The Curse of Institutionalized Envy

“I, as with many other whites, would be happy to acknowledge that I have been the beneficiary of some unearned privilege in life, from being raised by good parents to enjoying good health to benefiting from a good education. But whiteness does not happen to be one of my privileges”.  

– The Unprotected Class

In Rudyard Kipling’s 1899 poem, “The White Man’s Burden”, Kipling called for the colonization of indigenous people on the island of the Philippines during the Spanish-American War, believing the superiority of their American white conquerors could make them more refined.  By 2006, however, American economist William Easterly would have a different take on the burden of the white man.  In his book, Easterly warned of the ineffectiveness of Western intervention in foreign lands where American adventurism was having the effect of creating more harm than good.   

By the 1960s, in the United States, calls for equalization of the races led to both Affirmative Action programs and, later, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion policies that would ditch merit for equality of outcomes.  By lowering standards, race activists vowed to achieve a perfect ratio based on population.  Newly established policies prohibited discrimination in employment, education, and public accommodations.  The results, instead, were a reverse form of discrimination, the exclusive advancement of minorities and women, often despite a lack of credentials.  Colleges and businesses began adding fake departments, i.e., black studies, women's studies, diversity, and equality, to employ their new hires.  No longer were the best and brightest sought; instead, they opted for the colors of the rainbow.  Except, of course, for the NBA, the NFL, etc., where no such balance was required.

In Jeremy Carl’s 2024 book, “The Unprotected Class”, Carl reviews the civil rights laws that initiated reverse racism against whites.  By scapegoating whites, especially white men, collective guilt was used to prevent competition through merit.  In education, entertainment, healthcare, corporations, and government, any perceived differences in outcomes were now considered the result of racism, regardless of obvious cultural, economic, and personal factors. 

The result of antiracist policies was to stigmatize whites through demographic and cultural transformation and sixty years of welfare transfers.  The Great Migration hoped to further genocide white America with 88 million immigrants, including their children.  As such, we now live in a society of anti-white privilege where Coca-Cola tells its employees to try to be less white.  Black power movements, including BLM, demand that "Black" be spelled with a capital B, while "white" remains lowercase.  The Anti-Defamation League called the phrase, “it's OK to be white, a hate slogan, while claims that White Lives Matter were regularly viewed as racist.  Media and entertainment increasingly portrayed whites as villains, while schools implemented Critical Race Theory to agitate minorities against whites.  Even race-blind procedures were demonized when they failed to produce the correct outcomes.

By diminishing all white men as blameworthy, reverse racism acts to transfer the sins from one generation to the next.  By 2019, disaffected young white males would coalesce around a white nationalist movement that opposed immigration and looked to rebuild a destroyed white America. 

Michael Savage, in his 1991 book, “Death of the White Male”, lamented his inability to obtain a college professorship due to affirmative action policies that selected based on race over merit in the late 1970s.  This shift had already been made to create a diverse environment, which Savage deemed as nothing more than anti-white discrimination.  Savage dubbed the new program Affirmative Racism, noting how favoritism was being used to elevate minorities and women.  Noting that “without quality, there is no equality”, Savage revealed how mass producing parity was being accomplished at the expense of excellence.

By 2023, Affirmative Action in college admissions would be struck down by SCOTUS.  Then, on Trump's first day in office, in 2025, he would also issue an executive order overturning LBJ’s 1965 Affirmative Action order.  In addition to ending Affirmative Action and DEI policies, the second Trump administration is also in the process of deporting illegals who were brought in by the millions to change America’s character.  

Until the late 1960s, Americans were 90 percent white.  By 2042, whites are expected to lose their majority status in the United States, with just 49.7 percent of the population, an outcome that is unusual for a country founded by white Europeans. 

At the Witkruis Monument in South Africa, 3000 white crosses mark the murders of white farmers over the past three decades.  The white population, which represents a mere 7 percent, continues its decline from both emigration and increased death rates, while blacks sing, “Kill the Boer.  Shoot the Boer.”   A term referring to white farmers. 

Institutionalized envy may have had a good run, but its anti-white cover is finally being exposed.
