Socialism + Racism 101

Reverse racism is always the best kind of racism because it is payback for years of oppression – right? I mean, you must have a goal if you want “equality” and maybe that goal should be more like social justice.

And just in case you don’t remember what social justice is, I have a refresher:

“Social justice” is “justice” in terms of the distribution of wealth, opportunities, and privileges within a society.” Classically, “justice” (especially corrective justice or distributive justice) ensured that individuals both fulfilled their societal roles and received what was their due from society.”

Then along comes a guy of Dominican descent. A US Congressman, who wants to join the illustrious Black Caucus. But because the Congressional Black Caucus seems to demand racial purity, this dark-skinned fellow is not welcome. That makes progressive sense.

Fight nice, people. Never give up until Latinos have paid Black Americans back for – slavery? Is that the message. Either I’m confused, or the Congressional Black Caucus is in a dope spiral.

How far can you flog stupid? Or is this more about “the take” Black Caucus members want from the taxpayers whose ancestors oppressed them along with how much the booty would have to be split between the descendants of the oppressed. If you dilute the purity of the so-called oppressed, you get less of “your share.” This part of “trickle down” the Congressional Black Caucus understands.

Socialism + Racism 101.
