What good can possibly come from telling black students that show-your-work math is somehow white math?

What do Andrew Jackson, John C. Calhoun, Stephen Douglas, James Buchanan, Grover Cleveland, Woodrow Wilson, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden have in common? All of course have been either Democratic presidents or p**********l contenders spanning the long history of the oldest political party in continuous existence on the face of this earth. But they have something else in common. Each of these Democratic leaders has been a practitioner of the politics of skin color. More to the point, each has done so in a dangerous way, not to mention an aggressively similar way as well. This is especially the case for Calhoun, Obama, and Biden.
Conventional wisdom has it that the Democratic party of today is in no way to be compared with either the openly r****t Democratic party of the pre-Civil War era or with the post-Civil War Democratic party that gave birth to the original Jim Crow.
Today’s Democratic party is certainly far removed from the Democratic Party of 1924 which had no black delegates at its national convention and failed to include an anti-Ku Klux Klan plank in its party platform. Or is it?
But when matters turn to the twin subjects of race and racial politics, conventional wisdom is wrong. Both Democratic parties, then and now, operate on the basis of what can only be labeled the politics of skin color (or POSC).
Let’s go two steps further. Both Democratic parties have done—and, if not stopped, will continue to do—significant harm to b***k A******ns, not to mention the country at large, even as they presume to be doing good. More than that, both Democratic parties have favored a strong central government when it comes to advancing its own version of the politics of skin color.
Despite his r****t assumptions and states’ rights stance, John C. Calhoun no doubt thought that he was doing the good and right thing by seeking the support of the federal government when it came to preserving, advancing, and perpetuating what he termed the “positive good” of black s***ery. When the newly formed Republican party came to national power in 1860, that support was gone and the result was civil war.
And today? The Democratic party of Barack Obama and Joe Biden, followed by the Democratic party of Joe Biden and Barack Obama, has renewed their party’s ancient commitment to POSC, aided and abetted by their party’s modern commitment to centralized solutions. Like Calhoun before them, these Democrats are in the process of unwittingly doing significant damage to both black America and to the country at large.
Unwittingly? Let’s concede the best of intentions to all three before surveying the actual damage and speculating about possible outcomes.
Let’s begin with the current buzz term, Critical Race Theory, which refuses to pay attention to anything other than skin color while promoting r****t policies as the only answer to white r****m of the past and present, whether real or imagined or reimagined. That would be the same white r****m that animated the Democratic party of yesteryear.
With the concession to Calhoun extended to modern Democrats, it remains fair to wonder what possible good could possibly come from turning race against race or from teaching the young that some are privileged and some are victims, based solely on skin color.
R********ns for s***ery is essentially a r****t proposal. It would make more sense to offer money to help repair the lives of those, both black and white, deliberately brought into the world without a father. Such a policy might help to make amends for the unintentional consequences of nearly a century of welfare-state policies. The harm, after all, is immediate, and the damage has been incalculable.
Now with education, what good can possibly come from telling black students that show-your-work math is somehow white math? Or from purging something called “writing white” from student papers? For that matter, in what sense is the k*****g of inner-city charter schools a positive good (to borrow from Calhoun’s defense of s***ery)? This action will leave the b****s subservient to the Democrats for every. And that is what the Left wants!
