“#Joe Biden’s presidential term will be one long PC struggle session<\/strong>”

It\u2019s an odd way to seek national unity: call a significant portion of the American public white supremacists, racists and nativists. Welcome to the Joe Biden presidency.<\/p>\n

The new president\u2019s inaugural speech is predictably being hailed for its \u201cunifying\u201d message. And just as predictably, his invocations of the divisive bromides of the identitarian left are being swept under the rug.<\/p>\n

According to Biden, we are a \u201cgreat nation\u201d and a \u201cgood people.\u201d But we also oppress minorities with an ever-rising fervor. \u201cGrowing inequity\u201d is among the greatest challenges facing the country, according to Biden, along with the \u201csting of systemic racism\u201d and encroaching \u201cwhite supremacy.\u201d Only now are we confronting \u201ca cry for racial justice, some 400 years in the making.\u201d<\/p>\n

Biden rattled off a litany of white America\u2019s sins: the \u201charsh, ugly \u00adreality\u201d of \u201cracism, nativism, fear [and] demonization\u201d; \u201canger, \u00adresentment, hatred [and] extremism.\u201d He didn\u2019t name white Americans as such, but he didn\u2019t need to. That qualifier is inherent in the language he chose to adopt.<\/p>\n

One might have thought that more than 50 years of civil-rights legislation; the banishing of Jim Crow segregation; the ubiquity of racial preferences throughout corporate America, higher education and government; trillions of tax dollars attempting to close the \u00adacademic achievement gap; and the election of black politicians by white voting districts would have reduced inequity, not increased it. But to Biden\u2019s speechwriters, steeped in academic victimology, racial inequity is always with us, requiring constant remedia<\/a>tion from government.<\/p>\n

This characterization of America\u2019s worsening racism isn\u2019t just factually ungrounded, it is also a tasteless rhetorical move in an \u00adinaugural address.<\/p>\n

Reflexive invocations of \u201csystemic racism\u201d and \u201cwhite supremacy\u201d have become the Tourette\u2019s syndrome of left-wing professors and activists. They are au courant, shallow terms of the moment, lacking depth or weight.<\/p>\n

In fact, such terms are so overused today that it is easy to tune them out. But that would be a mistake. The \u201csystemic racism\u201d conceit means that every American institution is illegitimate and needs to be reconstructed.<\/p>\n

Biden\u2019s Cabinet nominees, whether in health, finance, environmental policy or education, have declared that eradicating systemic racism is their top priority. How this agenda will play out has already been adumbrated in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention\u2019s initial priority list for COVID vaccinations: Hold off on vaccinating the elderly, despite their higher risk levels, because the elderly are disproportionately white.<\/p>\n

Racial quotas will become even more the order of the day than now. The diversity obsessives in the federal science<\/a> bureaucracies waited out Donald Trump\u2019s presidency. They will now redouble their \u00adefforts to treat a researcher\u2019s race and sex as scientific qualifications in the awarding of federal research grants. Expect to see any mention of merit or excellence denounced as a form of bigotry \u2014 a response that the University of California and the Smithsonian\u2019s National Museum of African American History and Culture, as well as an army of corporate diversity trainers, have already perfected.<\/p>\n

The next four years will likely be one long anti-white-privilege struggle session. Any real effort to close racial achievement gaps, such as fighting the \u201cacting-white\u201d ethic that prevents many inner-city children from trying hard in school, will be deferred and discredited. Biden is betting that white liberals, at least, will continue hanging their heads in penance for their hereditary crimes and trot off to their latest show trial. Given past behavior, he is probably right.<\/p>\n
