In the wake of George Floyd’s death, all of the major institutions of American society and culture – from corporations and universities to media and entertainment to the arts and sciences – have embraced the view that the only way to reckon with systemic racism is to ensure equality of outcome. In her brand new book, When Race Trumps Merit, Heather Mac Donald exposes how the application of such a radical theory is not only undermining our academic standards but is poised to cause real harm and damage to society by lowering standards in science and medicine, erasing classic music and art, undermining military preparedness, and compromising the safety of our cities—and will ultimately eradicate Western civilization as we know it.

Knowledge, Skills, Abilities and Experience, with an objective, content valid testing process. Yes, have life skills, and other social factors to a very small degree, but do not use gender or race. The last two factors have nothing to do with whether a person is qualified or not.
Affirmative Action is simply Govt. sanctioned discrimination. Utilizing the same tactics used against “people of color” (whatever that means) and women decades ago against Whites and Asians does nothing for “equality” but build resentment, and bitterness.

Vonnegut saw it coming in Harrison Bergeron.

If your grand father or great grand father was a slave, do you think you’d have the knowledge, skills, ability, and experience you have now, especially if you were born before the internet?
I get it, no one wants to take blame for their ancestors

Is hilarious that the average person doesn’t realize that hiring and promoting women of any race was also considered affirmative action.
Less funny is that proportionally women of all races benefited more from affirmative action than the mythical unqualified none white person who stole a job based solely on their race.
That a woman wore this is peak comedy.

So, systemic racism should be embraced to save America from destroying itself via equality?? really?

The down side of modern medicine in America is that too many of the ‘good old boys’ are still alive and many have power or their sons do.
They are currently starting their death throws and willing to do anything and sacrifice much to put America back to what it once was (150 yrs ago).

Big talk… Just Create a Set of laws Which exclusively allows African descendants of forced Generational free labor to stand their grounds by any means necessary when descendants the abusers harm them. only disputable by an independent all black law enforcement branch.

The reality is race trumped merit for hundreds of years — favoring white Europeans over, well, everyone else. Not a whiff of concern from those who benefited as a result. Now, we’re finally working to recognize merit in everyone, and suddenly white Europeans are convinced merit has lost its cache. Reality check: merit has rarely been the trump card in this country. Rarely been the trump card in the world.

“In the wake of George Floyd’s death” … yeah, no body noticed systemic racism before then.
The usual racist apologia, and the usual bigots pop up to show they hear the dogwhistle.

We were so close to perfect! The best and most qualified person for each job. No matter their race, gender, sexuality, religion, etc. So close. And then leftist a**hats, like Gweilo, ruined everything. You might as well just go to MLK Jr.’s grave and take a nice steaming sh*t on his dream. It is YOU who killed it.
P.S. No serious person says “systemic racism”. It demonstrates that you are a pseudo-intellectual college kid who regurgitates whatever your professor tells your is “the truth”.

@lisiva5995 I’m over 60, and never studied politics at uni. However, I did have a few black friends, so I have a little idea of how the real world works for them.
It’s absurd how you KKK types take a few phrases from one of King’s speeches and twist it to mean racism does not exist. He was talking about a DREAM where there was no racism. He spent his life trying to achieve that. Which means correcting the biases, not ignoring them.

When I was six I was playing with a ball in front of a fuel services plant where my father was the COO. A black man came up to me, asked me where to apply for a job and called me sir a lot. I knew something was wrong because no six year old ought to be a sir and I had never been called sir before. On the way home I asked my father if he gave that man a job. He told me no. I asked him why, since that man had been better spoken and better dressed than most of the people who actually worked there. He refused to explain and claimed I would understand when I was older.
Years later I was employed by a university in an enterprise IT role. One of the managers was black. He made a mistake, just as every other manager did from time to time and this was his first mistake, we had some managers who messed up and caused down time in critical infrastructure multiple times a year. Every other manager came down on him until he alleged (correctly in my opinion) racism and was pushed out of management, transferred to a building no one else used and excluded from any form of decision making until he developed mental health problems and quit.
Later my own health declined. I could still work from home and I still had the highest performance reviews out of the 200 employees in the IT department. But I was fired over the objections of my direct supervisor because the CIO didn’t like that I could no longer go to the Christmas party because of my health. I couldn’t believe it. And you often can’t believe that discrimination like this exists until it happens to you. But once your eyes open, you start to see it everywhere else. Unfortunately many white men will never have it happen to them and so will never believe it is real.
While I have seen cases where affirmative action has been abused I have seen far more cases where the opposite has been true, where people who are qualified do not get hired because of factors that have nothing to do with their ability to do the work. So affirmative action is the price we pay because people are racist, ableist, sexist scum bags. Affirmative actions primary objectors are white men who don’t understand what it is to be discriminated against, or white men who want to discriminate and are less able to when affirmative action policies are in place.

Race used to mean nation. It started meaning skin color around the late 19th century in order to create a basis for evolution out of thin air. Think of it: museums paying for the freshly killed skulls of Australian aboriginees to put in displays of how humanity evolved! It’s sick, of course, and evil.
Chattel slavery is an intensely degraded form of other types of slavery. Having a work contract is a very reasonable type of slavery. In ancient times, 7 year work contracts were useful to both master and slave. The word “slave” in it’s lower forms should be applied quite naturally to many jobs that people cannot afford to lose but can hardly tolerate, which common occurrence doesn’t seem like slavery to our trained minds’ eyes, but those jobs don’t have to be the way they are. Greed makes it so.
Racism is making any distinguishment between people based on race, whether that means nationality or skin tone. Many government forms that ask the question are extremely racist!

What a surprise, a title such as ‘When Race Trumps Merit…’ written by an American conservative elitist/conservative think tank fellow (Manhattan Institute) with undergraduate & graduate degrees in English from Ivy League schools… Pseudo-social historical fodder for the ‘white supremacist’ mob. Someone has to provide the ideas & words to parrot in their so-called ‘culture wars’.

There is a problem with this book. Explain how Asians now have the highest standard of living and are the most successful race in the USA?? Because of racism?? I dont think so, its because they WORK HARD to achieve success. Just like every other successful person. You think Oprah or Beyonce or Deznel Washington was a product of racism? There are millions of successful blacks in the USA, and they got there by WORKING HARD, not selling drugs or being in gangs or skipping and failing school.
I heard a black man who was running for Congress in Florida (William Montague) say to black people:
“Your not oppressed, your lazy”. And he is so right. Fathers of black kid to stay with their families and raise the child with both parents. Since the 1960’s black families were 90% together, today only 25% of them have a father figure. THATS YOUR PROBLEM!
