Combating ‘Systemic Racism’ in America

How to bring about true equity.

by  

It is understood by everyone that America is, and always has been, a racist country where there is no possibility for a black person to become an actor in television or movies, a businessman, a college professor, an athlete, a judge, a police chief, a mayor, a Congressman, a Senator, a Supreme Court Justice, much less the President of the United States. The 1619 Project has eloquently proven this fact.

Systemic racism is entrenched in every aspect of American society, even in the most seemingly insignificant element, which only a sophisticated progressive can detect. The following are some of the many, countless, racist elements in society, as pointed out by enlightened progressives (I beg the reader’s indulgence in my recitation of them, but it is in order to raise awareness of the systemic racism in American society):

A lot of things are inherently racist. For instance, maps. Maps are racist. So is football. And Shark Week. Fields are also racist. Working out at the gym is racist. Swimming is racist. Daylight savings time is racist. Let us not forget that airlines charging more money is racist. Climate change is racist. So is the lottery. There is a tinge of racism in private schools. Museums are racist. Books by Dr. Seuss are racist. The seeking of objective truth and facts is racist. Using one’s hands while speaking is racist. White marble, used in sculpture, is racist. Using mathematics in art, such as the Fibonacci ratio, is racist. White milk is racist. The word “obesity” is racist. Truth is racism. Silence is racist. Tamarisk trees are racist. Algorithms are racist. A coin toss is now racist. Computers are racist. Pumpkin spice lattes are racist. Eating a healthy diet is now a sign of racism. The Christmas song, Jingle Bells, is racist. Pancakes are racist. Knitting is racist. Pedestrian signs are racist. If you don’t wear a face mask inside a classroom, that is a sign of racism. Apple pies are racist. Citing the statistic that blacks are 13% of the population but commit over 50% of the crimes is racist. The GOP is the party of white supremacy. The bird known as McCown’s Longspur is racist. Calling the Asian carp the “Asian carp” is racist. Math equals white supremacy because it requires a right answer. White paint is racist. The number 8 is a racist number. If you are a student, raising your hand in class is racist. Teaching grammar is a sign of racism. And it goes without saying that astrophysics is racist. Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are racist. Chess is racist because white moves first. Soap dispensers are racist. Free speech is racist and should be eliminated as is being done in Canada and Europe. And, of course, owning property is racist.

As can be seen from the above, the evidence of racism in America is everywhere. We have a lot of work ahead of us.

So that in order to bring about an equity society where whiteness is eliminated and where whites have no rights so that we can achieve equity, we will have to restructure society through the lens of Racial Marxism. Foremost of these changes would be on the matter of reparations whereby white persons who have never owned slaves will be forced to give huge amounts of money to black persons who have never been slaves in order for the former to atone for their sins (the exception would be for those persons from Africa and Asia who still own slaves when they migrate to this country; since owning slaves is part of their culture, it is permissible). This would be a variation of the goal of redistribution of wealth.

Next, in order to have a more diverse and equitable representation in fields like engineering, medicine, law, etc., the standards for qualifications must be dropped to the lowest common denominator, as is already the case for entrance to many Ivy League universities.

Likewise, we must have an increase in representational characters in films and television, even in historical movies. We have already seen black actors representing Vikings, Ancient Greek heroes, Victorian England characters, etc., but we need to have more of them.

Ideally, our goal should be legislation whereby black votes should count ten times that of whites. It would also be illegal to contradict or criticize blacks. Most importantly, police would not be allowed to arrest a black person who is suspected of breaking a law unless that black person wishes to accompany the police.

But, until we achieve those idealistic goals, in order to set up the groundwork, we must continue to teach critical race theory in schools at all levels, in all its variations, while denying that this is taking place (after all, conservatives are too stupid to realize the slight of hand, and too lazy to persist in preventing it, being easily distracted) since the next generation will produce results.
