Society is bent on feeding the racial equality dream endlessly while ignoring the core facts that keep haunting us, decade in and decade out. We cling onto simple slogans without understanding their meaning, as explained in “The Myth That All Men Are Created Equal.” Now we’ve passed the point of pretending anything anymore and have resorted to leveling the playing field in ways unimaginable only a few years ago. Why? Because nothing works, and never will, but the nonsense must be kept alive.

While affirmative action and diversity quotas of all types have failed to propel minorities forward in an equitable manner for reasons that nobody wants to discuss, new tactics are now emerging that are surprisingly accepted by people with purportedly functioning brains.

Let’s look at a prime example. There’s an “Uproar at NYC’s posh Dalton School after faculty issues 8-page anti-racism manifesto” and understandably so. Here’s the main point:

Abolishing high-level academic courses by 2023 if the performance of black students is not on par with non-blacks. 

The statement is extremely clear and simply states that standards must be lowered to accommodate lower achieving black students. Obviously someone, especially in academia, has paid attention to the fact that regardless of programs, the outcomes along racial lines are never equal, and the only way to achieve equality is to slow down the brightest kids. That ought to deliver superb results, indeed!

But there’s more, as indicated by “Does the SAT Have A Racial Bias?” with a Harvard study “arguing that SAT questions in the verbal section favored white students by using language with which they were more familiar compared to other non-white groups.”

The problem is that the process hurts minority kids, who traditionally score lower on the test, he says.

“Traditionally score lower” is the key phrase. Even if SAT and ACT tests are unnecessary, which is a separate topic, for some people to claim that the tests are “white” overlooks the simple fact that access to information upon which the tests are based is widely available. If one can interact with Instagram and TikTok, one can get information of any kind.

Language aside, how do people explain math scores by race/ethnicity over a 40 year period, courtesy of the National Center for Education Statistics? Naturally intelligent people, regardless of race or ethnic group, will pick up any piece of information and run with it. Who taught Isaac Newton about gravity?

The Pentagon, a rigid formation organization that never had room for wokeness is also caving in to the movement, as “Pentagon memo maps out plan to expand diversity in the force.”

Based on 2018 data, roughly two-thirds of the military’s enlisted corps is white, and about 17% is Black, but the minority percentage declines as rank increases. The U.S. population overall is about three-quarters white and 13% Black, according to Census Bureau statistics.

Maybe looking for the obvious, such as math scores, explains the difference and will save everyone from a mountain of aggravation as people start walking on eggshells to avoid being labeled a racist. The discontentment continues about different outcomes along racial lines, while the differences will continue to manifest themselves in no uncertain terms.

James Watson, the father of DNA and Nobel laureate was widely chastised for suggesting that Africans are intellectually inferior, but a more popular person that has become the media darling as it relates to COVID-19 stated the exact same thing.

What Bill Gates says in the video — without saying it explicitly — is that Africans are unable to take care of themselves. Thus, Western civilization, we, white people, must come to their aid.

Despite cronyism and discrimination, meritocracy filters out the brightest in the crowd, and expecting equal outcomes is an exercise in futility as demonstrated by the socio-techno-economic achievement of different races on a global scale. A simple case study can be found in “Liberia: A Testament To Black Lack Of Achievement In An Oppression-Free State.”

However there’s an ongoing conflation between fact and hate that is used to blur the landscape and the truth. A good analogy is that pugs are not hated but they will never become members of a K-9 unit, and it’s not their fault that they are pugs.

Step back from all the buzz, and pay attention to the contradicting positions and actions because the message is clear: we’re all equal but some of us need a leg up, time and again, without ever producing excellent measurable results on a wide scale. It’s a vicious cycle of complaint, resource usage and promises, and in 50 years we will still be going around in circles with the same exact results — unless we wake up and accept the facts. Forced diversity over meritocracy always leads to mediocrity.

The conclusion is simple: It’s always about the people!
