Guest Post by Paul Craig Roberts
The Biden Regime is using federal money to bribe the Aggies, Texas A&M University, to come up with ways to advance “race-based hiring” in public schools. https://texasscorecard.com/investigations/texas-am-advancing-race-based-hiring-in-schools/
Possible you remember or have heard that Martin Luther King and the civil rights movement was about judging “people by their character and not the color of their skin.” Once perhaps, but it has been a long time since. For half a century skin color has had preference, if it is non-white, in university admissions, employment and promotion.
Feminists latched onto the scheme and the female gender was also privileged.
This is not to say that no blacks and no females are qualified for their position. Many of them are. It is to say that they are in their position despite their qualifications because they constitute a privileged category before the law, a total violation of the US Constitution and its 14th Amendment.
The emphasis on “diversity” has prevailed over the merit-based system into which I was born and grew up. Today merit is considered racist, a white supremacy tool. Many gifted student programs and high schools for the exceptional have been shut down because two few blacks are qualified, and small presence of blacks violates the sacredness of “diversity” and “equity.”
A country whose education, employment and promotion is based on diversity and not on merit is a country that is failing, and most certainly America has long been a failing country. For example, we now have “diversity” appointments to prosecutorial offices such as prosecutors and attorney generals and as judges who have no understanding of law as a shield of the people, but who see it is a weapon to be used against disapproved parties. We see the total collapse of justice in America in the many examples of the Democrats’ Stalin show trials against President Trump and against the alleged “insurrectionists” who attended the Trump rally..
To the few remaining people of my generation it is astonishing that merit, which made America great and a ladder of upward mobility, has been officially cast aside for “diversity” in which advance is based on skin color, gender or self-proclaimed, non-biological gender.
Have the people who have created this deplorable situation ever wondered how a non-merit based mediocre society can be a superpower, an unipolar, a hegemony whose exceptional and indispensable existence gives it right to hegemony over the world?
China, the host of most of American manufacturing must wonder at the American Delusion.
Russia, whose power and economy have been greatly elevated by the mindless American sanctions, must wonder if the USA even qualifies as an opponent.
Even Iran no longer fears the US.
If you are so unfortunate as to live in New York City or other blue cities, your home and your rental properties can be stolen from you by the Democrats’ massive and ongoing wave of immigrant-invaders who can occupy your property in your absence and occupy your rental property between leases and you cannot evict them.
Regardless of the reality in which they live, many Americans still vote Democrat. When a people vote for their own-self destruction, it is clear that the country is finished.
Fort Worth, Texas, has a “cultural awareness program,” called “Diversity Matters Champions.” The city’s Diversity and Inclusion Department lists events, such as LGBT Pride Month, Juneteenth, and Hispanic Heritage Month. If a city employee attends 5 events, they will qualify as a “Diversity Matters Champion” and be qualified for advancement. https://texasscorecard.com/local/fort-worth-employees-can-become-dei-champions/
This is America today. The youth are lost to us, because they are no longer schooled in the virtues of a free society but are propagandized against it as white supremacy. Moreover, the freedom my generation experienced is almost gone, so American youth do not know freedom.
How can this be repaired? How can freedom be resurrected? Not in the public schools. University “education” departments turn out woke morons alienated against their country. Law schools turn out alienated graduates who regard the US Constitution as a racist document and prosecutors who regard law not as a shield of the people but as a weapon to be wielded against the people.
This is all serious and truth. There is no free country here.
As Parts 1, 2, and 3 of The Great Dispossession make clear, our remaining independence is about to be brought to an end.

Not so long ago California and Colorado were Conservative states too. Conservatives have participated in rigged elections, and prayed to the God of those magic people that control the media, central banking and created Communism. Somehow that hasn’t worked.
It hasn’t worked at all for those who are never uplifted by AIPAC’s magic wands.
It’s worked really well for RHINO’s whose campaign coffers are topped off with a small slice of The Magic People’s yearly $Billions they spank out of Uncle Submissive.
When I first started my current job, I saw a wasteful, inefficient office tower, and in my first year, saved the equivalent of my annual salary for the property owners.
They want me to train some of the brighter beaner porters to more advances stuff, and I tell them I will be happy to train anyone who is in this country legally, with the goal of being an American and leaving the old country behind, and that I won’t tolerate a language barrier.
I will not pass my years of experience to some swarthy leech over a White American, and the employer knows it.
How long did it take the HR lady to tell you you’re not a team player and it you don’t get with it you will be replaced?
Maybe Austin or Houston but I know some down home, full grown shit kicking fucking good old boys from Texas. The only woke they are is up for work.
I live amongst many outlaw tough guys but I’ll be damned Bud Light is a common beverage of theirs. lol
Not just Texas they have been going after Florida too, which is why Biden bussed so many illegals to Florida.
Suns out guns out in the gunshine state. Wish we could divide the state in half north and south.
Just throwing this Fred Reed piece in here:

EXCERPT:
The racial element is always there with police because almost all the crime is perpetrated by blacks. At NPR, saying this would elicit cries of racism. NPR does not live in the real world. Cops do. For them, the racial makeup of crime is a matter of daily observation. Blacks dislike cops and cops come not to like blacks. The black world deep in the big cities is another country, another civilization, and immiscible with the outlying white culture. Black cops know this as well as white cops know it.
Until we accept the fact that liberalism is a mental disorder and a huge percentage of blacks are a sub human inferior species and promote white supremacy as a cure to most of America’s social and economic disorders nothing will be restored to a normal state where merit and hard work are rewarded with success
I graduated from A&M with the class of 1974…on time versus with my class. As a matter of fact my class is having their 50th reunion today as I type. I decided not to go as my best friends have passed and won’t be there. Additionally the campus that I remember is long gone too. When the woke stuff hit I sent a copy of Chris Rufo’s work to the former students…..haven’t heard back from them since.
Earl Rudder would be ashamed.
Sorry for your losses. You have a lot of company from your remaining cadre who, I am sure, sorely miss what we all once thought was permanent.
I guess the pride there has been replaced with gay pride. A&M even locked down , and masked up during that idea when going around.
Colleges that are not indoctrinated into Oprah Winfrey mentalities seem few in number anymore.
Your friends have been in the indoctrinated world of corporatocracy making big bucks for 50 years yet one might wonder just how woke they may have become in the environments in which they have worked.
The communists ALWAYS take the cities first before they go full communist rule. Its a no brainer. Its WHY the propaganda and infiltrations are heaviest in cities, only a matter of time, and they play the long game.
Texas Scorecard has been shining a light into the dark corners of Texas politics for years, rotten in The Lone Star State.
Hubris: The Texas Kingmakers
Interesting. Didn’t watch the whole thing , maybe come back to it. Only a few minutes and I completely get it.
Years ago there was an article in the Texas Tribune I believe that accounted for seven people that absolutely controlled politics and the economy in Texas. Most were oil baron types. Have to wonder if the power passed to their offsprings became woke. I guess so.
