Leftists in nation is not conducive to maintaining a free society:
The Washington Post published an article Thursday that called for a constitutional amendment to ban inequality and racist speech.
As part of the publication’s series published Thursday called, “Fix this democracy—now, 38 ideas for repairing our badly broken civic life,” the Post featured author Ibram X. Kendi’s proposal for “A Constitutional Amendment On Equality.”
Kendi writes that the United States needs, “an Anti-Bigotry Amendment that would constitutionalize a critical principle: Group inequity is evidence of discrimination.”
“The amendment would make group inequity illegal and ban the incitement of bigotry, as the incitement of anti-Semitism is banned in Germany. Claims that inequity is evidence of a group’s dysfunction or inferiority would be outlawed. The amendment would establish equality as a human right and inequality as anti-American and anti-human,” he continues, seemingly endorsing a crackdown on free speech.
Kendi is a professor and director of American University’s “Antiracist Research & Policy Center…”
“The Anti-Bigotry Amendment would permanently establish a federal agency that investigates inequities and punishes institutional and individual discriminators. This Department of Equity would repair inequities caused by past discrimination. It would be charged with building a nation of equal opportunity where only the diverse materials of merit pave the roadway toward success. This is the only equitable path toward a healthy U.S. democracy,” Kendi also wrote…
Another idea was to “End American Arrogance,” by teaching everyone more about the past injustices of America “neuter the concept of American exceptionalism and perhaps temper American arrogance.”
You cannot have freedom, or a nation for that matter, with people like this. This is why you have nations and borders – to keep people who are this different from ever setting foot in your country, and to have a place to expel those who are already inside.
That’s the real problem. The real problem is not that we are letting foreigners in. Rather the problem is that we are not expelling characters like this, who have no problem turning our nation into a state of martial law to further a nanny state designed to punish anyone who disagrees with them.
Until the Apocalypse comes….
Spread r/K Theory, because there can be no living with them now
Lol, lefties.
Every authoritarian state always begins by silencing all criticism of its doctrine but it’s never just to be mean. It ALWAYS gives a ‘Reason’.
Be honest: ‘Diversity™’ makes free speech impossible.
Diversity™ means everyone MUST think alike about the agenda of ‘diversity™’.
LIE: Diversity™ is our strength.
TRUTH: Diversity™ is our Misery.
Ibram describes himself as a “hardcore humanist and softcore vegan” who wants to “neuter American exceptionalism”. That’s classic projection.
i just wait for the day when HuffPo gets Charlie Hebdo’d
Amusing, because it will never happen. God I wish we had the 1A and 2A up here in Canada…you probably don’t feel lucky with these kooks around, but you are.
I do honestly wonder what the landscape will be like, when interest rates rise, choke off borrowing and (my guess) eight out of every ten jobs (which are dependent upon government spending propped up by massive borrowing) disappears.
Every “highly successful” industry that grew during the last 30 years exists only because of massive borrowing, and that borrowing was only possible because it coincided with a bull market for debt. It’s like putting the construction of one factory after another on the credit card, and using the output of the factories to pay the credit card bills. One day rates rise enough that the card gets declined, and in one fell swoop both the factories close and the debts are defaulted upon (so the future cash flows promised by the debt evaporate, too.) People go from employed, with savings (in the form of debt) and wealthy to unemployed and impoverished in the blink of an eye.
The illusion of success and wealth fuels the existence of this clown Kendi’s job. His will be among the first to evaporate, and if he moves from academic to realpolitik promotion of his ideas, he’ll need to be ejected, by helicopter ride if necessary.
