I was just alerted to this acceptance speech and I must say I am so glad to have heard it. She talks in cadence, rhyme, lyric and it makes all her words more intense and clear. That she is a professor at the University of Kentucky(my home state and my alma mater) just adds to the pleasure of knowing a bit of her spirit. I have read some of her poetry and now I know I will be reading it more and following her creativity as long as I can..

Everyone talks about this RACE problem and says that this RACE problem will be over when the third world pours into EVERY White country and ONLY into White countries. Everyone says the final solution to this RACE problem is for EVERY White country and ONLY White countries to “assimilate,” that is, intermarry, with all those non-Whites. According to the UN, this is genocide. They claim they are anti-racist, but what they are is anti-White. Anti-racist is a code word for anti-White.
