The inescapable reality of racial differences, combined with the false reality of blank slate theory, necessitates communism. If everyone is “the same”, then disparities of outcome can only be explained by unfair discrimination. If, however, racial differences are real, then no amount of intervention will ever equalize outcomes. The only way to flatten those results is communism. Redistribute endless jobs and opportunities and resources to the “oppressed” racial demographics, but things don’t get better because the uncomfortable underlying issue - inherent racial differences - is never addressed.
The mistake so many of us made was pretending that racial differences didn’t exist. We were trying to “go along to get along”, to charitably sweep an unpleasant truth under the rug in order to establish harmony. But we were betrayed. After creating the “colorblind” identity politics ceasefire, leftists immediately used our courtesy as a cudgel. They claimed that our polite coerced denial of racial differences was really ironclad proof that all disparities in outcome are a result of “muh systemic racism”. And because we had signed on to that colorblind ceasefire, we had no defense against their identity-based attacks.
The best example of this is black crime. Everyone knows blacks commit wildly disproportionate amounts of violent crime. But in service of “our society”, of the greater the good, we all sort of decided not to point out this obvious reality. Our understanding was that police would continue to put criminals behind bars, that most of those criminals would probably be black, and that “racism” would be defeated by not publicly acknowledging why this was completely correct.
Then leftists turned around and said no, blacks are “disproportionately” harmed by police for literally no good reason, and that the only possible reason was in fact racial discrimination. So then we needed all kinds of communist redistribution of justice - branded as “restorative justice” - in order to flatten all those inconvenient crime stats. Enter the legions of progressive prosecutors who refuse to charge black criminals. Enter the progressive judges who hand down reduced sentences and bail for black offenders. Enter the decriminalization movement to lower the bar of society until more black criminals can clear it.
And all the while, we’re told that the most law-abiding and productive major racial demographic in the country is somehow the most dangerous and evil and problematic one. The true eternal victims are, somehow, the ones committing most of the crimes and violence and anti-social behavior against everyone else. And this total inversion of our observable reality was made possible by a single solitary mistake, one little white lie that we all signed on to sometime in the 1990s: everyone is the same.
