A racialist outfit in Dallas, Texas, demands that whites not send their children to Ivy League and other top colleges to make room for blacks and Hispanics.
In an appeal to “white allies,” Dallas Justice Now says they must sacrifice the future of their children. Those who don’t are “racist hypocrites.”
The appeal is one of the more brazen and bizarre to ooze from the fever swamps of the Left. But it’s in keeping with most of what Americans have come to expect from the anti-white movement known as Black Lives Matter.
Childless? Hold Friends “Accountable”
The imperious demand from the outfit, which features a large photo of racialist James Baldwin on its home page, doesn’t mince words or beat around the bush, even if it is addressed “to our white allies.”
“Talk is not enough,” the angry note begins. “Commit yourself towards taking action and making sacrifices to correct centuries of injustice.”
The group’s “white allies” — if it has any left after this gets around — must “open up spaces for Black and LatinX communities by refusing to send your kids to Ivy League and US News & World Report Top 50 schools.”
As well, “white allies” must “encourage friends, neighbors, and family members to do the same. Imagine if those hundreds of thousands of spots at these institutions were occupied only by marginalized communities. Imagine the opportunities. We can achieve true equity within our lifetimes but only if white folks are willing to sacrifice their privileges.”
Then comes the demand that whites denounce themselves in a pen-and-ink Maoist struggle session. Surprisingly, the letter does not demand that “white allies” wear dunce caps, or don hair shirts and perform public penances.
College Pledge — Dallas Justice NowWhite allies must take the “Dallas Justice NOW College Pledge”:
As a white person with privilege both from my whiteness and my neighborhood I recognize the need to make sacrifices for the purpose of correcting hundreds of years of murder, slavery, discrimination, and lack of educational and economic opportunities perpetrated upon people of color. I understand that access to top schools is a key component in economic and social advancement. Therefore, I commit that my children will not apply to or attend any Ivy League School or US News & World Report Top 50 School so that position at that school is available for people of color to help correct historical wrongs. If I do not have children under 18 then I will commit to encouraging my white privileged friends, neighbors, and family members with children to sign the pledge and holding them accountable until they do so.
“Don’t be a racist hypocrite,” the group says. “Sign the pledge today!”
Minorities in Top Colleges
The openly anti-white sentiments of the group’s appeal aren’t its only problems. Another is the false suggestion that Ivy League schools have no place for blacks and “Latinx,” a nonsense word that leftists manufactured and that Hispanics hate.
Princeton just announced that 68 percent of its class of 2025 will be “people of color.” Just 32 percent will be white.
The rest of the Ivies, the Daily Mail reported, released these figures:
- Harvard University: 60 percent students of color, 40 percent white;
- Cornell University: 59-41;
- University of Pennsylvania: 56-44;
- Brown University: 55-45; and
- Dartmouth College: 48-52
Other data show that the largest non-white contingent at most schools is Asian, which might be why the Dallas group only included blacks and “Latinx” in its demand. Apparently, Asians don’t need or expect special set-asides to matriculate at top colleges.
Of Harvard’s class of 2025, for instance, 25.9 percent is Asian, 15.9 percent is black, and 12.5 percent is Hispanic.
The same is true for Princeton. Though it did not release a racial breakdown for the class of 2025, the previous year’s non-white numbers are similar to Harvard’s: 25 percent Asian, 10 percent black, and nine percent Hispanic.
Dallas Justice Now’s main demand is that the city defund its police so they can’t “hunt black men and women.”
