Racism to Achieve Diversity Harms All Americans

For everyone’s sake, Americans of all ethnicities must unite to reject racism of all kinds and embrace becoming a colorblind meritocracy.

If you’ve navigated the thicket of microinstructions, hectoring, guilt-tripping, institutionalized resentment, establishment-generated misinformation, double standards, and bizarre new terminology, then welcome to the world of woke antiracism in America today.

One of the biggest absurdities spread by the woke antiracists is that white people must practice “allyship” and refrain from sharing their opinions on race relations with “people of color.” There is nothing wrong with listening as well as talking, but for white people to remain silent in the face of one of the most destructive movements in American history is negligent and cowardly.

As it is, progressive elites in America, almost all of them white, are indoctrinating nonwhites in America to believe that they live in an oppressive, racist nation. They are falsely told that unjustified police violence disproportionately targets blacks. They are falsely told the biggest threat to the nation is white supremacists. Worse still, they are told that every disparity in achievement between races is a product of white racism, and that white racists are to blame for any failures in their individual lives or within their communities.

The motivation for this indoctrination is political and economic. America’s corporate socialist uniparty—all of the Democrats and a sizable percentage of Republicans—finds power and profit in selling this narrative. It justifies expanding government, nurturing dependency, unchecked immigration, and building the welfare and diversity bureaucracies. It creates a divided and fractious electorate that is incapable of recognizing this political betrayal and unifying to stop it.

The fruits of woke indoctrination are that an overwhelming majority of blacks, Latinos, and Asians vote for “progressive” politicians. In the 2020 election, Biden was supported by 87 percent of black voters, by 61 percent of Latinos, and by 63 percent of Asians. These partisan margins have become the decisive swing vote that is changing the destiny of America. Which is to say, America used to be a country where property rights and free speech were paramount values, but today it is being converted into a corporate socialist dystopia where there are only oligarchs and serfs dependent on government handouts. And as this epic, life-changing transformation occurs, white people are told to just shut up and be “allies.”

There are plenty of brilliant conservative black intellectuals who are doing a good job of exposing how the fraudulent, destructive essence of woke ideology harms everyone regardless of their ethnicity: Thomas Sowell, Larry Elder, Carol Swain, and other well-established luminaries, along with thousands of younger entrants such as Candace Owens and Brandon Tatum. The emergence of black conservatives, too numerous to mention, is an encouraging pushback against the woke minions and their corporate backers. Others, such as Indian-Americans Vivek Ramaswamy and Dinesh D’Souza, have also become important conservative thinkers.

So with their help, it’s time to mainstream a position that is unfairly depicted by the “woke” as something only a “far-right extremist can think”—namely, that for several decades America has been a systemically racist nation against white people, and has more recently begun to also discriminate against Asians, especially in college and university admissions. This is harming everyone, including the nonwhites it is alleged to help.

The Origins of Racism to Achieve Diversity
Anti-white discrimination is nothing new. Anti-white racism began in the 1970s when the principles of affirmative action, originally designed to outlaw discrimination of any kind, were expanded to mandate what critics called “reverse discrimination” in order to fulfill “diversity benchmarks.” In practice, this led to colleges and universities admitting new students not based on their grades and scores on standardized tests but based instead on achieving proportional representation by race.

These racist practices soon spread to the corporate world. They took the form of tax creditsfor companies to hire women and minorities, tax incentives offered to “women and minority owned businesses,” and mandates for government agencies to give preference to those businesses when evaluating bids for government contracts.

It was already common in the 1990s for job recruiters to disregard white applicants. They wouldn’t even be evasive about it. “We can’t hire another white man,” they’d say, knowing their exposure to a lawsuit was minimal, despite the fact that if they said the opposite, “we are only going to hire white men,” they’d soon be in a civil court fighting for their financial and professional survival.

Where successful lawsuits and ballot initiatives have challenged affirmative action, it has morphed into less explicit but equally racist antiwhite practices. For example, once voters rejected affirmative action in California in 1996, the state’s colleges and universities began to warp the criteria away from grades and test scores in favor of subjective “personal scores” and a “holistic” approach that enabled their admissions offices to continue to achieve proportional representation by race.

Reverse discrimination is not only harming poor and middle-class whites, it's harming other groups, such as Asian Americans.

Now you have affirmative action policies pitting one community of color against another.
