Diversity Killed His Son, But He Wishes A White Man Did It?

One of the many lies you’ll often hear about multiculturalism is that it’s an ideology of tolerance. We’re a melting pot. Diversity is our strength. We’re stronger together. And so on.

No one really believes any of that, least of all the proponents of multiculturalism. In reality, as Thomas Sowell has pointed out, multiculturalism is an ideology that tolerates every culture except one, which is Western culture. When it comes to Western culture, no level of hatred or self-loathing is beyond the pale. Anyone who belongs to this disfavored culture must apologize repeatedly for his own existence. He must grovel at every opportunity on account of his skin color and ethnicity. And ultimately he must turn on his own family, and sacrifice them at the altar of multiculturalism.

That’s exactly what happened on Tuesday, at a city commission meeting in the town of Springfield, Ohio. In the past few days, Springfield has found itself in the center of a national political firestorm after several residents reported that animals are being sacrificed, and in some cases eaten, by the tens of thousands of Haitian nationals that have flooded into town in the past four years. And despite what ABC News says, there is clear merit to these claims. The Daily Wire is on the ground in Springfield, where we’ve found evidence that the heads and carcasses of slaughtered pigs are being left out in public.

As disturbing as this is, all of the talk about animals obscures a more important point, which is that human beings are being killed as well. One of them, as I mentioned earlier this week, was an 11-year-old boy named Aiden Clark. He was killed — and more than a dozen other students were seriously injured — last year by a Haitian national who crossed the center line and crashed into a school bus on the first day of school. This Haitian national was on the roads illegally. His driver’s license was from Mexico.

On Tuesday, the father of Aiden Clark addressed the national coverage of his son’s death. Here’s what he said:

The parents of Aiden Clark say they wish he had been killed by an older white man, instead of a Haitian, because they say his death has been used to spread hate towards migrants. Aiden’s father asks for Republicans to stop using his death for political reasons. pic.twitter.com/jzlzm5EI9q

Before I go any further, I’ll say this: Losing a child is the single worst thing that can happen to a person. It’s the greatest pain a human being can experience. That’s why, as a father, I almost never criticize people who have gone through something like that. I don’t criticize them for how they grieve. I don’t criticize them for what they say in the aftermath. It’s a horror so unthinkable that there just is no way to know how a person will react.

But after these remarks, unfortunately, I feel compelled to say something because, for one thing, the man is slandering people — people like myself — who have spoken up for his son. He is attributing false motives to us. He’s labeling us racists and “hateful” and so on. He’s also claiming that no one — including politicians — has the right to even mention his son’s name.

None of this is true. And we have a right to correct the record, especially since this man is now using his son’s death to make a political statement. It’s a false statement. It’s a harmful statement. So we need to speak up because this is a matter of national importance.

I’m going to repeat what the father of Aiden Clark said. “I wish that my son, Aiden Clark, was killed by a 60-year-old white man.” That was the line he wrote down, prepared, and then delivered. He didn’t say that he wished his son was never killed, Instead, he said that he wished someone else had killed his son, so that other people wouldn’t draw any unapproved conclusions.

His comments only go to show that white guilt is a sickness — an infection that has burrowed deep inside this man’s mind and soul. So deep that even the death of a child did not shake him free of it. I cannot comprehend how a thought like this even enters your head. A man kills your child and your wish is that a man of a different race had killed him? How does that thought occur to you? I would expect that you’d wish that a Haitian immigrant hadn’t killed your son because you wish nobody had. But to wish that someone else had killed him is incomprehensibly deranged.

His implication, if you want to be as charitable as possible, is that the tens of thousands of Haitians who have moved into Springfield are safe drivers. They’re just as safe as the American citizens who have been living there for generations, supposedly. But everyone living in Springfield knows that’s not true. The journalist Taylor Hansen is in Springfield. He just reported, “Every resident I’ve talked to is scared of driving, and they are dealing with increased insurance rates due to unlicensed and uninsured Haitian drivers causing multiple accidents on a daily basis. There’s no punishment taking place for Haitians driving without insurance, but if an American citizen does it they can have their license suspended.”

Hansen also put together a compilation of some of the car crashes he’s seen involving Haitians in Springfield. Here are just some of them:

So this is what’s happening in Springfield. It’s all predictable. When you increase the size of a town by one-third — and all of the new arrivals are from a dysfunctional hellhole like Haiti — you’re going to get a lot of bad drivers who don’t obey the rules of the road. That’s common sense. And some of those bad drivers are going to kill children on their way to school.

It’s understandable that Aiden Clark’s father is angry. But his anger is directed at the only people who have expressed any concern over his son’s death. He attacks the only people who actually care that his son is dead. It seems to me that, after suffering such a tragedy, most of your anger would be reserved for the man who actually killed your son. The rest of the anger should be directed at the politicians who let that guy into the country. If he hadn’t been allowed in, if your immigration system was functional, if our borders were enforced, his son would be alive. The terrible racist Right-wingers he hates so much? Guess what: if we had our way, his son would be alive. But we’re the problem in his mind.

And it’s not just this father who thinks like this. I watched some more of this Springfield City commission meeting. The whole thing resembled a struggle session, where no one felt they could speak their minds. They all had to affirm the virtues of multiculturalism. For example, you might remember this woman who spoke a few days ago about her experiences in Springfield. This clip went viral at the time for obvious reasons. Here’s some of it:

Springfield, Ohio woman says homeless Haitians are trying to camp out on her front yard, says she “wants out of this town.”

“I have men that cannot speak English in my front yard, screaming at me, throwing mattresses in my front yard.”

She’s understandably frustrated. She’s clearly telling the truth about her firsthand experiences. And yet here was that same woman on Tuesday:

So now, after her comments generate outrage — appropriate, justified outrage — she’s backtracking. Now that they make Democrats and the ideology of multiculturalism look bad, she’s apologetic. She doesn’t say she lied before. She just recognizes now that what she said was inconvenient for the ideology she’s required to hold, if she wants to stay in the good graces of her community.

Again, the whole council meeting went like this. One speaker after another affirmed the values of “diversity.” Here’s another:

It’s like watching someone with Stockholm Syndrome. She knows the huge influx of Haitians has caused problems for Springfield. She heard all the residents saying so, just a few days ago. But then she implies that there’s no use complaining about it because no one’s ever going to remove all of these people. No one in power is going to send these foreign nationals back where they came from. So she might as well smile, and hold back tears, as she pretends that “diversity” is strengthening Springfield.

This is the essence of multiculturalism, as it’s being applied in the United States. It is not an ideology of tolerance or empowerment. It’s an ideology with one goal, which is the destruction of Western culture. And if this city meeting in Springfield on Tuesday is any indication, a lot of American citizens — even those who have suffered unimaginable horrors as a result of “multiculturalism”– are perfectly fine with that.
