We discriminated against blacks in the past, so whites and asians deserve to be discriminated against in the present. Is this your position?

That is literally the slogan of one of the saints of their ridiculous new religion, Ibram Kendi: "The only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination. The only remedy to present discrimination is future discrimination."

  I was gifted a book by that guy for my child. I opened it up and it literally told my child to "confess" her "racist ideas." Why is Kendi calling out for my two year old to confess to her racism? She has caretakers of every race and I've never seen her react to them differently based on perceived "race." It's almost as if he's trying to program her to be racist. Needless to say I never read the child the book. Perhaps Kendi can take a visit to Africa and witness that there are more slaves today in Africa than any other continent, food for thought for a target audience while he writes his next book. Enjoy some of the earlier writing of Kendi while he went by his previous name (Rogers): >Caucasians make up only 10 percent of the world’s population and that small percentage of people have recessive genes. Therefore they’re facing extinction. Whites have tried to level the playing field with the AIDS virus and cloning, but they know these deterrents will only get them so far. This is where the murder, psychological brainwashing and deception comes into play. >Nevertheless, other than not wanting hate to be the weed that stunts my intellectual growth, I don’t hate white folk because I’m a Christian. How can you hate a group of people for being who they are? Similarly, how can you hate a turtle because it won’t keep up? http://www.thefamuanonline.com/2003/09/09/living-with-the-white-race/ http://www.thefamuanonline.com/2003/09/09/living-with-the-wh...

> We discriminated against blacks in the past, so whites and asians deserve to be discriminated against in the present. Is this your position? White people took everything for hundreds of years. Then, they turned around and said "Oh look, we own everything but let's just forget about skin color now". Discrimination resulted in massive inequality. The median net worth of a white family is $200k. The median net worth of a black family is around $0. (goes up to $20k if you count recent immigrants, it's $8 if you only count people who were shipped here as slaves). My position is that, white people took it all. Now they need to share. It's not discrimination to say that you need to undo stealing for hundreds of years and start on a level playing field, before you forget about skin color.

  So use that then. Take median wealth of applicants families and discriminate against anyone who is richer. Entirely objective metric.

    The counterpoint is probably going to be something along the lines of, what if the median wealth of one family is that way because dad and mom were working 100 hours a week each, fed the kids ramen everyday, and the kid got no attention at all. Then you're comparing that to some family that ate cavier on their yacht everyday while their parents worked 20 hours a week in their medical practice and devoted the entire rest of their time to the kids education and taking the kids on bullshit "volunteering" trips to make the kid look like mother Teresa for his college and med school application. Same family wealth, but clearly cavier kid had the leg up. Maybe better to compare full time wage or something? Personally I would dispense with both race and wealth as metrics.

  I hear Liberia is nice. They speak English and persons of black color have held key political positions for over a hundred years. Former slaves held a great deal of the power there so that should be a great leg up for anybody who can't wait for the slow movement of the wheels of progress stateside. They've also codified white people can't be citizens, so that's one less worry in ways white folk can upset the country.
