White Privilege: The Largest Affirmative Action Program in Human History

Most of us are aware of the recent Supreme Court ruling that universities can no longer consider race as a part of their admissions selection process. I recently came across an article in the White Supremacist Journal, correction – Wall Street Journal. A letter, signed by 13 Attorney Generals on the white right and sent to the largest companies, can be viewed as a threat of legal action. The phony narrative that Black people are taking their jobs has been going on since the early 20th century long before affirmative action. This is pure projection, and they know it.

The white supremacist and the wider dominant society have been benefiting from government-mandated assistance since before the founding of the country. We can look at the Homestead Act which gave millions of acres of land to white European immigrants and provided loans and training for them to operate it. The GI Bill provided benefits such as low-cost mortgages, low-interest loans to start a business or farm, and payments of tuition and expenses to attend college. Up to this present day, our tax money paid to subsidize the bigoted South Afrikaner’s different businesses such as Tesla. Tesla received a Department of Energy loan of 465 million dollars when it was still getting off the ground. In the tech world, you hear Black entrepreneurs and those who work at VCs discuss how hard it is to get funding when their white counterparts do gain access to capital.

We saw white privilege on full display during the college admissions scandal a few years ago. Wealthy celebrities and other parents paid brides to coaches and test administrators to get their kids into college. Without this, their chances would be next to none. The investigators found out about this only because they were tipped off. The white corporate media didn’t do a deep dive into how widespread this is at universities. You best believe this was going on at a lot more colleges than those discussed in the news. All the sports teams at universities that don’t bring in any money such as rowing, swimming, and wrestling have all been vehicles to get white students into top schools. The interesting thing about the whole fake outrage over affirmative action is that it created the perception that Black students were being accepted into these schools in high numbers. Nothing could be further from the truth.

The fake anger and rage about affirmative action, CRT, and woke is all projection. The white right wants to turn the clock back in this country and the left will stand by to watch. As the dominant society’s numbers continue to dwindle and we seek justice more things will happen precipitously. We must understand we are under attack in all areas of activity. We must act solely in ways that fortify us and help to empower ourselves.
