Kentucky State University political science professor Dr. Wilfred Reilly will go head to head in a political debate with one of the nation’s best-known white nationalists Jared Taylor at 6 p.m. Thursday, April 21 at Bradford Hall. The public is encouraged to attend this free event.
An expert in American and International ethnic group relations, Reilly holds a PhD from Southern Illinois University and a law degree from the University of Illinois College of Law. He is a recent presenter and reception chair at Midwest Political Science Association Conference and the author of Are the Browns Down? A Quantitative Examination of Why People Value Their Identity. Reilly believes that diversity and racial tolerance are good things.
Taylor will take the opposing view.
Taylor is the author of the New York Times best-seller Paved with Good Intentions and the “cult classic”White Identity. Taylor calls himself a “race realist” who believes that America was at her best as an overwhelmingly white and Christian nation. A strong supporter of presidential candidate Donald Trump, Taylor is also the current head of the pro-white-pride American Renaissance Foundation.
Taylor issued a debate challenge to Dr. Reilly, which was accepted on the sole condition that the debate take place in Kentucky on a HBCU campus.

When J Philippe Rushton and David Suzuki had a debate at the University of Western Ontario, February 8th, 1989 many in the audience and Professor Suzuki himself behaved in ways that were unworthy of a serious discussion.
I hope the audience at Kentucky State University listens politely to what Jared Taylor has to say.
Racism can never be allowed on campus. I guess Wilfred Reilly won’t be attending.
What you call “racism” is simply the propagation of facts about racial differences.
I want a conversation on race that is an honest conversation.
I hope all who attend this debate will give Mr. Taylor a chance to convey his thoughts. Despite the “White Nationalist” label this promotion gives him, he does not wish ill will towards any race or group of people. He has everyone’s self-interest in his heart and simply wants Europeans to have a voice in an increasingly hostile anti-European world. All attendees will be pleasantly surprised with Mr. Taylor’s thoughts and solutions.
Hopefully this can be a civil debate free from the angry mob trying to shut down one side or the other.
Who’s carrying the bond for Mr. Taylor’s personal security?
This “Debate” could result in an evening of profound enlightenment, providing the usual campus radicals can resist their programmed impulse to shout-down Jared Taylor each and every time he attempts to make his case.
It’s a shame how our universities have become so intolerant of free speech, especially when it concerns the expression of an opposing view.
But wait; might this debate be the start of a new era of campus civility and tolerance.
Which would actually make this event worthy of my physical attendance.
Don’t be surprised if you see me in Frankfurt Thursday, looking for civility and tolerance.
I’m rooting for Jared Taylor .
Wisdom can be gleaned from all sides of an argument; ergo, “debates” should be viewed with an open mind.
I DO NOT wish for a peaceful debate any more than I wish to see a unicorn. I am past the age that such fantasies appeals to me. I DO WANT Whites to fight back with same force and menace non-whites routinely use in their racial interest.
This would be fabulous if KSU would stream it to the Internet.
I would venture to guess that they will video it.
“The test of a society is whether it can submerge it’s differences in the pursuit of common objectives, and whether it can keep in mind that societies thrive on their reconciliations, not on their conflicts.”
Henry Kissinger, Diplomacy, 1994, p. 694
Dr. Kissinger served as US Secretary of State & as National Security Adviser & is recognized as perhaps the greatest US statesman during the 20th century. Here he’s clearly stating something clearly in opposition to the “Diversity is our Strength” mantra so common today. As is becoming evident to all, the current immigration into the US is giving rise to a lack of common goals, few meaningful reconciliations, and many internal conflicts.
I’d love to get a transcript /youtube of the debate tomorrow, even if I have to buy a DVD from the University / Dr. Reilly.
Well, would you buy a copy from Mr. Taylor or just the U or Dr. Reilly?
I always find it entertaining when blacks pretend like they are “doctors” and “professors”. LOL
At the last Taylor debate with a mostly black audience, the questions at the end were embarrassing. The blacks apparently didn’t even listen to the debate, and asked pre-written questions that were thoroughly answered in the debate. Many of the questions reflected a deep hatred for White people. Many sounded like they were written by low IQ, affirmative action blacks. Unfortunately, I don’t expect anything different at this event.
I’m a bit late, but this was unexpectedly well done! Both debaters were very solid and well prepared. I actually think Dr. Reilly won the debate, which I did NOT expect! His argument wasn’t the predictable liberal twaddle (“Dr. King died for our right to be here, so don’t offend me”) at all.
Basically, he said that diversity is part of a mostly positive process of consolidation from tiny tribes into one genetically superior human race. The most violent societies – Albania, Serbia, Bosnia, Chechnya, Iraq, Syria, Rwanda, Congo – are all made up of only one genetic race, and conflict there is tribal. Similarly, there was a much higher rate of violence in what he glibly called the “Gangs of New York” era of Irish/German/English/Italian conflict than there is today. Broader identities like whiteness form only as groups consolidate and compete in diverse societies. So, not only is the quality of food and athletic competition much higher in the USA today than it was in 1864, there is also much less inter-group violence.
As a biologist, I also think Reilly hit on the key weakness of racism as a genetic argument. To quote him, if it were true that Blacks are better athletes than whites who are smarter, the logical reaction would be inter-racial sex rather than racism. He got his exact percentages slightly wrong, but the child of that marriage would have a roughly 80% chance of being strong and smart. Call this the Steph Curry effect, if you are following the basketball playoffs this week. As he and in fact one student pointed out, “race realism” often seems more motivated by fear of extinction on the part of shrinking groups than by real ignorance of basic biology like this.
Taylor hit the crime data hard, however. Both men were good.
