist language which comes from adopting Marxist language and theories.
@@kevinkasp Not to my knowledge or experience - of which I have quite a lot. So, your assertion does not make it so. I think the origins of "woke" comes from many different strands as several books on the subject have shown. But, no matter - I think we can agree on Bari's analysis
I think the disciplines aren't the root cancer. They are the structure built by the problem: Hegel's Dialectic and Gnosticism. It's the reason why the body-count of the Left towers over that of the Right in the 20th century. Extreme Right runs out of identity markers to liquidate whereas the Extreme Left always has a fresh supply of minds to eliminate.
Bari is such an important voice in America. She needs a larger stage! So well said.
She had the larger stage and used it to promote these same ideologies she is trying to rally against now. Why would you want to give her more of an arena to speak? Did you not watch the Rogan interview she did when she was working at the NYT?
🙄 She _had_ the country's largest journalistic stage at the New York Times! I used to read her pieces five or six years ago and believe me, she's one of the people who got us into this sorry situation. In fairness, she was closer to the political center than most of her colleagues dared reveal themselves to be, but she certainly never came out saying anything like _DEI must end!_ She was often critical of The Times' and the left's worst excesses, I'll give her that.

Their echo chamber algorithm silos prevented knowledge of the ideological threat from being recognized by the public at large.

Thank you for this! I have been teaching at a university for 25 years and a job that I used to love has turned into keeping my head down and just getting through each term unscathed - without being attacked by some ideological bully looking for any opportunity to demonstrate the latest moral outrage. It's dire. At a recent meeting it was decided that all courses in the department would be taught "through the lens of de-colonization". One lens! Imagine!
Yikes
That is ridiculous
This is totalitarianism. In communist Cuba they did the same where even in Math classes you had to push in the government ideology. I never ever thought things like this would happen in USA.
It's a minefield out there. I would get fired immediately if I suggested promotion based on merit rather than DEI policy.
I work for one of the 'big three' educational textbook publishers. We are working on the Texas science adoption right now. The 'true believers' in wokeism are hard at work 'decolonizing' the content. I have refused to delete the names of European scientists who made significant contributions. Also, I'm at the last pass on some content so I can revert the 'they and them' BS to he and her. i will NOT play nice with the communists.
I've always felt this way, and certainly since October 7, but never knew how to put it such sharp words.

Calling for genocide of any ethnic group is unacceptable
Time to replace the academic-sounding -- and therefore weak and wishy-washy -- word "anti-Semitism" with a plain English description of what it is: anti-Jewish racism, or simply "Jew-hatred." The left have constantly been telling us how "hate" and above all "racism" are the prime evils in this world: it's time to co-opt their terminology. What's good for the goose is good for the gander.
Joe Biden was celebrating the decresing white people in the US why isn't that called genocide?
Or any group.
Or countries like Israel committing one of the worst levels of genocid against the Palestinians in modern history. Disgusting.
Oh really ? Try being amerindian in Canada. The world famous RCMP , a paramilitary organization, was created to go into other people's lands and commit genocidal acts upon civilians. And it still goes on here . Thanks for your words . Keep them
Thank you. This is exactly what ran through my mind when i watch the hearing. So many incredible accademics have been sacked and defamed.
Bari, the name of the town my father was born in Italy. Very well done. As a first-generation Roman Catholic I grew in an area that was predominantly Jewish. But we all got along. I went to my friends bar mitzvah and they went to our events. But we all got along. I knew some of the elderly who had numbers tattooed on their arms and we knew how they spent their youth. My father fought in WW2 as an American GI in Europe who helped liberate some of those camps. My mother told me "son never forget that Jesus was a Jew." So it is impossible for me to be anti-semitic. I remember going to Hebrew Day Camp and being allowed to do so. My fondest memories are from that time. Thank you for saying what must be said.
Good bless you

DEI is what White Jazz musicians back in the 1950s/60s called "Crow Jim". (REF: Art Pepper)
All of these people kept silent when they where persecuting white people.
This has been going on for years and years whilst the Jews kept voting for it and supporting the anti white hatred in our own countries.
Now they are getting what they voted for and what they ignored for so many years.
When the Nazis came for the Jews white people protected the Jews.
When the Jewish led Marxists came for the white people, the Jews cowered and supported the Marxists.
Now they are desperate for the whites to defend them because the Marxists are turning on the Jews due to their Jihadi allies.

Thank you. A very clear, but actually understated, push back against the evils of DEI.
The advocates of DEI would likely push back in the standard way. Pretty much EVERY group with an authoritarian bent looks back at the past, sees dozens of authoritarian monsters and then differentiates themselves on the notion "but we're right" - ignoring the last hundred groups that said "but we're right". If you view yourself as omniscient and so moral that you view yourself as 99% the messiah, then why wouldn't you do whatever the hell you want? If you counter with "what if you're wrong?", they can respond with "but we're not". To that thinking, McCarthyism wasn't wrong at a level of principle, it was just wrong because it wasn't wielded by them. The tools of oppression (censorship, blacklisting, favoritism, double standards, power, etc) aren't innately wrong, but can simply be redeployed.
To any reasonable person, if your behavior mimics totalitarian regimes or mobs, the symmetry would cause you to feel waves of shame or engage in sincere self examination. The premise of a lot of thought is often captured in the idea of "let he who is without sin cast the first stone". Being realistic, a decent swathe of student bodies of major universities would - when confronted with the idea of humility - immediately start looking around for a rock (and a jagged one at that). Maybe they'd retort with "The ends justifies the means. Viva la revolución!"

Thank you for explaining what has been happening in schools to those of us who have been away from schools for so long. All the pieces are falling into place for me now. Thank you for your voice.
DEI has also made its way into the union movement. Instead of seeking solidarity and reinforcing the idea that a member is a member is a member, many unions, especially teacher unions have embraced DEI. This is dividing members, compromising contracts (especially clauses regarding discipline without just cause), and compromising basic principles of equality .
DEI: Division, Exclusion, Intolerance
It's everywhere. That's the problem.
It's where I work too. I don't think people realize how widespread this actually is.
This is what you get when you see people as classes or categories instead of as individuals.
This stuff was staged and implemented in places like the teachers union. They were our first line of defense and they betrayed us. The whole union needs to be dismantled and it's members should largely never be involved in education again. They are either corrupt or useless in opposing corruption, either way, they need to go.
Absolutely. DEI doesn't lead to equality or even equitiy. It poses that society doesn't consists of people who all have the same rights, but that there's so much systematic oppression that this can only be solved by giving preferential treatment to the oppressed based on race, gender, sexuality, abilities, etc. So instead of treating everyone fairly as equals, we put in place a system that categorizes everyon in good or bad based on genetic qualifiers. It creates divisions within groups who would otherwise be united. It sets up people against each other: non whites vs whites, gay vs hetero, trans vs cis, handicapped vs ablebodied, obese vs non-obese. etc. It creates a 1984 like society where speech has to be monitored, because wrongspeak (like saying there are two biological sexes or being fat is unhealthy) causes hurt and opporesses and must therefore be made illegal.
I was a popular theater professor at USC for 31 years and saw my job become less and less about my art & profession and more and more about DEI over the last decade that I taught there. Our faculty meetings were never about the theater and always about equity, diversity and inclusion. I got to hate those meetings and to enjoy my job less and less, until I retired in 2017, and I have never missed a day of teaching since.
I recognized that it was about the university turning into a DEI fortress, but I couldn’t articulate or anticipate the ramifications DEI would have for our society or country at the time. All I knew is that I wanted to have nothing more to do with it
So Bari’s podcast here articulates the ramifications of what it’s come to. I’m Jewish by culture, not by practice, but my experience at the University had nothing to do with my Judaism, but everything to do with my profession and personal experience.
Thanks for articulating this, Bari.

If a white man couldn't say such things about black people, then isn't that the end of it, if we are all truly equal?
We aren't equal it goes from bottom to top white people, diversity, jews.
We are not all equal.
The Jews don't care about anyone else being oppressed or persecuted but they expect everyone to drop everything when they are inconvenienced.
The Jews have been voting to flood our countries with Muslims and racist blacks. They even got the Chinese against the white people in whom's nations they all live better lives than in their own respective nations...
Like the Obama's new movie, 'Leave the World Behind'... That line "Our trust cannot be dolled out so easily, ESPECIALLY when it comes to white people!"...

Bari, thanks for your articulate statements, a beautiful contrast to the group think posturing of three avatars. As a professor of theology, let me add that DEI craves social atonement, but is horrified by forgiveness--it simply doesn't compute. That doesn't bode well. This means we are only left with what time can heal, without any moral foundation. A DEI culture wants protest without closure, and revolution, not reconciliation. It will take three generations to detox what left a prior generation drunk.

This is an extremely complex issue. When you spoke about the fact that there is a war on competent and successful people and it affects people of all ethnic backgrounds, that is the absolute truth. As a black woman who is accomplished professionally and educationally, I am attacked all the time, starting with some people in my own community. It is a known fact that you are teased if you are "smart" and live a straight and narrow life in the black community. Additionally, people outside my community can see me as problematic due to that same reason because I don't fit the standards of what they see as a stereotypical black woman. As a teacher, I know this boils down to the expectations being so low for our students and for society as a whole. We don't teach the ideals of working hard and doing your best anymore, so those who do it, from all ethnic backgrounds, can be seen as public enemy number one. We gave away too many participation trophies. Everyone from Bezos to the local nurse can be seen as problematic simply because of their personal accomplishments. This idea connects to DEI because there is a push for the disenfranchised to have a seat at the table just because they are disenfranchised. But those disenfranchised people have to have the qualifications to actually solve the problems. There is a need to address the inequalities that people face, but the current incarnation of DEI isn't doing it. I worked in HR with the DEI program that was nothing but fluff. People of color, including myself, experienced racism and left the company. We need to have people of all backgrounds who are qualified come to the table and create effective policies that speaks to the needs of everyone. That is going to take intelligence, honesty and tons of hard work.
You're obviously a lot smarter than I'll ever be ( I do menial labour for a living), but couldn't you use a paragraph or two?
Well said. Too many kids grow up thinking unrealistic notions that their only hope for success in adulthood lies in athletics, music, crime, or childbirth.
@@roydaggerIt's hard to do. Complex issues require complex answers....
Well said. The American black community has special challenges because it has internalized that achievement in fields other than entertainment, sports and fashion is somehow being anti black.
But the biggest obstacle (in my opinion) for black Americans is the notion that blacks’ highest allegiance should be to black Americans. And this terrible idea is further enabled and reinforced (and cheered on) by white liberals. And white liberals are who blacks get validation from.
Any other ethnicity, Filipino, Korean, etc., that emigrates into the U.S., you can guarantee their grandchildren won’t say they are Filipino or Korean. Instead they’ll say they are American but their grandparents came over from the Philippines or Korea. They won’t feel compelled to talk, dress, dance, associate with, vote, in solidarity with other Filipinos or Koreans. They won’t be wringing their hands or yelling about Filipino or Korean men or women marrying outside their race. They will instead judge and do things according to what is simply right or best for themselves, their family, and for society overall.
If all immigration stopped today, within three or four generations there would only be two ethnic groups in the U.S.: blacks and everyone else (who have married into every other blending of ethnicities).
All four of my father’s grandparents immigrated from Germany. Both of his parents, despite be born in the U.S. learned German as their first language. Yet not one of my father’s siblings or himself married a German American because he felt some kind of ethnic obligation. My father married a brown islander from Guam, his older brother married a woman from Peru, another married a woman from Panama. Myself and my four siblings are married to a Filipino, a Japanese, a Canadian, and a Pacific Islander. In each case we met someone, became attracted to that person, and fell in love. It is impossible in my family to adopt any notion of ethnic allegiance. We are citizens of humanity and the world. I think that is how you end racial and ethnic “us versus them” thinking.
So in my opinion, the NAACP’s main goal should be to work to end the need for its existence.
Powerfully expressed! I salute you!
Thank you, Bari, for your wisdom and for your leadership. Thank you also for your great team of writers at The Free Press. All of you help to keep my mind and my heart open. But, most important, The Free Press continues to give me reason not to lose hope in humanity.
Would having a man bombed to death for telling a joke be considered ruining a man's over something he said
Bari Weiss is a murderous hypocrite
Excellent. Thank you.
Powerful and important, thank you.
Thank you for speaking out on this. Just because a school is part of the top 10 in our country, doesn’t mean their teachings are infallible. We need to remain diligent and aware of everything.
Excellent! Brilliant! Thank you! From Argentina
Double standard is the very definition of bigotry and racism. That is the place to start.
Is there a bigger example of double standards than Bari Weiss’ calls for censorship solely when it comes to criticism of Israel? She’s a fraud.
We all know that free speech does not include the call to violence against someone. How they could wobble on this point is astounding. What has happened to them?
Woke don't give two shits about free speech. They are not liberals.
"We should kill the Arabs and take their oil." Chevy Chase 1975 season of SNL. Totally protected free speech.
@@thesmartestmanintheworld2653 If you're chanting it in manner to incite other people to commit actual violence then you're inciting violence and that's not included in free speech
@@thesmartestmanintheworld2653 2023: On Harvard's campus, fat shaming someone can be punished by the school under the code of conduct. Free speech? Not so much. ...Well, unless it's calling for the genocide of Jews.
DEI ha. Rearrange, and now you know why they are okay with death threats. They are literally a d.i.e. cult.
What a wonderful speech...clear...detailed...wonderful...
So grateful that youve finally woken up. Watching this 40 year old slow moving inevitable train wreck has been a nightmare. Bravo.
I finally understand why Germany had the most "educated" population, along with the most Doctorate graduates per capita in all of Europe, prior to WW 2.
Good grief, many of Germany's greatest scholars Einstein being one of them fled Germany in the 30s because of the evil racism. We in America do thank Germany for giving us Einstein by default, he helped us explode a lot of evil.
Education camps.
Herbert Marcuse and the Frankfurt School's high water mark was in the 1950s. After ww2. It is the birthplace of DEI, racial justice, all critical theories and equity. Look it up
@@ericciaramella1984 NO, Frankfurt School was 1920/30s, almost all fled the Nazis. Marcuse's influence did not hit until late 1960s.
@@ericciaramella1984 Maybe so but clearly Hitler shit on the system with the typical us against them propaganda. Sadly it has come here :(
Bari, Im so greatful for your videos. You give me hope that this madness will end one day. You are amazing.
As a liberal college graduate, I was stunned at those presidents in front of Congress. If they are the fruit of the DEI tree, then yes, it needs to go.
One of my best friends friends from college just got his MBA in DEI from Harvard. This guy was a conservative College Republican when I first met him in the mid '90s. But he knows a good grift when he sees it, and he started a small consulting firm to get those lucrative ESG/DEI contracts in the field of science (designing that DEI trainings for HR). He (like many others) plan to financially ride this "woke" scam as far as it takes him. This ESG/DEI was has always been a grift, a scam, and the perfect way to "short" a company.
This is a cheap way for Zionists to take over universities they don't already own. If you value the 1st and 4th amendments I suggest you find people other than domestic terrorists to follow.
If???
Welcome to the party pal! 😂🎉🤠
@@juniorjames7076sounds like a scumbag
Spot on. I call DEI: Delusions, Exclusions and Ignorance. The way I see it, DEI's idea of anti-bias is not strengthening diversity and inclusion, but rather reinforcing the inclusion of one community at the expense of another. The thought of marginalizing the majority in order to include the minority is mind boggling.
How did the tail end up wagging the dog? By guilt-tripping it into sumbission.

I call it DIE. Division Indoctrination and Exclusion.. I like yours as well.
Great interpretation of DEI 😂
How gei is not against the 1972 constitutional amendment. The equal opportunity employment act. Even a high school dropout can see that. You Eggheads need to get on it.
Beautifully put. Thank you.
Clear and concise commentary. This is what journalism is supposed to be. Very thought provoking.
Speak truth!!! Well said Bari! We need more people like you speaking on this!
Thank you, Bari, you presentation was very informative and inspirational that ending DEI is getting closer to ending the madness.
Thank you for working for our freedom, Bari❤️
Thanks Bari.
Good talk, I agree with all said.
it's relief to find a channel that is trying to restore proper journalism that aspires to cultivate an objective voice. it isn't the job of the journalist to become the story, but to report the story as objectively as possible letting the viewer weigh their conscience on the scale and decide.
thank you for trying to be fair on both sides.
Bari, thanks for all you do. The Free Press has replaced the New York Times as the place I go for the most important news and opinion of the day.
Absolutely brilliant! Thank you, Bari!
Seems like we need more discourse on civil rights. Freedom, equality, etc.
I cannot begin to thank you for posting this. Moral clarity at it's finest. This should be featured on every network. Thank you so much.

Babylon Bee hit it out of the park on that one 😂😂
Perfection 😂
DEI needs to end for 1 reason only. Its not based on meritocracy/skill/experience but color/pronouns/lgbt status. Look at Chicago/campuses for extreme examples.
You believe in meritocracy?
There the main reasons.
@@aceyage yeah. I take it you think socialism is a viable alternative.
@@MrG-j4byou sound like you have no accomplishment in life
Chicago is actually doing extremely well. I guess if you only fall for propaganda this would be a real concern but they way you are speaking it seems like you do
Thank you for this, very well said.
Bravo Bari!
This is word that needs to be said.
Please share this message far and wide.
Beautifully said. Thank you!!
On point 100 percent
I read your piece, You are the Last Line of Defense on Thanksgiving Day. And now this. You rise in my esteem with every post. Thank you.
This is the centre that I belong to. Thank you Bari Weiss. "Totalitarianism comes in two flavours..."
Nazism and Communism...I would call them inbred siblings. Their ideological father's are Hegel and Marx.
The insanity of a populace / state being taken over by the tyrannical father archetype = Nazi, However being taken over by the devouring mother = Communism
Hell is achieved by either archetype "being in charge"....So balance is the key to peace and stability.
@@H0kieJoe Yep, national socialism and international socialism.
Bari gains more of my respect every day. I'm sharing this one everywhere! - WELL DONE!
How wonderful are these words. Bravo.
Outstanding as always! Barry is right on! ❤
