“You may have got your job because you’re black, but I would prefer to think you got your job because of merit.” This sentence caused a furore in the world of American Classics. Spoken at a panel by independent scholar Mary Frances Williams, it was widely – and for the most part inaccurately – reported. The event was a 2019 joint meeting of the Society for Classical Studies (classicalstudies.org, formerly the American Philological Association) and the Archaeological Institute of America (archaeological.org). On the panel are Dan-el Padilla Peralta (professor at Princeton) and Sarah E. Bond (professor at the University of Iowa) among others. Williams speaks this sentence at 4:04 in the video above. The entire session can be seen here: • SCS Annual Meeting (2019): "The Future of ... . Williams begins her remarks at approximately 44:55. After the meeting Bond and Padilla claimed on Twitter and elsewhere that Williams had accused Padilla of having attained his academic position by virtue of his race. Bond also accused Williams of racism for her defense of Western Civilization (see her statement in the links below) and Padilla tells Williams (in the clip above) that her vision of classics “affirms [her] in [her] white supremacy[.]” He said afterwards that this was one among a number of 𝑐𝑟𝑢𝑑𝑒𝑙𝑖𝑡𝑒𝑟 𝑓𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑎 (“cruel events, things cruelly done”) at the conference (see his 𝑀𝑒𝑑𝑖𝑢𝑚 article below). Bond has argued elsewhere that Western Civilization is a “construct” and therefore does not actually exist; she calls it a “dog-whistle” for white supremacism. But what Williams was reported to have said – that Padilla was hired because of his race – is clearly the opposite of what she actually said. Bond, Padilla and others who had been present misquoted the first part of her sentence (“You may have got your job because you’re black…”) and omitted the latter part (“…but I would prefer to think you got your job because of merit”). Sarah E. Bond and Dan-el Padilla Peralta lied. Many who had not been present nor seen the video came to Padilla’s defense and said it was highly insulting to state, as Williams was falsely reported to have done, that race played a role in his hiring. His brilliance was celebrated and it was called offensive to allege that he was merely a diversity hire. After these online protestations by many American classicists, Padilla stated in the same 𝑀𝑒𝑑𝑖𝑢𝑚 article that he 𝑠ℎ𝑜𝑢𝑙𝑑 have been hired for just that reason. (His use of “should have” suggests that he was not. I have no idea whether that is true.) Further, he called his blackness “a cornerstone of [his] merit[.]” These quotations in a wider context: “Seeing as no one in that room or in the conference corridors afterwards rallied to the defense of blackness as a cornerstone of my merit, I will now have to repeat an argument that will be familiar to critical race scholars of higher education but that is barely legible to the denizens of #classicssowhite. 𝐼 𝑠ℎ𝑜𝑢𝑙𝑑 ℎ𝑎𝑣𝑒 𝑏𝑒𝑒𝑛 ℎ𝑖𝑟𝑒𝑑 𝑏𝑒𝑐𝑎𝑢𝑠𝑒 𝐼 𝑤𝑎𝑠 𝑏𝑙𝑎𝑐𝑘: because my Afro-Latinity is the rock-solid foundation upon which the edifice of what I have accomplished and everything I hope to accomplish rests” (emphasis his). He went on to say elsewhere, “My merit and my blackness are fused to each other. It is impossible to think of my scholarship, my achievements, without thinking about my blackness” (see the 𝐶ℎ𝑟𝑜𝑛𝑖𝑐𝑙𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝐻𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑒𝑟 𝐸𝑑𝑢𝑐𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 article below). While Padilla himself links his merit and achievement with his race, Williams never has. I am unaware of his or Bond’s having recanted their defamation and apologizing to Williams. If anyone knows of such, please let me know and I’ll update this. One may disagree with Williams’s vision of the classics or her approach to ancient authors or her opinion of socialism or anything else she says, but to claim that she accused Padilla of being a diversity hire is false. To say so even after being present or seeing the video is wilfully and dishonestly to spread a lie. Links: Mary Frances Williams’s account: https://quillette.com/2019/02/26/how-...
