From the Washington Post, American “equality” continues to evolve.
“Edward Blum, whose lawsuit prompted the U.S. Supreme Court to strike down the use of racial preferences in college admissions, targeted the Fearless Fund in early August, claiming it engaged in “explicit racial exclusion” by operating a grant program “open only to Black females.” The lawsuit — which asked the court to prevent the fund from selecting its next round of grant winners — is one of the most prominent in a flurry of recent lawsuits and legal claims by conservative activists aimed at applying the Supreme Court’s insistence on race-blind college admissions practices to the corporate sphere of hiring, contracting and investment.”
Medicynical Note: America is like the proverbial prostitute who after many years on the street decides that after all she is a virgin.
America had 300 years of slavery, segregation, Jim Crow, and separate but unequal laws that were aided and abetted by it’s legal system, including its (not so) Supreme Court and “constitution.” Now with incredible chutzpah, America piously claims that the past was a mulligan and and that we are henceforth pious vestal virgins and everyone shall be treated equally.
This self righteousness goes to the extreme that several states and one political party oppose teaching the history of slavery, segregation and racism and all their horrors. They even tout the “benefits” of slavery.
Its a little like a 300 year foot race during which some of the competitors are required to wear 20lb weights around their necks. At the end of 300 years the racers are then told the they had to continue racing from where ever they finished the previous race but that henceforth they would be able to proceed without the 20 lb weights…….. and we’ll call it being equal.
Unbelievable.
