It’s systemic racism, Jim – just not as the left want us to know it.
It’s said that an easy test of Critical Race Theory is to take any given statement made by its promoters, and substitute black for white. If the argument is obviously racist when the subject is black, then it’s just as racist if the subject is white.
Similarly, discrimination against a group of people solely on the basis of skin colour is racist. No matter what their skin colour. Giving preference to a group because of their skin colour is also racist.
White Illinois farmers are challenging part of the recent COVID-19 stimulus law in court because it allocates federal benefits based on skin colour.
The civil rights suit, Kent v. Vilsack, was filed in federal court June 7 by Sacramento, California-based Pacific Legal Foundation (PLF), a national public-interest law firm. Tom Vilsack is being sued in his official capacity as U.S. secretary of agriculture. The firm has filed two other such lawsuits against Vilsack and expects to file more.
At issue is part of the American Rescue Plan Act which stiffs the taxpayer for up to 120% of the debts of farmers and ranchers… depending on their skin colour.
Section 1005 “assumes farmers and ranchers are socially disadvantaged for no other reason than their membership in a racial group,” and “categorically excludes other farmers and ranchers from loan assistance because they do not belong in a ‘socially disadvantaged racial group,’” according to the legal complaint.
“Farmers and ranchers who are Black, American Indian/Alaskan Native, Hispanic, Asian, and Hawaiian/Pacific Islander are eligible for loan assistance, regardless of whether they have suffered any racial discrimination in obtaining farm loans, farming, or elsewhere and regardless of their present economic circumstances. Farmers and ranchers who are white are ineligible for loan assistance, regardless of their individual circumstances.”
This whole “Rescue Plan” is only necessary because of the Chicken Little stupidity of politicians who, panicked by the Chinese Virus, shut down almost the entire American economy for months at a time. Now, they’re making taxpayers make up the loss – and be party to systemic anti-white racism.
PLF attorney Glenn Roper told The Epoch Times in an interview that the program, which he described as “racially discriminatory,” is unconstitutional.
“On the customer data worksheet that you fill out with the USDA, it lists five different races and ethnicities. I think all of them are considered socially disadvantaged under this law, except for if you check the ‘white’ box.”
This is where the racist gibberish of Critical Race Theory collides with the real world.
In a similar lawsuit, Faust v. Vilsack, U.S. District Judge William Griesbach of Green Bay, Wisconsin, issued a temporary restraining order against the USDA program on June 10.
“Plaintiffs are excluded from the program based on their race and are thus experiencing discrimination at the hands of their government,” Griesbach wrote.

When the US government adopts an ideology which actively discriminates against just one race, what else can it be called but “systemic racism”?
As always, whatever the left are accusing others of is precisely what they are doing themselves.
