QUESTION ASKED: "CAN AMERICA EVER ESCAPE RACE?"

"I can hire one half of the working class to kill the other half" — Jay Gould

“Can America ever escape race?” is a question asked by Glenn Loury in a recent article in the online magazine UnHerd which complains that color-blindness in public policy is never really colorblind. No sh-t Sherlock. To prove unknowingly his point, he even ends his article by whining, “[i]ndifference to the roots of racial inequality is actually inconsistent with achieving colorblindness in the conduct of our public affairs”. For an online magazine that tries and claims to go against the herd mentality of mass media, a lot of space is spent and wasted on actually enforcing it.

As I have written about extensively and will not repeat here, racism and race struggle are simply a subset of classism and class struggle. E.g., THEY HATE IF YOU'RE CLEVER AND DESPISE A FOOL: RACE AND CLASS; 2084: TECHNOLOGICAL SOCIETY 12 Rules For Life in the Inner Party; EXISTENTIAL PHILOSOPHY OF LAW . Because classism is a necessary attribute of all human society in this life and in any next, social classes and class struggle are a necessary part of all human society in this life; in any next, I assume class struggle will be lacking because everyone will accept their place in heaven’s hierarchy and probably in hell’s also —- at least according to Dante’s Divine Comedy. I have contemplated possible reasons for such reality in some of my other works. E.g., WHY DOES GOD HATE THE POOR?.

Because I do not want to repeat the previous conceptual analysis, this article will be short and is primarily an emotional response to this continually performative nonsense in which writers of all types make a good living pontificating on the need to deal with the causes of “inequality” instead of acknowledging that class inequality is a necessary part of life. Eliminating all “racial” inequality will just lead to the creation of some other nominal inequality that is disguised class inequality because: the United States cannot admit to the existence of class inequality and most definitely will never escape it because it is a foundational and necessary attribute of all human society. This delusion, as with most ruling class delusions, HURTS THE INDIVIDUALS IN THE LOWER CLASSES EMOTIONALLY, SPIRITUALLY, AND PHYSICALLY much more than any above them. I know this from personal experience in life independent of my hundreds of pages of conceptual analysis of it.

I was admitted to Harvard Law School as an unusual but still as what now would be called a DEI admission: poor White Trash refugee from Yugoslavia, peasant parents who did not graduate grammar school and were illiterate, and a Veteran who worked his way through a commuter school in Chicago but with high LSAT scores. As far as I experienced, we were the smallest minority at HLS and we were in no mood to help each other survive because we were too busy trying to survive. As the Powers such as Jay Gould know, they can always count on us being willing to kill each other to survive. It was a miserable existence and the closest I ever came to suicide. The only thing that kept me going was a hate of my social betters and a will to beat them.

Of course, I did not beat them. No social trash ever does — White or Black. Unless removed from your social class as a young child, the Powers will always know that you are not one of them and will work to assure that you do not become one of them (though there is always hope for your children — my child at least succeeded in becoming one of them and thus no longer likes me but I am fine with that). The Need For Separation (Class Structure). It took me years to realize why and that they are right. By the time I got out of law school, I had no respect for the Law. "Laws are like sausages; it is best not to see them being made". The Powers respect the Law because it is their source of a monopoly on Power. If they let me in on it, because I had no respect for it, there was a good chance I would try to screw up the good thing they have going. They were right; that is exactly what I started doing upon graduation until I learned too late that I was beating my head against the wall and wrong in my intentions and beliefs. What is it like studying for a JD in Harvard Law School?, How did I get into Harvard Law School?

The few who performatively beat them, such as Glenn Loury, sell their souls to the Powers. He happened to have sold his soul to what are commonly called “conservative” Powers, but he could have just as equally sold it to “liberal” Powers; in the end, they are all in the same union. In Loury’s case, the selling of his soul to these devils or gods — I see little difference in social reality except for one of degree not substance —- is relatively harmless. Supposedly, in the finest tradition of Christian sycophants, he has found Christ late in life and thus is now free to preach on the sins of doing drugs, having baby mamas, and beating on his baby mamas. Whatever, if St. Augustine could do it, no reason Loury should not get away with it. If he did not write his nonsense, instead of him some other social trash would get in good with the Powers by writing the same nonsense — it requires little imagination and soon can be done by AI. There are limited spots for social trash sycophants, he might as well take a slot instead of it being someone else.

However, as an extensive reader of history, I know that such selling of one’s soul by lower social order trash is not always harmless. Instead of becoming harmless writers, many social trash such as me have in the past sold their souls to the likes of communism, fascism, feminism, Islam, or whatever -ism or power fad is presently the most popular for justifying the poor killing each other. Of course, at the initial selling of one’s soul, it was based upon Hope and a concept of the Good. Few knew that eventually their Good would become what their -ism or cult eventually did become as Evils. Such is the problem of making deals for one’s soul with devils or gods who do know how it will end. So, I did not want to sell my soul to any Power. Dummy. Too late now, no one wants it. What is it like studying for a JD in Harvard Law School?.

Bottom-line: pontificating about a need to eliminate class inequalities including subset race inequalities does no one any good except for the Powers using the pontification to look good and thus to maintain their Power. If someone wanted to help me or wants to help any social trash succeed in life, they should instill in them as should have been instilled in me from day one the truth: regardless of how smart I think I am and regardless of how successful materially they let me become that I will never be one of them. With such knowledge as a young child, I had a chance at least of placing my Faith and Hope for survival on Love — possibly Love of God but at least of my Self and Others —- instead of having Hate as my only option for survival. Society should be openly stratified into classes, hierarchy, castes, or whatever acceptance of social class struggle requires. It should be a situation similar to military hierarchy: have officers and enlisted and within each there are ranks. Advancement is possible based upon rigorously defined pragmatic criteria and upon action but not about any concerns for equality or of eliminating inequality. If pragmatic success for winning a society’s social or actual war with God’s creation of this Godless world requires race, sex, or whatever discrimination the Powers believe they need, then so be it —- until a loss requires creating different types of class struggle. In the end, as always, the Powers will always be able to hire one half of the working class to kill the other half.
