Trump
drew millions of votes protesting identity politics. The average American no
longer wilts at accusations of racism, sexism or other unfair discrimination,
which have become omnipresent. We know
such name calling today is often illegitimate, a bad faith ploy to seek the
upper hand. We see no ethical reason why
at this late date in the advancement of civil rights minorities should feel
entitled to the kind of governmental advantage that amounts to
reverse discrimination. In short we
refuse to acquiesce to things as they are and we expect change for the better
under the new administration.
To
that end we subscribe to the following tenets:
--Nothing
can be reliably judged solely by the race, sex, ethnicity or relative
wealth of its supporter or of its opponent.
--A
minority's claim is not always more deserving than that of a majority.
--Many
important truths can be conveyed without reference to race, sex, ethnicity or
relative wealth.
--The
views of white males are not by that very fact unworthy.
--Claimed
oppression does not equal merit.
--Questions
are best answered by investigation, not by assertion.
