- Are the policies of equity, diversity quotas and defunding the police really helping Black people?
In this week’s episode of Top Story, JNS editor-in-chief Jonathan Tobin discussed the new secular religion of anti-racism and the woke catechism of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) with Heather Mac Donald, author of the new book, "When Race Trumps Merit: How The Pursuit of Equity Sacrifices Excellence, Destroys Beauty and Threatens Lives".
They discuss
- The counterproductive and false claims made by the Black Lives Matter movement
- The collapse of standards in the sciences and the arts due to diversity quotas
- The misguided and unjust demand for equity.

She is a brilliant woman Jonathan, thanks for having her on.
I once knew a physicist who was the head of a government lab. Most of his staff had to be PHD's in physics. When he was looking to hire another physicist, he was told he needed to hire a Black physicist. He responded that he would hire the first Black physicist that applied for the job. He never found such a person. Luckily, this was some time ago so he was able hire a white physicist who was actually qualified for the job without incurring the wrath of the administration. However, looking back, one can see this a the beginnings of our current insanity.
How long ago was that physicist hiring situation? People do need to realize that Trump pushed the left into overdrive, and I suspect once he's gone from politics (hopefully ASAP) DEI will fade to a tolerable level.
Thank you so much for the guest! Delightful to listen to her! Always sharp and always brave, she calls a spade a spade.
She is excellent. I'd love to get her book.
Heather MacDonald is a woman of monumental moral and physical courage.
Amen !
America isn't really all that racist. Most Americans don't have the luxury of worrying about things like that. It's only in our media does racism exists. 99.9% of the racism we experience in life comes from our media, not from the real world. When we turn off the TV, racism ceases to exist. By the way, my heart surgeon was a black female. She was a genius.
The country was built on slavery,try and read up on the subject of American history
@@apintofbeer1667Can you read? You certainly have zero discernment and perspective.
@@apintofbeer1667 I suspect all countries were built with slavery and indentured servitude- which is awful.
@@Gr88tful The US took slavery and expanded it like no other nation
Depends on what you mean by racism.
Heather Mac Donald is a national treasure on so many fronts. Thank you!
One does not have to like the music of Mozart, Debussy or Brahms, but one must appreciate their musical genius. Heather MacDonald is one of a select few academics and journalists who have the courage to expose the lunacy of the DEI crowd. Great show. I look forward to seeing more of your content.
Excellent 😊
She speaks the truth !!!!
In today's world, her courage and integrity make her stand out in a manner that is positively AWE-INSPIRING. I grew up in a world where many white mainstream types fell into the habit of saying literally anything to maintain their upward mobility. Nobody would dare to rock the boat. It left me quite cynical, but I had no idea how quickly things would deteriorate. Listening to this woman offers a rare moment of respite to all of that...
Exactly -- Well Said!
Don't forget that it's Mac Donald, not MacDonald, mac!
We WERE warned about the "slippery slope" but believed our altruism could NEVER be weaponized.
And we were wrong! Complacency is the lubricant on the slippery slope. The few courageous voices of reason like that of the brilliant Ms. Heather MacDonald, constitute the strong hands reaching down to us, offering us a tenuous lifeline of rationality to prevent us from sliding down that slippery slope into the abyss.
Several conservatives have been warning us about this since the 80s.. they were not taken seriously and here we are .. now even many liberals are worrying and we are like “yeah”
@@brianmeen2158 Daniel Patrick Moynihan. a Dem senator from New York (!), warned us about this in the early 70s.
@@brianmeen2158Ezra Taft Benson of the Mormon faith warned us about this in the sixties.
@@MichaelSheffield-ox8ydMoyihan 's report was and still is eerie! He was ahead of his time. So was E. Franklin Frazier!
Of all the countries involved in the slave trades, the US and the British were the least offenders and did more to eliminate the practise than other countries. Those two nations eliminated the slave trade at great cost. Of that, they should be proud, not ashamed.
Heather Mac Donald is a true patriot of this country and of the Western civilization. We all admire this wonderful lady!
Heather never disappoints, always on top of the issues.
I guess that my first of a plethora of positive reactions to this interview with Heather would be GRATITUDE! I share her pessimism about the current state of the race and culture wars plaguing Western Civilization at the moment. Yet I am deeply grateful that she continues to so courageously expose the cancerous metastisis that is threatening the survival of Western Culture.
Her remarks are filled with verified facts that put the lie to wokeist myths about racial inequality in America and expose the root causes of black over representation in prison populations and poverty statistics. She's right that we conservatives sincerely want blacks to experience success in the American free enterprise system equal to their peers among other racial and ethnic groups. She is also completely correct in her assertion that racial preferences are not the moral or practical answer to the obvious problem, the pathological cultural environment in the crime-ridden inner cities of major American metropolises.
I salute you, Heather and Jonathan, for your courage and persistence. You are putting your fingers in the dike. The forces arrayed against you, and those of us who agree with you, are monumental and seemingly overwhelming. There are rays of hope in the darkness, a slowly growing trickle of black conservative voices for instance, but it is difficult to find much optimism today about a positive outcome. Heather is right to point out the success of conservative principles in Florida, but its architect, Ron DeSantis, is assailed at every turn by the mass of howling dogs in the media and the Democrat Party. We face an uphill battle. It's only voices like yours that keep the tiny flame of hope alive for millions of our countrymen who are numerically outnumbered by the forces of the left. Godspeed. We pray for you!
During the Salem Witch Trials, there were people who went to their graves rather than tell a lie. I believe this woman would have been among that number. She is SO impressive.
Love listening to Heather. I don’t have much hope in turning this madness around though
This nonsense will not stop until we stop it
HEATHER MACDONALD thank you
Jonathan, that introduction is the best, most clear, and yet succinct summary of this DEI doctrine I have ever heard! Powerful.
I agree... I love the intro too!
Not only do we need to worry about the doctor's competency - last week in New Zealand health boards began allowing quote-unquote "disadvantaged groups" based on ethnicity to be pushed forward on hospital waiting lists for surgeries and treatment, citing "inequities in health outcomes" as the driver.
Great discussion. Thank you. Heather is terrific every time.
I want to marry this woman. I haven't heard anyone other than maybe Victor Davis Hanson & Tucker Carlson speak so bluntly the truth. She accurately sums up exactly what our problems are. That's sexier than any 10 out there!!
Listen to Douglas Murray!
This is the 10th Heather MacDonald interview that I have watched regarding her new book. I thank her for her courage to stand up and say that the emperor has no clothes.
Great stuff🎉Thank you!
Love heather...." fighting the good cause"...Ireland
.
Best interview I've seen this year! Thank you!!
Save for the spittle forming on his mouth corner during the intro.
Heather McDonald, Wonderful Truth telling Guest! Loved it, Thank you!✌️💗
I tried to tell sooooo many people this and I'm black. I lost so many friends, even family members but guess what I got a new family... watch is you guys! Thank You for telling the truth.
What did a White Polish American's ancestors ever have to do with Slavery or Colonization?
Now how about a brown Spanish "Hispanic's" ancestors?
Great! Thanks for the TRUTH!
I’m enjoying this channel. Very refreshing and intelligent discussions.

Tearing down excellence. Thank you for the explanation that confirms what i have thought, sad message. Today i had a word come to me it is COURAGE. Thats what You are saying, We Need this Now. 🙏✌️💗
that was great !! thank you so much !
Excellent monologue. Great guest, great discusion. Thank you, Jonathan.
That’s why I only have Indian, Asian and white doctors
What à Courage has Dr. MacDonald! Thank you! Wish you can come to exposé your brillant historicité position, i agréé completly.
Excellent.
I want to fight DEI
The consequences will be, people will avoid black and hispanic doctors due to concern of their ability.
I have run into people who had a positions they didn’t earn. Their abilities were severely lacking. It made me wonder about the ivy league PhD they had.
I know first hand that these preferences were already happening in a long time ago. In the 90s, the weakest medical students were all minorities.
My brother, don’t do that. Her analysis and the so-called facts she presents are wrong. You cannot come out of the pipeline as a physician without passing exams called STEPS I, II, III, which are the same for everyone. And there are additional BOARD Exams which you do not need to pass to practice. You can always check whether your doctor, black or white, is Board certified. I am a black doctor and I am proud of the care I provide. Many white people have preferred to see me instead of another local white doc. Mrs McDonald has a master degree in English, her argumentation is impeccable, I guess her writing is also inviting but her facts are wrong and interpretation skewed. She is doing a disservice to everybody.
You maybe the exception to the rule that's all! If you were not admitted because you were black, then you would be right about what you said because you deserved the admission based on your merits. We are talking about when schools have to pick 5 more blacks otherwise the school would be fined and accused! Tell me if they didn't have those 5 blacks applying for school who is also qualified, they have to lowered the standard? It's only logical!@@Stagbeetle007
Target - are you listening? Never shop there.they enabled the looters and contributed to the grift.
Excellent and enlightening interview, thank you for posting.
Thanks Johnathan...Ireland
There is another issue in the Black disfunction discussion that may play just as much of a role-possibly more-that is the most sensitive and difficult to approach. It is the relationship between low IQ and antisocial behavior-and the prominence, expression, and epigenetic triggers of the MAOA gene allele.

Great interview, thank you!
As a new subscriber to this channel, I just want to thank all involved for some robust content. We are living in perilous, chaotic times, and this calls for intelligent analysis and perspicacious minds. Thanks again, very happy to have found this channel.
How insightful or helpful is anything Heather has to say to anyone in the cut where poverty, crime and despair bump up against law enforcement on a regular basis? Ms Mac Donald has degrees in English from Yale and Cambridge and a JD from Stanford, and can write sharply argued polemics for the Manhatten Instute, but I’m not sure how much field work she’s done. Dismissing the concerns of millions of her fellows citizens as the product of “complete utter fraud” isn’t a thesis i’d want to defend.
You only have to look at the statistics, as Mac Donald explained - that's the basis for your defence. It doesn't negate the fact there is a problem, but it puts it into perspective. (As for BLM, as Candace Owens has demonstrated, just follow the money - they aren't known as Buy Large Mansions for nothing.)
Just as women prefer occupations that involve people rather than things, what about the idea African Americans prefer occupations with more immediate gratification or social prestige? What if black people just aren't interested because of their familial culture? Is the government responsible for a community's culture? Liberalism has to be let off the hook at some stage. I believe that is part of the reason politicians become so cynical.
White and black people are naturally too different from each other to live with each other in large groups. Same with all the other races. Birds of a feather.
Liberalism, actually Leftists are preaching white HATE 24x7. Did you miss the white hate speeches by Joe Biden and others? That's is why they are NOT left off the hook. They want to put you on the hook, if you don't agree that most whites are racist.
But need more viewers of this!

Cool interview
TRUTH
So on the money (pun intended). Heather to the WH
Google Ferguson effect
This is amazing... Thanks for the insight.... Candace Owens would totally agree with you 😊
Brilliant
Modern Democrats seem pretty inclined to embrace these ideologies. Is not voting for them the only way to nip all of this nonsense in the bud. I live in Portland, America's culture war capital.
I love this woman.
Wow she doesn't mess around! 40 seconds into the video, and I am thinking damn you can't say any of those things, the wee flakey snow people will identify as somebody who's offended and you will get cancelled! Lol.
Yes, censorship is almost everywhere (kind of: "Big Brother is always watching you!")...
However, there is no other way out from this whole insanity!
For the sake of our children + grandchildren, we must resist!
Thanks, Heather, for your hard work in favour of the Truth!
[22:37] ...and Joshua Katz at Princeton. There are so many.
Exactly
amen
The worst form of theology for defence is to say "i am color blind".
Maybe you should just be honest and admit that the different races are just that. . .different. And they have much different capabilities from one another.
Truth
Yes. But doesn't everyone already know this?
👍🏻👍🏻
I don't know what's the objective.
The reality is this under preforming culture among professionals in all the professions is accelerating the PC USA into the abyss. Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand 1957 (Who is John Galt?)
I'm not sure we need a John Galt...he'd be for abolishing Social Security. The answer isn't in hyper-righties or hyper-lefties, it's somewhere in the middle...just like it's always been. Happy Father's Day to you if it applies!
🔥💪🏽
Only if black people would listen!
Tell us something that we don't know
Quite to the contrary to the narrative in this video. Those already employed in STEM will find a sudden drop off in competition as those entering their discipline drop out due to their inability to keep up are welcoming this fall off in competition. That's why they aren't fighting it.
I really wish black people would get it together! She is spot on!!! Whyte sympathizers are making matters worse too!
[10:27] Here I must disagree. "White guilt" is not "understandable" (ie, justifiable).
Asking people to like the video before they watch it is like a waiter asking you to tip before you've been provided your meal.
at the risk of sounding racest, didnt egypt decline under the black farrows
They were conquered by the Assyrians. That was in the time of the black 25th Nubian Dynasty, who ruled Egypt for about 80 years in the 8th & 7th Centuries BC.
7:16 McDonald interview starts
You mean all that money I sent rhem didn't help! Colour me pickachoo face!
The problem with black achievement is poor schools that don't teach students to read properly, not a pathological culture.
The pathology extends to schools but is larger than schools. It involves the context in which schools exist including fatherlessness, crime, drugs, and ideology
But successful educational outcomes depend not only on schools but on the amount of effort that the children put in and their natural ability.
You can have the most dedicated teachers but they cannot achieve much if the class is full of disruptive, insolent, unmotivated children who bully and laugh at any of their number who work hard for being 'too white', and who report any teacher who expects them to achieve high standards for being 'racist'.
I would agree with what you have written yet would include the ability to speak the English language properly such as the common mispronounciation of the simple pronunciation of the word ask not ax as in ax me a question, such problems only reveals the poor training in language as with many other black abuse of the English language reveals how poorly the schools are doing in teaching in our schools such problems make the race seem ignorant.
I disagree. Are you really saying the teachers are not teaching kids how to read? Everything starts and ends in the home. Good parenting, two parent households Matter. Personal responsibility, prioritizing education and family values matter. Parents should be teaching kids the basics of reading.
@@Sly-hc6im Please read up on the Science of Reading. Schools are very literally not teaching kids to read.
What's that saying? Turning over the most incredible arts of human beings to the unwashed? or something like that.
MMMAAANNNNAAA MMMOOOUUU RRRRAAAYYY
The only person who would be able to discuss this would be a black woman or man. So where is she???
Only a RACIST would write what you did. WE see you!!! Does a person have to be white to talk about the life of George Washington or Thomas Jefferson??? The facts and HISTORY are the Same no matter who speaks it. Stop your HATE, please!
Do black Latinos get counted twice in the US population ? Once when reporting on the number of blacks in the US and once when reporting on the number of Latinos ? 🤔
No, they are counted as White/Hispanic
One thing she is way to weak about at the beginning - there's no reason at all that white people as a whole should self flagellate about this race issue unless they were involved in the slave trade or something else of a similar ilk. Otherwise she makes many good points and is fairly courageous.
IQ test scores don't lie.
They definitely can
Maybe it's pay per view or subscription, maybe even Tailor Made. I dunno.
She's mostly right, but not when she claims conservatives "give a damn" about blacks much more than the Left. The Right is just less inclined to pretend that black crime isn't a character issue. While being pragmatically correct about how to improve black lives, the Right is generally sick of black inner city culture, which puts them at odds with large numbers of blacks.
When they wrote away Asian History they actually wrote it into the Bible. They want to test human thinking whether memories can be replaced?
Can u say WS????
Can you say BC?

I completely agree. Complaining is the only way Blacks know to participate in society. Being a victim is a shameful state to be in. Why anyone willingly choose it?
Currently, they find it pays
Because Democrats have trained black folks to complain and wait for a white Democrat to give them sometjing, rather than go to school, learn, work, and achieve withoug asking Democrats for help and permission.
Your statement doesn't apply to many Blacks. Many don't complain, like myself, and beautifully participate in society, so do all those I know. Painting all with the same brush is no different than what you are pointing out. Collectively, the them vs. us mentality must dissolve or nothing changes. Heather's conversation is troubling and polarizing, but I see why many will applaud it. It's soothing.
Hey that doesn't make sense. There are tons of blacks who are middle class, married, family people,busi ness people, career military, hard working....let's not lose track of facts. Let's unite with them. Such people agree with us. Your comment is an example of what fuels the racists are under every rock thesis. Resist the impulse to look at anyone as a solid block of people. Let's put our focus on those who live lives of honesty and integrity.
Black leaders do seem to complain a lot, pull the race card and blame others for what goes on in there communities rather than taking accountability. Look at what happened in regards to a Wal-Mart store closing down in Chicago due to theft. Black community leaders basically called Wal-Mart racist and pushed the blame on them.
Don't mention crime of self destructive purposes
And neither this woman nor JNS TV gives a damn about black lives.
Yeah, nobody else either. Just you
@@nickdanger4795 Just like you don't give a damn about Jewish lives!
@@nickdanger4795 so why are you wasting your time replying to me then???
What’s even more shameless is Israel’s genocide in Gaza.That is the meaning of a total disregard for human life,Heather!
Until the blacks are upsetting enough your life, you'll continue to turn the other cheek.
Wow! Heather even more fearlessly incisive than usual. Thank you both so much. But her boldness falls short with two remaining elephants in the room. She praises Desantis but avoids any mention of Trump, though their followers' proudly anti-intellectual passions are the same. Not to mention their shared sociopathic love of dominating, demonizing and ridiculing anyone who tries to stand in their way or who even dares to criticize. (Sound familiar?) DeSantis is Trump with a modicum of polish, Trump who has actually finished a book. (Though, for the first time, and thanks to Heather, I'm beginning to see the necessity of some of his actions in the public colleges on DEI.) Remember, Conservatives, your former mantras remain true: Character counts; Character is destiny. Nowhere should this be more relevant than in your presidential candidates.
As to the second pachyderm: She's so good on the nightmarish and nightmarishly enduring education, skills, wealth and crime gaps but never seems to mention the one gap that most of the data says drives those- the nearly one standard deviation one in IQ which has endured for well over a century, despite billions thrown at it. Dare we follow the science on this one too? Though the implications are daunting, what say ye Heather? Can we hear your response to Charles Murray's last book? Or someone tell us where it can be found?
I don't think there was really 5000 years of history. We still dunno who was the artist cause you need to find me as maybe hidden in-between the Blockchain may hold more answers besides just allegory or tech. But I am only guessing. Since it's also adaptable for use in Jerusalem and Church History. Yeah super irony that now I also dunno if those concerts are real or fake. I only can afford to go for two concerts. Mariah Carey and Celine Dion. Both are still alive so I know they are real people.
CRT and Radical Feminism are outgrowths of the liberal project to bring into the "fold" groups who have been historically discriminated against - primarily in the law (CRT was created by lawyers and its initial application was to determine inequities in the law). Unfortunately, the intersection of this approach coincided at a time in the US when Feminism, Black Studies and Economics were highly influenced by Marxism and Postmodernism (while different, these disciplines are rooted in historical class hierarchy and colonialism).
"Racism" is one expression of cultural superiority. All (most?) cultures believe they are superior to others. All cultures begin with the assertion, "we are the people who..." and distinguish themselves from others, whom they usually see as inferior in their culture, manners, etc. Virtually the dominant group in a society with multi-cultural dynamics will oppress the others to some extent. To guard against this problem, our culture has created Rule of Law and democratic institutions. However, the institutions are run by imperfect humans who consciously or unconsciously tend toward discrimination against those not in the dominant social group.
So, I don't have any problem with legal scholars looking into injustices in law, or with sociologists studying social dynamics, but what we are dealing with here is a dangerous methodology that means to restructure society and law rooted in Marxist social organization - the same radical socialist dogma that has ruined societies everywhere it's been imposed (China, USSR, Cuba, N Korea, et al). So, yes, it must be exposed for what it is and defeated - preferably at the ballot box (I am not a fan of some the tactics of DeSantis and others who are using the power of government to both root out radical leftism while taking unconstitutional means to entrench GOP control in "red states").
When it comes to elections the assumption that they are true, fair, and legal may no longer be appropriate. And constitutional rights are there for a reason…not to be trampled by the politics of the day.
marxism,look at Pol Pot and Khmer Rouge
@@mr.anderson1326 You would have to show proof to make a claim questioning election results. Any idiot - or Russian bot - can make the claim irresponsibly. You have also created a non-sequitur from your first point to the one about constitutional rights. Is English your first language? You sound like a troll.
No it’s anti liberal
😂
‘Everyone does not start at the same mile marker’ say DEI advocates who argue that equity refers to helpful efforts to give those behind a step forward.
All planned. A Chinese student of mine is on her way to study "Anthropology" at Ohio State University with barely existent English...
And when she masters it better than you, who or what are you going to blame next?
Chinese is not included as part of that "minority" group as far as what the subject was concerned with.
