"The first African American to win the Scripps National Spelling Bee" reveals an important point about leftist race obsessions.
Can you spell merit? More importantly, do you know what it means? How about Murraya? Zaila Avant-garde, a 14 year old from Louisiana, can spell these words correctly — and a whole lot more — as she did last Thursday night at the 2021 Scripps National Spelling Bee competition, emerging as champion.
This young adolescent female — oh these identifiers are soooooo important — is also, as many noted, "the first African American to win the Scripps National Spelling Bee." Her race or her sex or her age didn't (dis)advantage her; she won because of her ability to spell the selected words correctly more often than her talented competitors. Merit!
Well, duh! But the equity folks think females or people of some colors require special rules to win because (whisper, whisper) they're not as smart, not as good. They don't say that out loud, but really, that's what these equity folks really mean. President Joe Biden has often stated this out loud. And you and I know that these equity believers are...ra-a-acists!
According to the New York Post:
Zaila is the first black contestant to win in 93 editions of the contest — which was canceled last year amid the COVID-19 pandemic — since 1998, when Jody-Anne Maxwell of Jamaica became the first winner from outside the US.
Her win also breaks a streak of at least one Indian American champion every year since 2008.
"Indian American." "Jamaica." People from there have some color also.
Oh, by the way, here are the other finalists.
As mentioned, only equity ra-a-acists would see something wrong with this picture.

DemocRATs are not going to like this. I am watching for the excuses.
“But the equity folks think females or people of some colors require special rules...”
In searching for a movie to watch it had “Women Directed Films” as a category.
I asked my wife to go to the “Old White Men Directed Films”. She laughed. But when I asked “Alexa” I think she is going to turn us in.
No, of course not.
No. It’s one of the reasons liberals hate Jews.
We prove their gimme system doesn’t work.
The problem is giving out prizes for achievement at all. It’s not about equity for downtrodden minorities. It’s about equity for the incompetent dumbass whites who rely on their position in do-nothing deepstate jobs for a nice living.
Start demanding competence and achievement and they are the one’s who are in trouble, not hard working blacks and latinxxxxxs and any other category of people who don’t enjoy the dumbass white class privilege of rising to the top of the hierarchy in DC while being able to do nothing except schmooze with other equally incompetent dumbass privileged white folks.
The democrats have been glorifying “ebonics”, telling us it is a real language, just like any other, with grammar and syntax. And so, millions of blacks have been kept back from participating in the life of the USA because of their poor speech.
This is intentional. They intend to keep blacks down and miserable, and to blame their failures on Whitey.
Bad speech is just ONE of the things that keep blacks down. This is deliberate. Schools teach that “ebonics” is a legitimate language, equally as good as Standard English.
Perhaps she comes from an intact family...
If anyone is interested, it can be watched from Created Equal: Clarence Thomas in His Own Words at SalemNow.com (because Apple, Netflix, and Amazon all refused to carry it. No surprise there, but when you see the absolute filth Netflix carries, it sharpens the meaning of that observation)
In it, when he decided to go to a seminary prep to finish High School (in preparation to become a Catholic Priest) he was a good student, but the Priest in charge called him in one day and told him he would never be able to succeed unless he learned to speak English properly. Apparently, in the part of Alabama he was born and raised, they spoke a version of English called Gullah which was more like creole, and nearly indecipherable to others.
He said it hurt him to hear that from the Priest, but he recognized it was true. So he he learned to speak (in his words) "The King's English".
Yes, exactly!
Well, Bill Cosby ignited a witch hunt when he strayed off the DNC plantation and engaged in non-commie wrongthink. Not that BC might not have engaged in some really questionable practices, but his railroading was a prequel for Kavanaugh. So sayeth the judge who overturned his conviction. BC might not be innocent, but he is not guilty of what his supposed masters laid out for him.
That’s why they demonize Asians as white-adjacent, only succeeding by submitting and joining evil white-supremacy. Their success is considered proof they are bad and part of the systemic oppression.
