The Demise of White Americans

Paul Craig Roberts

As I recently explained, American universities are far more committed to creating an incompetent society consisting of a Tower of Babel than they are to creating well educated citizens that the society needs.  For decades American universities have discriminated against white applicants of merit in favor of less capable “preferred minorities.  This is called “white privilege.”

To accommodate the influx of unqualified preferred minorities, the universities that had high standards had to lower them, so the final product is less capable than prior to the “affirmative action” era.  This is not to say that all racially-favored applicants are stupid. It is to say that the emphasis on skin color as the basis of admission resulted in many graduates being below the previous standard.  

After more than a half century, the racial discrimination against white meritorious candidates was ruled unconstitutional recently by the Supreme Court.  I agree with Heather Mac Donald that the Court’s ruling means little as the university administrations are simply moving from the use of any objective admission tests to purely subjective tests in which the race of the applicant is read from the subjective responses.  Perhaps the white meritorious candidates who would be rejected will learn to mimic in their responses those of the preferred people of color.

But the issue is not only unequal racial treatment in university admissions. The much larger problem is that American universities value race over merit and prefer a non-meritorious society to the United States Constitution.  This is the general problem of all US institutions, not only universities and public schools, which are degenerating into indoctrination centers against the white majority, but also of corporations, such as Starbucks that discriminates against white Americans in hiring and promotion, and Democrat legislators, governors, mayors, judges and prosecutors who believe that blacks should be punished less, if at all, than whites for the same crimes. San Francisco and other Democrat-misruled cities, even permit blacks to steal $950 dollars from stores without being charged.  The $950 limit is not a one-time life limit.  It is a one-time limit per incident.  The black thief can steal $950 each time. In other words, the black can hit 8 different stores hourly and get away with 8 times $950 daily, or $7,600 for an eight-hour day.  Of course, the black has to sell at a discount.  Still, permissible robbery from legitimate business is the best job available.  Scores of stores have closed in San Francisco and now Gump’s is threatening to leave.   

It is paradoxical that the disregard by Democrats of the 14th Amendment, passed in order to give equality under the law to blacks, and the perversion by the EEOC of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, passed to give statutory enforcement to the 14th Amendment, are the consequence of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, the implementation of which by the EEOC’s green light to racial quotas violated the statutory language of the Act. What was legislated in order to give equal protection to blacks now denies equal protection to whites.  This is called “white privilege.” For the full story, see my book, The New Color Line.

We are already experiencing the consequences of a non-merit based society.  The quota-admitted and quota-hired black prosecutors of Trump in New York and Atlanta have brought prosecutions based on no known laws and have no evidence except the insinuations of the presstitutes, which are designed to convict Trump in the media prior to trial as was done with police officer Chauvin.  The constant media propaganda against Trump, aside from the anti-Trump biases of the jury that will be chosen, mean that jurors, including black ones, will be too terrified of retribution from media, Black Lives Matter, Antifa, President Biden, and Woke Harvard law professors to find Trump innocent, just as they ignored the massive evidence that cleared police officer Chauvin. In highly politicized cases, the purpose of a jury is to protect themselves.

So much for justice in America.  It simply no longer exists, especially for the white majority.  In America today, Colorado courts do not permit a cake baker to refuse to bake a cake he doesn’t want to bake.  This is called freedom. https://adflegal.org/support/enough-is-enough?sourcecode=11028810_r850&utm_source=babylonbee&utm_medium=email_acquisition&utm_campaign=jack-update&utm_content=cta_0 

American universities are destroying the value of a university degree.  In their pursuit of a Tower of Babel, the Ivy League and California universities have, by lowering standards, graduated less qualified graduates.  Soon, if not already, there will be no difference in the human capital of a Harvard graduate and a graduate of a local community college.  Indeed, the graduate of the local community college, depending on its location, might have a better grasp of history and reality than the Harvard graduate.

Another factor working to destroy the value of a university degree is the lack of employment opportunities that produce incomes that justify the cost of the degree.

Yet another factor is that many white Americans, especially males, a very large percentage of the US population, do not want to work for corporations and to be bosses.  The reason they don’t want to work for corporations is that the corporations discriminate against them in favor of “preferred minorities.”  The reason they do not want to be bosses is that they are powerless and cannot deliver results, because women, preferred minorities, and sexual perverts can bring charges against them that will be accepted on face value as proof.  Today in America all a white corporate boss can do is to overlook poor job performance, absenteeism, disruption of the work environment, etc., because if he tries to do anything about it, he is accused of racist, misogynist, homophobic, transphobic behavior, and a member of one of the preferred classes will replace him.  If he ignores the poor performances, he fails the expectations placed on him, and is replace by one of the preferred classes.

I recently had a number of white youth tell me that they would feel more secure working for a telephone scam operation than working for an American corporation.

Today it makes little, if any, sense for a white heterosexual male to attend an American University.  As an attendee he is indoctrinated that he is a racist and a misogynist, an oppressor of people of color and women.  He might also be required to take the dangerous Covid “vaccine” as an admission requirement, thus risking his health and life. Both US medical and law schools have declared their intention of favoring “diversity” over the white population and have committed to expanding, regardless of merit, graduates of color.  So has the US military.  Both the black Secretary of Defense and Biden’s black nominee as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff have declared that the US military has too many white officers and their promotions are on hold until blacks and transgendered have advanced in the ranks.

Today a white heterosexual, a normal person, who joins the US military is stupid beyond belief, but there are many stupid white people. The question before them is whether their stupidity means their demise.
