Tucker looks at what happens when a government adopts a race-based spoils system, which the Civil Rights Movement was all about opposing, but which democrat-run states are again doing.
“In the summer of 2020, mobs of Joe Biden voters destroyed big parts of the city of Minneapolis. They looted stores, they burned a police station, they murdered people. But they did this, we were informed at the time, in the name of something called ‘racial justice’. But then we saw that some of the mob turned out to be privileged white kids, the children of lawyers from Bethesda. But, they said they were rioting on behalf of so-called ‘marginalized communities’, they were working for ‘racial justice’ and because of that, they couldn’t be punished for what they did. Nor, by the way, were they required to wear covid masks like the rest of us. That’s how ‘holy’ their mission was – they were exempt from the normal laws of civilization.”
“But, do you recall what happened next in Minneapolis? That’s the part of the story the media have no interest in covering, and they never do. The iron law of liberal social activism is that you never revisit the scenes of your ‘moral victories’. You give a speech declaring yourself a good person, and you go home.”
“African Americans are hunting Somalis in Minneapolis”, why is that? Well, because “they believe Somalis are getting special favors from the government”. Are you surprised to hear that? You should not be surprised, because when government creates a spoil system based on race and ethnicity, and our government certainly has done that, division and violence are the inevitable outcomes. That is true always and everywhere…and liberals for many decades used to pretend to understand that. That’s why they opposed Jim Crow and the Nuremberg laws. But at some point, and it would be interesting to know precisely when and why, liberals enthusiastically embraced the racial spoils system they once claimed to hate. This is unfolding across the country, but it’s especially prevalent in places liberals control. The more power liberals have, the more sweeping and rigid the race-based spoils system they create. In California, of course, they have absolute power, and that’s why the government of San Francisco has just announced they will send you money if you have the right skin color.”
“How do you know who qualifies for reparations? It’s been a long time, it’s been more than 150 years since slavery, and Americans have made a lot of babies since then, many of them interracial. So, at this point, there are plenty of white people in America who are descended from slaves, there are plenty of black people in America who are descended from slave owners. That’s just true. So, how do you know who qualifies for government reparations? Well, of course there’s only one way to find out, and it’s old-fashioned Nazi ‘race science’.”
“…So, that is, every word of it, a racist lie. There’s precisely no evidence that structural racism exists in this country against the community she’s talking about, and none whatsoever that it causes higher infant mortality. There’s no science whatsoever, that’s just, again, a racist lie. But, more to the point, nobody says ‘birthing people’ should ever be in charge of handing out money to mothers, much less taxpayers’ money. But, of course, that’s happening, and that tells you, well, this is a grift.”
“It’s hard to overstate just how crazy and divisive that is. In order for that to work in practice, you would have to take people’s blood and figure out what percentage they were of one race or the other, maybe measure their heads. You would wind up with Nazi race science, with racial purity tests, and no decent person wants to live in a country where the government does that. It’s obviously a dead end and a terrible idea, and it would, of course, promote violence and division.”
“But Joe Biden decided he was going to get around a national debate on reparations simply by just doing it, throwing it in the farm bill.”
“There’s an entire civil rights department at the justice department, a division designed to stop the government from rewarding or punishing people on the basis of skin color. That was the whole point of the Civil Rights Movement. But, they’re doing nothing. Of course, they’re encouraging it, because democrats run the government.”
