How Leftists Make People Racist

A white student is told he is born into privilege. A black student is told she is born into oppression. Both are told that their identity determines their destiny. The white student feels guilty. The black student feels angry. Neither feels like they are part of the same country. The leftists who designed this curriculum did not intend to create racists. But they did.In this episode, I examine the unintended consequences of leftist identity politics. The constant focus on race teaches people to see race first. The constant focus on oppression teaches people to see themselves as victims or oppressors. The constant focus on systemic racism teaches people that individual effort is irrelevant. The result is not a more just society. The result is a more divided society.The leftists who claim to be fighting racism are actually fueling it. They are teaching white people to feel guilty for being white. They are teaching black people to feel resentful for being black. They are teaching everyone that race is the most important thing about them. That is the definition of racism. The left has become the thing it claims to oppose.Turn down the lights, put on your headphones, and press play because leftists are making people racist. And they do not even see it.
