Parody: My Apologies
Editor’s note: The person who gave this to us claimed that someone gave it to him or her anonymously to pass on to us for publication. We applaud whoever wrote it for their confession of hypocrisy but wish they had had the courage to put their name on it.
When they came for the conservative students on campus, accusing them of racism, I did not speak up. I had little sympathy for them.
When they accused the conservative magazine of being racist, I did nothing, because I never read it anyway, and wish it were not funded.
When they went after the conservative professors, I kept my peace, because I was not a conservative, and it is good for conservatives to be taken down a notch or two.
When they accused Christianity of being inherently racist, I said nothing, because I do not believe in defending my own faith, espe¬cially if it means someone might be offended. Besides, I agree that Christianity is inherently racist.
When they equated the Enlightenment and the West with racism, I said nothing, because I am a postmodernist.
When they accused the history department of being deeply com¬plicit in racism, I said nothing, because the history department is more liberal than I am.
And then they accused me of racism…and by that time there was nobody left to speak up for me.
Never Forget: Stop false accusations of racism now. It is never right to let others be accused of wrongs they did not commit, no matter how hard it is to defend those you do not like.
