And by the way, it’s not all non-white people who awaken the Great American monomania. It’s only the non-white people who can be seen as miserable, pathetic, deprived. Only the non-white abjection hits the pleasure centers of the American brain and awakens the savior instinct which is the whole point.
A black department chair asked at our recent anti-racism workshop, “You make it sound like I personally am a racist. Is that what you are saying?”
“Yes,” the presenter responded without skipping a beat. “You absolutely are.”
The black department chair isn’t pathetic. She’s a scholar, a full professor in Gucci eyeglasses. That by itself makes her a white supremacist because “black” and “white” are emotional categories. If a non-white person doesn’t provoke delicious feelings of guilt and anger, that person becomes an enemy. And so what are you going to do to preserve the worldview in which non-white people are sad and downtrodden victims? You are unconsciously going to do everything to keep them down. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve repeated at these anti-racist meetings that most of our black students are from normal middle-class families. They aren’t illiterate idiots incapable of googling “office hours” to find out what this expression means.
The black department chair has two children in high school. They will go to college and get treated like mental invalids. Will that help them succeed in life? Clearly, it won’t. Time and again, I see professors “of color” ask in absolute shock, “Are you trying to save that my achievements aren’t real and I wasn’t hired on merit but because of how I look?” These are successful people who are deliberately beaten down to make us all feel good about ourselves.

White liberals need to believe that people of color got there via largesse, because otherwise the white liberal didn’t serve a function.

That’s exactly it, and it’s a great article. Nobody would tell a colleague to his face, “yes, we only selected you because you look good on our diversity charts.” We all know that it’s wrong to do that to a person. Yet on a collective level, we are all doing it. And nobody can even articulate for what purpose and at what costs.

It’s kinda a weird thing that’s happening in America.

So weird. It took me a long time to figure it out because it’s completely irrational and it doesn’t exist anywhere else in the world.

I had no knowledge that this way of thinking was isolated to America. I mean I thought the Universities in England had a different approach to it. Correct me if I’m wrong but is that the DEI or the diversity equity and inclusion?

Europeans are blindly (and stupidly) adopting and imitating the American DEI. They are doing it out of subservience to America, which I wish they put, instead, into imitating the famous American self-reliance and initiative. But the DEI was born in the US.

Thank you for giving me the knowledge on the matter I was oblivious or not aware to the specifics of the DEI

It was brought to my attention from a YouTube clip by the Candace Owens show she was talking about the DEI in Hollywood in America.

In SA, the worst attacks on successful black people come from black people who got their jobs for political reasons.
