THE TELOS OF LEFTIST RACIAL IDEOLOGY
Powerline ^ | 07/26/2021 | Steven Hayward

Posted on 07/26/2021 7:26:18 AM PDT by DFG

When I first saw the letter reproduced here from something called “Dallas Justice Now,” calling on wealthy whites living in the affluent Highland Park neighborhood of Dallas not to have their kids apply to elite colleges so that there would be more room for minority applicants, I assumed that it was a satire or a hoax.

But it turns out to be authentic. And there’s actually much to recommend this if you think about it for a moment: what Dallas Justice Now is doing is calling out the smug virtue-signaling of liberal “white allies” and demanding that they put their money (and their children’s futures) where their mouth is.

Here’s the text of DJN’s “College Pledge”:

To Our White Allies:

Talk is not enough. Commit yourself towards taking action and making sacrifices to correct centuries of injustice. Open up spaces for Black and LatinX communities by refusing to send your kids to Ivy League and US News & World Report Top 50 schools and encourage friends, neighbors, and family members to do the same. Imagine if those hundreds of thousands of spots at these institutions were occupied only by marginalized communities. Imagine the opportunities. We can achieve true equity within our lifetimes but only if white folks are willing to sacrifice their privileges.

If we can believe the anecdotal evidence, these top universities are already very lenient in using affirmative action in admissions anyway.

I’ve heard, again anecdotal, that various minority groups are overrepresented in many colleges and universities student bodies. Or

I love it. Show us you mean it Lefties. Sacrifice your kids to the cause.

If you refuse, you are not an “ally” and are not virtuous.

Whatever the woke want, if it’s something you are want to do anyway, do more of it.

If they want a statue taken down pur a second statue up.

If they want the name of something changed take back the name of something already changed.

When they tell you they are offended just smile warmly and say “You’re welcome!”

Actively discriminate against the woke when it comes to where you shop or who you hire to do jobs for you.

They won’t stop until they’ve cancelled everybody. They are psychopaths. They don’t believe in wokeism themselves. It’s just a vehicle to use the destroy everything.

Junior or the Little Princess would be better off owning a college town apartment building than getting four more years of leftist indoctrination.

Seems like a great way of putting the final coup de grace to the notion of a college education being a thing of value. Truly, SOME minority students belong at “elite” institutions and can handle the work...many cannot and do not belong there. Once they flood these colleges with “justice” admissions, all those degrees will be devalued.

In my part of Florida, a tradesman typically earns more than a typical college graduate.

The rich white leftist work-around in the face of this demand might be to purchase racial indulgences from the BLMers. To get BLM’s blessing to send their spoiled brat to a good school, the rich white leftists could use their $ and influence to keep other whites out, increase the school quotas for BLMers, and payoff BLM as a sort of reparations-tuition indulgence.

That's why it is vital that it be THEIR CHILDREN.

Its not OK to throw other White people's children under the bus which they would be only too happy to do. No. It must be their kids directly who pay the price for their ideology.

If everyone is “racist” then by it’s own definition, No one is “racist”.
When will they finally see the logical outcome of calling everyone around you racist if they are different than you.
Common sense never has been a strong point with idiots.
It demands thought. And giving back, not just taking.
