Anyone who has any idea of world history knows what the Cultural Revolution was in China. For those of you less educated, it was a heinous time in the history of China where the Communist Party decided that educated people were dangerous and needed to be taken down a peg–or just killed outright. It went a long way to making the population compliant to the communist regime. Make no mistake, there was nothing cultural about this event. It was marshal law and brainwashing of the highest order. It was carried out through intimidation and indoctrination, especially of the younger generations who didn’t know any better.
Does this sound in any way familiar to our circumstances now? Well, if you said no, think again. Although we have not been subjected to mass murder–yet–as a populace, we are being intimidated constantly and our children are definitely being indoctrinated. Most college campuses are filled with liberal teachers who seek not to just teach the subject assigned to them, but to indoctrinate the students in their liberal principles. They shroud their ideas with terms like “diversity,” “equal opportunity,” “microaggression,” “racism,” “bigot,” “sexist,” and many others. To disagree with them, you risk being labelled as some sort of monster, bent on the destruction of humanity and all that is good and pure. Dare say that you think perhaps performance should be used as a measuring stick rather than awards based on gender, race, religion, etc. and you will be a pariah. Grades and working hard are down played, unless you are a special interest group currently favored. If you are white, christian, male, heterosexual and middle class good luck, you were docked 50 points just for having the nerve to compete. Your ‘white privilege’ has given you an unfair advantage and it doesn’t matter if you are the best candidate or the hardest working, you don’t count anymore—unless of course you agree that you are a pathetic privileged spoiled son of a plantation owning slaves. Of course these places no longer exist in the United States, but that doesn’t matter. Whites must continue to pay for the sins of their fathers(even if your family never owned slaves or did anything the least bit racist) forever. Blacks cannot succeed as long as there are any white people in positions of authority. Now, you may substitute gay for black, male for white, etc etc.
I watched a brief video today of young white male on a school campus on the left coast. He was attempting to grow dreadlocks in his scraggly blond hair. A young black woman with an semi-afro accosted him and told him he was not allowed to wear dreads because it was her culture and he was just not allowed to do it. She blocked him trying to walk away and even put her hands on him. Now, imagine if you will, a young white male stopping a young black woman with straightened hair and physically restraining her while explaining to her that she could not straighten her hair because straight hair was culturally a white trait. Yeah. Think about it. Would that person be expelled from school? Made to take sensitivity classes? Publicly excoriated? Have to go into hiding because of death threats? Yes, all of the above would be true.
This is how ridiculous our society has become. Inclusion is only indicated for a select few. Shouldn’t that young black woman be flattered that a white person sought to imitate her race? Is that not the highest form of compliment? What exactly does this young woman want out of life? Total domination and control over anyone that disagrees with her? How far will she go to push her agenda? She put her hands on this boy. The very thing that Trump’s campaign manager is now facing charges for in Florida. And he is backed up by Secret Service testimony. This woman accosted a total stranger(and who knows, perhaps he has black DNA in his background), knowing nothing about him, and tried to dictate how he fixed his hair. What would she do to someone over an important issue? I shudder to think. And yes, I said black. It is a descriptor. It is not racism. All blacks are NOT African. As long as we are white, they are black. Because as soon as African American is no longer special enough, it too will become offensive and you won’t be able to say that either. I am jumping the gun and going straight to being ‘offensive’ right now. I mean nothing by the descriptor other than the color of the skin.
So, when is this nonsense going to stop. Blacks and other minorities has the opportunities that everyone else in this country have. There is no ‘white privilege’ any more than there is true privilege for rich people. Most rich people are poisoned by their wealth. Women can do what ever they want. Gays can work where ever they want. Opportunity abounds. Will there be failures? Of course there will. That’s life cupcake. Can you blame all your failures on others? Sure you can, but you won’t learn how to succeed unless you embrace your failures. Success is not what teaches people, failure is. Getting everything your heart desires often results in depression and a feeling of emptiness. It is the journey that is fulfilling much more than the destination. The special interest groups seek to bypass the journey altogether and skip straight to the destination. And anyone that dares say they have to journey like the rest of us, watch out, the PC Po Po will come and get you.
