00:00:00.000So we're here, it's the end of the week, and I'll tell you we got a lot to cram into a very short period of time.
00:00:05.000A time that has been foreshortened a little bit by the fact that I blew out a tire on my car, but blowing out a tire on my car is not nearly as bad as having to listen to all of these university protesters.
00:00:15.000We'll get to all of them, plus Ben Carson's reaction.
00:00:18.000I'm Ben Shapiro, this is The Ben Shapiro Show.
00:00:25.000Alrighty, so the latest from University of Missouri is that basically Martin Luther King is dead and Malcolm X is alive.
00:00:31.000I mean, that's essentially the message that's coming out of University of Missouri today, where the students are now self-segregating.
00:00:38.000Seriously, the black students have decided they want to create their own safe space.
00:00:42.000I'll talk about that in just a minute.
00:00:43.000First of all, I think it's important to mention, as I mentioned yesterday, President Obama has pushed forward this notion that any subjective feeling you have about anything, if you are a member of a victim group, if you're a member of, if you're a black person, or if you're a Hispanic person, or a transgender, black, gay, bisexual person,
00:01:02.000If you're any of these things, or any combination of the above, if you're a non-cisnormative human, then you are, by nature, a victim.
00:01:08.000And anything that you feel, it's now incumbent upon all of us to validate.
00:02:41.000Just like yesterday I talked about the simile of you have a younger sibling and you take your sibling's hand and you hit them in the face with it and say, why are you hitting yourself?
00:02:49.000This is now the tactic on university campuses, where you jump out in the middle of the freeway, run at a car, and then claim that the car hit you through no fault of your own.
00:02:58.000Here is what happened at University of Missouri, and I'll describe for folks who can't see because you're not subscribing, and this is why you should subscribe, because you're missing great tape, let me tell you.
00:04:20.000And he runs up to the car, and then he says that the president's car bumped him, and then he demanded an apology from the president, and because the president is a huge pansy, the president then gave him an apology for this, right?
00:05:24.000So once there is any disagreement with your version of truth, once that disagreement takes place, then
00:05:31.000The laws that allow the disagreement to take place have to be overturned.
00:05:34.000So here is the Missouri student vice president on national television explaining that the First Amendment should not allow anyone to create a hostile atmosphere.
00:05:44.000This is on national TV, and this is a person in college that is being paid for by taxpayer dollars, and this is the childish idiocy that is being churned out by our university system.
00:05:56.000I personally am tired of hearing that First Amendment rights protect students when they're creating a hostile and unsafe learning environment for myself and for other students here.
00:06:07.000I think that it's important for us to create that distinction and create a space where we can all learn from one another and start to create a place of healing rather than a place where we're experiencing a lot of hate like we have in the past.
00:06:28.000Like, you know, like Hitler created a safe space from the Jews, because those crazy Jews with their crazy Judaism, we needed a safe space from the Jews.
00:06:36.000Or like Stalin created a safe space from his enemies.
00:06:39.000Or like Vladimir Putin is creating a safe space for Russians in Ukraine.
00:06:43.000It's amazing the safe spaces that you can create when the First Amendment doesn't apply to you.
00:06:48.000Hostile environments have to be ended.
00:07:06.000Okay, this is their safe space, and folks who can't see, there's a group of only black students, right?
00:07:11.000There are no white people anywhere in this photo.
00:07:13.000There's one white guy in the back who just feels really odd.
00:07:16.000But aside from him, everybody else there is black.
00:07:19.000And the reason that everybody there is black, despite the fact that there are a bunch of white leftists who support this agenda, is because these students said they wanted a blacks-only space.
00:07:31.000A blacks-only space for their segregated healing space.
00:07:34.000They said it was a violation, it was white privilege, if white people, their white allies, wanted to be with them in the healing space, the healing space had to ban all the white people.
00:07:44.000All the white people had to go away from the healing space.
00:07:49.000The KKK has been trying to get this thing done for 150 years, and it took a bunch of radical black students to make segregation come back.
00:07:56.000Apparently, you know, President Obama has a rug in the Oval Office that's from Martin Luther King, and it says, it's from MLK, and it says, the arc of history trends toward justice, or something.
00:08:06.000So it's, the arc of history now trends toward resegregation by radical black folks on university campuses, by panty-waist fascists.
00:08:14.000This is what's so amazing about all of this.
00:08:18.000So, the original accusation was that the campus was too racist against black people.
00:08:23.000So, their solution is to be completely racist against white people and also to let the white people remove themselves from the black people.
00:08:30.000This was their big solution, which is just a genius move.
00:08:35.000of a broader culture that is taking place.
00:08:37.000Yesterday, on the Ben Shapiro Show, we discussed the meaning of white privilege.
00:08:41.000Well, there's another term that needs to be discussed, and that is microaggressions.
00:08:45.000Okay, so right now, what's happening at Mizzou, what's happening at University of Missouri, is happening all across America.
00:08:50.000It's happening at Smith College in New York.
00:08:52.000It's happening over at Yale in New Haven, Connecticut.
00:08:56.000It's happening at Claremont McKenna College over in California, where a junior girl just stepped down from her student government position because on Halloween, there was a picture of her
00:09:04.000With two of her friends and two of her friends are wearing sombreros and mustaches and ponchos because you can't dress up as anything even mildly stereotypical at all for Halloween because Halloween of course is not a safe space and so we have to make safe spaces
00:09:19.000South Park did a phenomenal song called Safe Space.
00:10:32.000Now, I think that it's important to define microaggressions.
00:10:35.000So, one of the funny things about both microaggressions and white privilege, all this sort of stuff, they sound like kind of cultic forces.
00:10:45.000They sound like gnostic forces in the universe.
00:10:47.000Like, they're just kind of wandering around out there, and they sort of infect you from time to time.
00:10:51.000It's sort of like Obi-Wan Kenobi's description of the Force, except in reverse.
00:10:55.000It's an energy field created by all living things.
00:11:07.000So, social psychologist Jonathan Haidt and Greg Lukianoff, who's the head of an organization called FIRE, they wrote in The Atlantic, they define microaggressions like this.
00:11:15.000And this is as good a definition of microaggressions as you are likely to hear.
00:11:19.000And folks, the reason this is important, I'll explain in a second.
00:11:22.000So microaggressions are, quote, small actions or word choices that seem on their face to have no malicious intent, but that are thought of as a kind of violence nonetheless.
00:11:31.000Right, so they have no malicious intent.
00:11:34.000There's nothing I say that really is offensive.
00:11:36.000But if you took offense, if you took offense, I have micro-aggressed you.
00:11:41.000Right, so every time my wife turns me down for sex, it's a microaggression because I am offended even though she didn't mean to offend me, right?
00:11:49.000Aaron Lewis of Yale, who was studying cognitive science until he decided, seriously, he said that he stopped studying cognitive science so that he could do racial protest, which is obviously a much more lucrative field given the number of people who are going into it.
00:12:03.000He said, I don't think it matters what my own personal experiences are with racism on campus.
00:12:09.000What matters is that we all need to have empathy for the experiences that people of color have, even if we don't have those experiences for ourselves.
00:12:16.000It is really hard to believe, because we don't want to believe we're a post-racial society, but it's just not true.
00:12:22.000And how do we know it's not a post-racial society?
00:12:24.000Well, because some people feel that it's not a post-racial society.
00:13:40.000So yesterday at University of Missouri, the police released a statement, we talked about it, and they called for people to call the cops if their feelings were hurt.
00:13:48.000The men with guns come to take you away if your feelings are hurt.
00:13:51.000The administration cracks down on you.
00:13:54.000If your feelings are hurt, like people are making a big deal out of the fact that in 2010, some drunk students dumped a bunch of cotton balls on a lawn in front of the Black Student Union.
00:14:01.000This was supposed to be some obscure, oblique reference to slavery or something.
00:14:06.000And people were saying, well, they were only suspended.
00:15:51.000It does have real ramifications, and I want to hearken back to a situation in which I experienced this personally on national television.
00:15:57.000And for those who haven't seen it, this is somewhat enjoyable television, I've been told.
00:16:02.000It wasn't as enjoyable when you're in the middle of it, although I have to admit that it was somewhat hilarious even being in the middle of it.
00:17:39.000So he does that, and this created a pretty big hubbub at the time, because obviously this is not something you see on TV every day.
00:17:46.000It's people threatening each other on national TV and putting their hands on each other in the middle of those arguments.
00:17:50.000Unless it's Jerry Springer, you don't see it.
00:17:52.000Right, so this happens, and the part of it that was amazing to me was not that he reacted like this, because leftists react in all sorts of crazy ways.
00:18:00.000What was amazing to me is everyone on the panel reacting not to the threat of violence or to the hand on the neck, but to me saying, sir.
00:18:08.000In other words, my microaggression justified his actual aggression.
00:18:12.000My microaggression justified his actual aggression.
00:19:17.000Life must be fair, and in order for life to be fair, words have to be treated as actions, and thus, and thus, we can punish you for the things that you say.
