[Repealthe17thAmendment]

Yes, I grew up with the idea that race was irrelevant, and character is what mattered.

But today, if someone does not acknowledge the racism of the past, they are racist.

So now, it is not character that matters because the acts of the past have inhibited character development.

It is a rationalization that will prolong the disparity, not end it.

The goal is to wipe out capitalism. The values that created capitalism (freedom, private property rights, individual responsibility) are seen as “white” values, and the only way to be rid of the taint of whiteness is to work to undercut all results of white values: capitalism, freedom, individualism. They may never say “socialism” or “communism” until you are deep inside the cult, but the notion that all disparities in wealth are the result of racism and absolutely no other explanation is allowed, and equality of outcome is the only acceptable goal... makes it clear.
