More often than not, one of the most difficult admissions a person can make is “I’m wrong.” And that admission is exponentially more difficult if a person has been, in the words of Evan Sayet, “as wrong as wrong can be.” For many months, you have bashed Black Lives Matter and Critical Race Theorists and other Marxist activists for blaming the White Race for racial discrimination against Black Americans. As you study CRT theory in depth and apply critical thinking to its suppositions and allegations, is it possible that systemic racism does indeed exist? The proof lies in the evidence — the data — as scientists are quick to assert. Perhaps there is unassailable proof that Black Americans have been denied admission to many lucrative career paths — to equal opportunity. Note: Statistical sources vary. African Americans represent between 13-14% of the U. S. population. White, 60%; Hispanic 18%; Asian, 6.0%.

This “white collar,” “blue collar” list is a small sample. But it tells a big story. Mostly a sad one. Under one category (Federal Workforce), African Americans are significantly over represented compared to the AA population. In several others, they are within 2-4% of a proportional representation. But for the substantial majority of career paths, Black Americans are profoundly under represented. The statistical evidence is irrefutable. Who to blame? CRT and BLM disciples point to White American culprits. Who else? They occupy the positions of power. Only one conclusion seems possible — White Racist Americans must be conspiring to prohibit the hiring of qualified African American candidates. But wait. You notice a deviation, an aberration, that confuses the entire issue.

The oddity is this. With respect to approximately 1700 NFL athletes, Black players have a 70% majority. In a distant second are white players who make up only 28% of the league. According to activist Richard Lapchick, the NBA in 2020 was composed of 74.2% Black players, with Whites a meager 16.9%. This racial disparity raises the question: Is it possible Black racism exists among Black NFL and NBA owners? Very likely not, since the NFL has not one Black owner and the NBA has only one (Michael Jordan). Evidently, white team owners are not guilty of systemic racism. Why not? These issues are paradoxically vexing. Any day now, you expect that BLM and CRT will clear up the paradox and reveal the identities of those white Americans who systematically violate the futures of Black Americans. Everyone wants to know just who they are. You want to know. Any day now you expect BLM and CRT to step up and expose the racists and the racism that snuff out any chance for Black Americans to prosper. Everyone needs answers. Especially Black Americans. They deserve to know whom to blame. Don’t they?
