| Systemic Racism - the Big Lie |
| 2021-03-14 |
| The Naked Dollar via Instapundit So, why do we say systemic racism, and not just racism? Why systemic? It's important to understand the words and phrases that so thoroughly penetrate our national discourse, because most people don't. Systemic racism is not about specific instances of racism. Rather, it is the belief that racism is imbued in our national DNA, in our system. It looks to broad, racial outcomes as evidence. Any disparity in result is a priori proof of systemic racism. Ibram X. Kendi himself, the man at the very pinnacle of the "Anti-racism" power structure, says, "Racial discrimination is the sole cause of racial disparities in this country." ...As long as racial groups perform differently, there must be racism. Systemic racism. If our system is racist, then we must ask, what does our system consist of? The answer to that is institutions, of course. The government, corporations, schools, foundations... ...first, let's be clear, there was a time in our country where most of our institutions were racist. ...But matters have changed radically in the last few decades. I am unaware of any institutions that don't give special preferences to blacks. Many significantly so. Everyone knows this, but it's a truth you can't speak, particularly if you rely on someone else for your paycheck. Whether you think such preferences are the right thing to do is a discussion for a different day. But it's an unarguable fact that preferences are given. The government and public schools certainly do. Universities certainly do. The average SAT scores for black students at places like Harvard is several hundred points lower than other students. Corporations certainly do. In fact, they are desperate to hire more black candidates, and are often frustrated in their efforts to do so. Same goes for finding board members. The CEO of Wells Fargo, Charles Scharf, got in hot water recently when he said, "The unfortunate reality is that there is a very limited pool of black talent to recruit from." USA used to be the world's leading economy - and then, IMHO, affirmative action was invented.
