Princeton professor Eddie Glaude is at it again.
Last week on MS NOW, he smeared America as a “white republic” built on “greed and selfishness and grift and hatred.”
On Sunday’s edition of The Weekend, Glaude described JD Vance and Donald Trump as “the devil who has us by the throat” and “white nationalists, for sure.”
The segment opened with MS NOW contributor and former NPR host Michele Norris offering a false choice. America, she declared, must decide whether it wants to “hold on to our superpower status” or become a “supremacist nation.”
Why? Because “we don’t produce enough college-educated white men to drive our GDP.” Norris asked who is serving patients in doctors’ offices and hospitals and “holding up” the economy “with their hands and their shoulders and their intellect and their hard work.”
The implication is clear: without mass immigration, America falls behind.
JD Vance had offered a very different message for the nation’s 250th birthday. He urged Americans to reject the “two dimensional view” of their country that obsesses over imperfections and portrays it as merely another place “where the weak struggle against the strong.”
Glaude called Vance’s appeal an ideological effort to shut down “more perfect union talk” that acknowledges failings on slavery, women, workers, and the like. Such talk, he said, opens up a “multicultural imagining” and “multiracial imagining” of America that conservatives want to suppress.
“JD Vance wants us to simply shut up those of us who look like me,” Glaude declared. “They want us to shut up and be grateful.”
Glaude calling Trump and Vance “the devil who has us by the throat” and labeling them “white nationalists, for sure” is classic demonization—turning patriotic appeals to national greatness and culture into supposed supremacism.
Glaude’s rejection of an American “culture” (dismissing it as “blood and soil”) ignores the broad consensus around the American Dream, self-reliance, hard work, and “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” — with emphasis on the pursuit, not government delivery of happiness through welfare and DEI mandates.
Norris’s framing sets up an equally false choice: maintain superpower status via mass low-skilled immigration or become “supremacist” and second-rate due to insufficient “college-educated white men.”
Most Americans are fine with highly-educated immigrants who can become doctors and contribute. That is a far cry from open-border policies that import the unskilled, who are more likely to become burdens on society — through government welfare programs or defrauding the government.
