The Discreet Racism of the Liberal Elite

by

Hoity-toity white Manhattan liberals profess to love diversity in public education; but they sure are careful to make sure none of their own children go to school with those awful, underachieving brown people.

Ironically, these well-educated, affluent “good thinking” Manhattan (white) residents now confront the same tribulations faced by down-market white Southerners over court-ordered integration post Brown v. Board of Education (1954). But, unlike these bigoted Rednecks, white liberal New Yorkers, aided by the racially hypersensitive New York Times, need not block the doorway of junior top-flight nearly all white school and shout, “Segregation today, segregation tomorrow….” while the federal government orders the New York City’s police to forcibly enroll residents of nearby public housing as junior’s classmates. These white liberals are expert at walking on eggshells (I’m not a racist but….”) and playing politics to keep their kids in white schools; there is even a website on how to game the system.

As one follows the Times’ accounts of school attendance zone wars, few Times’ readers will notice the glaring omissions from these stories. While the newspaper identifies multiple underperforming largely African American and Hispanic schools, the problems that plague them are handled with kid gloves. A naive Times reader would surmise that the roots of the city’s segregated school system reside in white resistance to the benefits of diversity, or an unfamiliarity with the wonderful programs at largely black schools. Off the agenda is the possibility that affluent white “resisters” are behaving rationally — accurately perceiving unspeakable situations when it comes to their children’s well-being. To be impolite, these liberals are secret race-realists not fooled by experts touting the alleged benefits of diversity.

Minorities exist in the liberal world to provide entertainment, Democrat votes, and objects for their conspicuous virtue signaling. When push comes to shove, even they don’t buy that “Diversity is our strength” bullcrap they’re selling.

And maybe the reason they screech constantly about the alleged racism of other people is to keep anyone from looking too closely at their own.

  1. And history will probably misrecord their antics, too.

    Remember the 3/5 compromise? Most people think that it was made because Southerners didn’t want slaves counted, and Northerners did.

    Actually, the opposite is true. The South wanted slaves counted in the census because more people, more representatives, and since slaves could not vote, more power to those who could.

    The North did not want slaves to count in the census because it gave Southern states more power without more voters.

    Liberals of 2017 have but one statue in the center of the public square in Utopia: equality. They have defined total egalitarianism which is a transcendent state in which there is neither suffering, desire, nor sense of self, and the subject is released from the effects of karma. Also known as Nirvana.

    Any lying, cheating, stealing, mass silencing, repression, etc. that is necessary to progress toward egalitarianism is justified.

    Minorities may be very low on the egalitarianism progression scale. Therefore, the liberal must attempt to raise the minority toward assimilating the liberal goals, but, at the same time, the liberal can not allow the minority to impede the grand crusade of egalitarianism itself.

    The ultimate “fact” is that in the name of all holy egalitarianism, hypocrisy is impossible. The ends justify the means. To say otherwise is to doubt the holiness and sanctity of 2017 style liberalism.

  3. I think it’s well known that “good schools” is a euphemism for “schools with, uhm, a student body of light complexion”.

    Lefties only “care” so they can prance about showing off their SJW bona fides. Actual sacrifice is to be made by little people whether they like it or not. They don’t care if Joe Sixpack’s kid has to compete with immigrant labor but they’ll be damned if little Aidan or Snowflake will suffer.

    Aside: I’ve long been wondering why the left (and many in the establishment right) are so concerned about the plight of, say, poor Salvadorans or Mexicans and seemingly unconcerned about our own poor.

    I ran across a book review yesterday that, to me, shouts this question.

    In short, the state of the North American Indian is beyond shameful and a lot of the problem is government and well-intentioned (read: asinine) policy (US and Canada). For instance:

    Consider just one statistic: the leading cause of death for Indian boys ages 10 to 14 is suicide.

    I’d give a month’s pay if a “journalist” asked Chuck-U Schumer or Ditzy Pelosi what s/he plans to do for our own citizens (or stop doing as it’s making things worse).

    And also as Weapons against their political enemies.

  6. Surprised that the post didn’t highlight one of the more notable casualties of the NYC school location wars: Mr & Mrs Samantha Bee, who are more than happy to call out anyone else for their perceived racism, sexism, etc-ism, but don’t want their kids to move a few blocks away to a school with a little more diversity than is comfortable. They, of course, deny any discriminatory attitudes in their opposition to the change.
