The Absurdity of Quotas and Unintended Consequences
Unintended consequences of wokeness, quotas, poor education is that more and more Americans are waking up to the fact that the socialist Democrat Party has not been acting in their or America’s best interests
“I promise to appoint a Black woman to the United States Supreme Court,” said candidate, now President Joe Biden. This is the current number one prime example that the socialist, elitist, Democrat Party and their minions cannot get past their long history of racism. The pre-Civil War Democrats were racist, the pre-Civil Rights Movement Democrats were racist, and today’s Democrats are continuing racism. The socialist, elitist Democrat Party and their minions claim they are doing all these good things for Black people, but to select one race of people to favor is racist. And Uncle Joe has demonstrated racism throughout his whole political career. In his pick for Vice President and his pending pick for the Supreme Court, not only is he racist, he is sexist as well.
To Be Perfectly Woke
According to the 2020 Census, 61% of Americans are White, 13% are Black, 18% are Hispanic, 6% are Asian and 1% are American natives (Indians, Native Alaskan, Native Hawaiian). Additional, 51% of Americans are female, and 49% are male.
The woke, socialist, elitist, Democrat Party, and their minions have been preaching total equality and somehow believe race and sexual identity is the key to leveling the playing field for everything in America. Based on this warped rationale almost every institution in America must be changed to reflect the makeup of the American population. So, let’s examine what America should look like based on that wacky conclusion.
According to the woke formula, the United States House of Representatives needs to achieve the following goal: 264 White Congress persons, 58 Black Congress persons, 7 Native American Congress persons, 27 Asian Congress persons, and 79 Hispanic Congress persons. Of those, 222 should be female, and 213 should be male.
The Senate is much easier to calculate: 61 White, 13 Black, 1 American Native, 6 Asians, 18 Hispanics, of which 51 must be female, and 49 must be male.
The Supreme Court should be made up of: 5 White, 1 Black, 1 Native American, 1 Asian, 1 Hispanic, with 5 being female and 4 being male.
Consider this in Your Personal Life
How about the composition of the United States military? The American female population is grossly under represented, and no doubt the racial makeup is skewed as well. These things must be corrected if President Biden’s premise about a Black female Supreme Court Justice is correct.
The woke formula also dictates that in professional sports entertainment, only 13% of the National Basketball League, National Football League, and Major League Baseball may be Black people. Speaking of entertainment, all other forms need to be reassessed to be sure that the proper race and sex ratios reflect the American population. Then too, 51% of those entertainers must be female.
Is the absurdity of racial and/or sex related quotas starting to dawn on you? These are two of the worst possible measures of anyone for any job. Yet here are the woke Democrats demanding this standard, competency be damned.
Consider this scenario. You are in the hospital about to have a very complex surgical procedure. No doubt you would want the best qualified surgeon in the world for that procedure. As you are about to go under the knife, you discover that your surgeon was hired, not because of his or her competency, but because of his or her identity based on race and/or sex. Your surgeon is there to satisfy a quota so, the hospital does not come under fire from the woke American socialist, elitist, Democrat Party and their minions. Will you feel warm and fuzzy about that selection of a surgeon?
Wokeness is the consequence of a lousy American education system
Wokeness is the consequence of a lousy American education system that failed to include critical thinking, so people could evaluate broader information and assess the impact of a particular action with other possible considerations. Too many Americans have been trained to have tunnel vision, and they have no ability to connect the dots about how an action relates to other issues. Was this the intended consequence of our education system or simply unintended consequence? I could argue both sides of that question.
There is little doubt that for the past few decades the American education system has managed to dumb down American youth. That is the principle reason it has been so easy for the socialist, elitist Democrat Party, and their minions to inflict such frauds as human caused climate change, America as a major world polluter, and mind control relating to the COVID fraud. An uneducated population is much easier to control than an educated population. That was the main reason the Democrat slave owners made it illegal to educate Black slaves prior to, and during the Civil War. That is also why the socialist, elitist, Democrat Party and their minions continue to fight against such things as school choice. If they can keep the young in the socialist public schools, they still have some control over what is being taught.
The unintended consequences of wokeness, quotas, and poor education is that more and more Americans are waking up to the fact that politicians in general, and the socialist Democrat Party in particular, have not been acting in their or America’s best interest. Thank Donald J. Trump for shining the light on those cockroaches, and thank the cockroaches for overreaching and validating the corruption President Trump brought to light.
"However [political parties] may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion." ~ George Washington
