the pretend successors to King’s civil rights movement decided to throw his entire career into the dumpster and adopt racial essentialism.
the idea of a color-blind society, in which people are truly judged by merit and character over skin color, is no longer even a desirable goal.
Indeed, the academic writings of critical race theory explicitly denounce color blindness as a white supremacist ideal that “preserves White privilege” and is “equivalent to emphasizing the plight of Nazis and the plight of White supremacists.”
It would probably come as some surprise to Dr. King that he is a white supremacist, but this is the state of leftist academia today.
They have canceled his message of anti-racism and replaced it with their own ugly message of racial essentialism. Black students are being taught that they cannot succeed because they are black. White students are being taught that they are guilty of racism and oppression that not even their parents were alive to witness.
Meanwhile, a vicious lie about “systemic racism” has been elevated to the status of unquestionable truth. American life, it holds, is irredeemably and incurably racist, and this fact is meant to justify the imposition of tyrannical speech codes and deliberate race-based injustices — for example, discrimination against Asians applying to college or against people who need medical care but don’t belong to the correct race.
