“Like many white people, I’ve tried to deepen my understanding of systemic racism in recent months...”

I have told this story before. But I think it fits here.
I spent many years teaching in urban high schools. And one day I got a packet from the Gates Foundation. It contained 30 blank applications for college scholarships. And there was an instructional sheet for me, the teacher.
I was to pass out the applications to my homeroom kids. Most of these kids came from very poor families. So this sounds really good, right? Bill Gates sure is a swell guy.
But wait. The instructional sheet had a list of kids who were eligible for this scholarship. It was an extensive list. Blacks, Native Americans, Pacific Islanders, Mexican-Americans, etc.,etc.
Only one group was missing. I was not to give out any applications to kids of European descent. I guess I was supposed to just ignore them when handing out the applications.
To hell with that! I will not be a party to any racist program. I threw the entire packet in the trash.
Gates is an ugly little outcast that somehow got massive amounts of $$$, now is obsessed with power. I used to think the recent Left (since the 1980s) was Marxist. Now I am pretty convinced it’s Maoist. I am seeing a lot of what happened in the Cultural Revolution in China, happening in America. This is not going to end well. FOR THEM.
