Harmeet Dhillon: We Can’t Right The Wrongs Of The Past By Being Racist Today
United States Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon told Tucker Carlson how she si leading the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division to eliminate systemic racism created by institutions in the name of anti-racism:
HARMEET DHILLON: People in people in power just sort of sat there and took it as if there was some need to atone for prior sins by discriminating against American citizens today. And I mean, you know, Asians are discriminated against in hiring in Silicon Valley. I’ve taken on many cases of that, and in universities, what did, what did these recent immigrants do to deserve discrimination other than being successful and then being punished for it? You really can’t right the wrongs of the past by being racist today. I think we should really have to have that level of moral clarity and just say that and operate that way. TUCKER CARLSON, HOST: Well, it’s collective punishment, is what it really is. You’re saying someone who looked like you did something bad, therefore I’m punishing you, or someone who looks like you was hurt, therefore you get the benefit now. I mean, the whole thing is just like, it eliminates the idea of the individual, of the unique human soul. HARMEET DHILLON: Right. Which is counter to the very principles on which our country was founded. The entire enlightenment was all about individual rights and responsibility. And we’re engaging in Chinese communist level collective guilt and collective punishment. It does feel that way. It does that way and it feels that way on campuses. It was And I think back, I thought it was bad at Dartmouth when I was at Dartmouth more than 35 years ago, almost 40 years ago now when I went to Dartmouth. And it’s so much worse today in most of these campuses, but like calling it what it is, naming it as racism and discrimination is a start. Now we will follow through and we will bring cases. Proud of our president for spearheading, yanking money. Our federal tax dollars away from the institutions that are the worst offenders. And I think you’re going to see much more of that happening soon.
