Richard Spencer Speaks on Affirmative Action at Vanderbilt

You can guess what the response was by the “educated” lemmings. -Ed.

Conservative speaker Richard Spencer presented his case against affirmative action policies to Vanderbilt students last night in Furman Hall.

“I would say the biggest lie at the heart of our society is affirmative action and civil rights enforcement legislation,” Spencer said. “Affirmative action is anti-white discrimination, period.”

According to Spencer, the executive editor of AlternativeRight.com, adherence to affirmative action policies decreases institutional standards, threatens national security and weakens the economy.“Institutions have ceased to perform their functions,” Spencer said. “University systems have become sites of social engineering. Most people don’t go to undergraduate universities to learn.”

During his presentation, Spencer illustrated his point with charts displaying the achievement disparities between whites and blacks of different economic backgrounds. The figures indicated that whites in the poorest income bracket perform as well as blacks in the highest income bracket on standardized tests.

Graduate student Sandy Skeen asked Spencer to explain the differences in achievement between the races.

“I am not a scientist, but I would say that genetics has something to do with it,” Spencer said.
