If you were an alien who just arrived on Earth from Venus and watched several hours of national news, you would probably ask the question, “Why are so many high-profile black women in very high-powered jobs so laughably terrible at those jobs?”
Then you would be immediately surrounded by a gaggle of MSM “journalists.” You’d probably expect them to pepper you with comments and questions such as, “Holy Schiff! You’re actually a real, live alien, aren’t you?!” and, “How did you get here from Venus, and what is the life on your planet like?” and, “Do you come in peace?”
But you’d only expect that because you’re from Venus, and have no conception of what crapulent, leftist hacks our MSM “journalists” are.
They would certainly bum rush you and start screaming comments and questions. But they’d blow right past the fact that an alien life form has appeared on earth, and get down to the really important stuff.
By which I mean they would turn red in the face (no offense Grandma Squanto) (#wemustneverstopmockingher), stamp their tiny feet, and scream accusations at you. Such as, “How dare you question any black female ever?”
or “Would you say that you’re more of a Venusian supremacist or a Venusian nationalist?”
or “Are you here to colonize earth? Because that is the kind of bigoted question we’d expect from a Venusian colonizer!”
Then they would demand that you check your green privilege, and call you a racist, and spit on you.
And if you then felt like pulling out a death ray weapon that I hope you have and blasting them all, I speak for most of us when I say, “Blast away.”
And after all that, while you and I were enjoying a bottle of bourbon while sitting beside a smoking pile of molecularly disassembled leftist hacks, I would explain how our country has succumbed to the folly of DEI and racial preferences in hiring.
Okay, perhaps I’ve already had a little bourbon, and that introduction might have gotten away from me a little bit.
So let me start again: identity politics and racial and gender preferences in hiring are terrible for everyone.
They’re obviously bad for the people who get discriminated against, and for the public or customers who are supposed to be served by people who are hired for reasons other than merit. But they’re also bad for the individuals and groups who theoretically “benefit” from them.
Let’s look at a few recent examples:
You all remember Claudine Gay. She was the history-making first black female president of Harvard. Normally, any academic wanting a job like that would have to have published at least a few highly respected books, and a stellar record of achievements as an administrator.
Gay had published zero books, and only 11 articles, all of which were boiler-plate, fashionably leftist takes on race. (Without reading them, any liberal arts prof could summarize the abstracts of all of them: “Black people good, white people bad.”)
But as MLK always said, “Judge not by the content of their curriculum vitae, but by the color of their skin.” So Claudine got the job.
Annnnddddd…
When asked whether blood-curdling calls for anti-Semitic genocide are bad in front of a national audience, she couldn’t figure out an answer.
Which made reasonable people scratch their heads, and wonder what kind of qualifications someone that dumb could possibly have to be president of Harvard.
Annnnndddd…
It turns out that her paper-thin publication record is littered with many, many instances of blatant plagiarism.
Speaking of horrifically unqualified Harvard big shots, a few minutes after Gay resigned in disgrace (though her emotional pain was probably eased by being given a Harvard teaching job for $900K per year), some anonymous tipster suggested that Harvard look into the academic record of their chief diversity and inclusion office Sherri Ann Charleston.
Annnnndddd…
It turns out that she plagiarized at least 40 times. Which is even more impressive when you consider that she crammed all of that fraudulence into just two documents: her dissertation, and ONE published article.
Which, it turns out was an article that her husband actually wrote, and that she just re-packaged and claimed as her own.
And it’s not just academics. You may remember Marilyn Mosby, a racial grifter who got herself elected State’s Attorney in Baltimore in 2015. She immediately started blazing a path of leftist incompetence that only added to the travails of the masochistic black Democrat community in Baltimore, who continue to elect incompetent imbeciles who “look like [them].”
She announced that her office would stop prosecuting many “lower level” crimes. You may be shocked to learn that crime in Baltimore then went up. Unexpectedly!
She also made a national name for herself by charging and prosecuting 6 cops who were connected (mostly tangentially) to the death of career criminal Freddie Gray while he was in custody and being driven to jail.
Despite several prisoners’ testimony that Gray had been intentionally banging himself around inside the police van, and no evidence that the cops had hurt him, Mosby threw the book at all 6 cops.
Annnndddddd… all 6 were acquitted.
She was tossed out in the next election, after investigators noticed that she had taken a “hardship” withdrawal from retirement funds (when she was making $250K per year), to buy multiple rental properties in Florida (each of which she claimed was going to be a second home), and lied about several issues on her loan application.
Annndddd…. last week she was convicted on three perjury and fraud charges.
Which brings us to Fani “what ‘chu talkin’ bout” Willis, who showed her fanny and got bitten on it in a glorious day of testimony this week.
This bonehead wanted to make herself a star by prosecuting Trump and 19 others on a raft of ridiculous RICO charges, and never has there been a more hilarious illustration of the bromide, “be careful what you wish for.”
Her testimony on Thursday turned into a glorious self-immolation by a race-card playing dunce who was in far over her head. When searching for a top lawyer to take on the incredibly complicated and high-profile RICO case, she picked a guy who had prosecuted mostly traffic cases, and had zero RICO experience.
And the fact that he and she were sleeping together had NOTHING to do with it.
The best argument she could make was that she started banging the attorney she hired – and over-paid – only AFTER she hired him. Because that makes it all better.
She claimed that she reimbursed her boy toy for all of the money he spent on her for trips and gifts, but that she did so in cash only. Sweet, conveniently untraceable cash.
When asked why she would do that, she said that it was “a black thing” to keep thick wads of cash around at all times. And no, she couldn’t show any records of when she had withdrawn it from her bank, and you’re racist for asking.
In fact, she managed to dig a deeper hole when she said that some of that cash came from when she ran for office, and took campaign cash home for personal use. Which is illegal.
D’oh!
To be clear, all of these black women in high-powered jobs are not transparently corrupt failures because they are black or female. They were only in those high-powered jobs in the first place because they were black and female, and that is a result of the transparently corrupt system of DEI identity politics.
In that way, racial preferences worked for them the same way that nepotism works for rich or powerfully connected white folks.
Ted Kennedy was no more qualified to be a senator than he was to run a shake machine at McDonalds. Hunter Biden couldn’t find Ukraine on a map and knew nothing about the energy business, and my three-year-old daughter made more impressive art with finger paints.
But both of those reprobates were able to fail spectacularly on a big stage purely because of their last names.
The people who should be most outraged at frauds like Fani Willis, Marilyn Mosby and Claudine Gay are black women who work their butts off and legitimately earn their way to a spot at the table, only to be met by a skepticism that they don’t deserve.
And that is all on scammers like Willis, Mosby and Gay.
Hamas delenda est!
