Yes, the Left uses accusations of racism - partially because the BoomerCons cave so quickly to avoid them.
But the Left set a trap when the BoomerCons agreed with the idea that there were no distribution differences in ability between races, and ethnic groups.
That is obviously wrong, as we all know, but the civil rights law is set up so that any unequal outcomes becomes “disparate impact” even if the procedures of that organization are scrupulously race neutral.
My late father attended the American Physical Society Conferences for 30 years. In that time he saw one black physicist. Lots of Jews, of course.
Now according to disparate impact, that outcome has to be a consequence of systematic racism, because we are required to pretend there are no group distribution differences in intellectual ability between Jews and Blacks.
That’s complete nonsense, of course, but it establishes the legal predicate for civil rights intervention.
The government now has the basis for intervention to correct the “systematic racism”. Which will always fail, but become grounds for even more draconian intervention.
Unfortunately yes. Undeniable facts are used as a pretext by the Powers That Be to make the lives of the citizens even more of a living heck than they already are.
Say one word which they don’t like, and you are done for. Orwell says „hello again“.
One would hardly think that the lyrics to a song of Judas Priest‘s called „Some heads are gonna roll“ were written forty years ago:
„The power-mad freaks who are ruling the earth
will show how little they think you’re worth;
with animal lust they will devour your life,
they‘ll slice your words to bits like a knife“
It seems so much more fitting for these days…
